FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets did not make new addition Percy Harvin available to the media Wednesday, but fellow wideout Jeremy Kerley did talk.

And there was more to speak about than Harvin, since Kerley just signed a four-year contract extension Tuesday. (The deal is worth $16 million, with $5.4 million guaranteed, a league source told ESPN's Adam Caplan.)

"It's been back and forth for a little while," Kerley said, when asked how long he and the Jets had been discussing an extension. "I'm glad it got done in the time that it got done. It feels good to be here for hopefully another four years."

The former fifth-round pick out of TCU is in his fourth NFL season. In 2012, his best year, Kerley had 56 catches for 827 yards and two touchdowns. Last year, in 12 games, he had 43 catches for 523 yards and three touchdowns.

So far this season, in seven games, Kerley has 22 catches for 201 yards and one score.

Kerley said he did not think about testing free agency. "I thought that this is the place I call home, I've been feeling good since I've been here," he said. "To get the deal done here, it's a great thing for me and my family."

It remains to be seen exactly how the Jets will use Harvin. But there's a chance his presence could lead to less opportunities for Kerley, since Kerley is a slot receiver and Harvin has been used extensively in the slot in the past. But Kerley doesn't sound concerned about that.

"First thing I thought when we got him was (he is) just another playmaker," Kerley said. "The things that he brings to the table is amazing. So, it just helps Geno (Smith) out, (it) helps this offense out and gives us a better chance to win."
