The New York Jets have agreed to a two-year contract worth up to $20 million with guard Dylan Parham, a source confirmed to ESPN. The deal includes a $16 million base with $7.5 million guaranteed in the first year. Parham's signing comes as the Jets lost starting guards John Simpson and Alijah Vera-Tucker in free agency.

Parham, 26, brings stability to New York's offensive line after four seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. He started 63 of 64 career games and will reunite with quarterback Geno Smith, who was traded to the Jets Tuesday. Last season, Parham allowed six sacks and 43 pressures while posting a 95.2% pass block win rate.

The Raiders moved Parham from right guard to left guard last season, where he logged 2,477 career snaps. His addition fills a critical need for the Jets, who were left scrambling after losing two starters to division rivals. The Jets also signed reserve offensive lineman Max Mitchell to a one-year deal Wednesday.
