Alex Marvez of Fox Sports and Adam Schefter of NFL Network are reporting that the Jets and guard Alan Faneca have agreed on the largest free agent deal ever given to an offensive lineman.

The reports say that both the average value — $8 million a year for five years — and the guaranteed portion of the contract — $21 million — are the most any free agent lineman has ever had.

Although Faneca didn’t make any visits, he had offers from several teams, including the Rams and 49ers, but the Jets gave him the best deal. Despite some rumors to the contrary, the Cardinals were apparently never serious contenders, thanks in large part to having a huge portion of their salary cap tied up in wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
