December 11, 2012Jets Bring Back Braylon Edwards
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
WR Braylon Edwards is back with the Gang Green after being claimed off waivers this afternoon. He was released on Monday by the Seattle Seahawks after catching just 8 passes for 74 yards, 1 TD for them this season. Edwards is expected to step in for rookie WR Stephen Hill, who suffered a sprained knee on Sunday against the Jaguars.

posted by: Site Admin | 1 comments | Player Contracts
WR Stephen Hill, who was drafted by the Jets in the second round of this year's draft, agreed to a 4-year deal worth around $5M, which includes $2.8M in guaranteed money. The Gang Green traded up to select Hill, giving up 5th and 7th round picks to move up four spots in the second round to select him.
April 27, 2012Jets Trade Up To Grab Stephen Hill In Round 2
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | NFL Draft
The New York Jets made a trade with the Seattle Seahawks in Round 2 to select WR Stephen Hill from Georgia Tech. Hill, 6'4", 215 lbs, is projected to be the deep threat that the Jets' offense has lacked since the departure of WR Braylon Edwards. He ran 40 yards in 4.36 seconds at the scouting combine and averaged almost 30 yards per reception in his last NCAA season. Hill caught 15 passes for 291 yards, 3 TD in 2010 and then broke through in 2011 with 28 receptions for 820 yards, 5 TD.
NFL Free Agency will start today at 4PM ET with about 600 free agents hitting the open market. The New York Jets currently have around $14M of salary cap space, following the contract restructures of QB Mark Sanchez and OT D’Brickashaw Ferguson, and quite a few needs that have to be filled this offseason.
January 2, 2012Jets Fall In Miami, Miss Playoffs
posted by: Site Admin | 3 comments | Jets Regular Season
This was another must win, although the Jets would not have made the playoffs anyway if they had won, but for the third straight week the Gang Green simply forgot to show up, losing to Miami, 19-17. As the final seconds of the Jets' disappointing season were ticking off the clock, WR Santonio Holmes was sitting on the bench after being taken out of the game by the Jets' coaching staff. This was a fitting end to this disastrous season that started with Super Bowl promises and ended with a 3-game losing streak and reported locker room turmoil afterwards.
There’s a lot of blame to go around for the offense’s woes this season. Mark Sanchez is usually more than willing to accept responsibility and the blame for these issues. But how much of the blame should be placed on Mark?
December 22, 2011A Look Back At Other Jets Week 15 Collapses
posted by: Murrell2878 | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
Some people wonder where the SOJ (Same ol’ Jets) mantra comes from. Well, unfortunately you don’t have to look much further than last week’s abysmal performance. This was their latest display of putrid football when they needed to play their best. We have seen the Jets bounce back from this mess before. We’ve also seen them completely fall apart. What the end of the 2011 season will look like is anyone’s guess. Here’s a look at some other recent Week 15 collapses.
After a couple of rather hectic weeks of free agency, the Jets find themselves in a bit of trouble at one position where they were among the strongest in the NFL last season - wide receiver. Only one member of last season's "Flight Boys" is still with the Jets, Santonio Holmes. The other two, Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery, are gone and replaced with big question marks or not replaced at all.
August 4, 2011Plaxico Tweaks Ankle, Won't Practice
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Training Camp
Recently signed WR Plaxico Burress injured his ankle while working out independetly and will not practice this afternoon. He will most likely miss the next few days as well. The injury is not related to the chronic ankle problems that Burress had while playing for the New York Giants. WR Jerricho Cotchery, on the other hand, is very close to coming back after being put on PUP list. Although Cotchery's days with the Jets could be numbered, as the team is expected to sign veteran WR Derrick Mason.
August 3, 2011Jets Offer Shaun Ellis 1-Year Deal, McKnight Struggles
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
According to DE Shaun Ellis' agent, the Jets have offered Ellis a 1-year deal for veteran's minimum $910K. Ellis, 34, has spent his entire career with the Jets after being drafted in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft. He missed only 6 games in 11 seasons, registering 343 tackles, 72.5 sacks, 12 forced fumbles and 1 interception. Ellis' agent indicated that his client is currently weighing his options but would like nothing more than to end his career as a New York Jet.
July 31, 2011Jets Land Burress, Heap Comes To Visit
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
The New York Jets signed WR Plaxico Burress who spent last two years in jail and hasn't played since 2008. It's a 1-year deal worth $3,017,000. Burress will turn 34 next month and it's a big question whether he can regain his form of 2007 when he scored 12 touchdowns for the Giants. This obviously means that WR Braylon Edwards will not be back with the Gang Green.
July 30, 2011Jets Bring Back Strickland, Might Get Plaxico Burress
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
The New York Jets signed CB Donald Strickland to a 1-year deal. Strickland played for the Gang Green in 2009, registering 26 tackles (22 solo), 2 pass defenses, 2 sacks and 1 forced fumble. Last season Strickland played for the Chargers who released him 2 days ago. Strickland, however, is no more than just a role player. So, the Jets still need a starter at CB, which means that they will still try to re-sign CB Antonio Cromartie or trade for CB Asante Samuel of the Philadelphia Eagles.
July 30, 2011Eric Smith Stays With Gang Green
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
According to several reports, S Eric Smith has agreed to terms on a 3-year deal with the New York Jets. Keeping Smith was very important for the Jets who already failed to secure the services of CB Nnamdi Asomugha and lost WR/KR Brad Smith, a very important special team player for the Gang Green. Special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff reached out to Eric Smith several times since the free-agency negotiating period opened.
July 28, 2011It's Jets vs. Texans For Asomugha
posted by: Site Admin | 3 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
It looks like it's the Jets vs. the Texans in the battle to sign CB Nnamdi Asomugha. There are several reports that Houston is going all-out to land the top prize of this year's free agency. They are offering Asomugha a contract with an average of $12-14M a year, which is more than the Jets are paying CB Darrelle Revis. The Gang Green are about $10M under the salary cap and it might be problematic to match or beat Houston's offer.
July 27, 2011Jets Re-sign Santonio Holmes, Clemens Joins Redskins
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
According to various sources, the New York Jets came to an agreement Wednesday morning with WR Santonio Holmes, who was their #1 free agent priority. The deal is reportedly for 5 years but Holmes won't officially sign until Friday, which is the first day of free agent signings.
July 27, 2011No Jail Time For Braylon Edwards, Jets Want Randy Moss

Free agent WR Braylon Edwards will not serve any jail time for violating his probation. Edwards could have been sentenced to up to six month in jail, but instead he will serve 100 hours of community service and receive one year of active probation. Braylon has to report once a month, on the phone or in person and talk to a probation officer.

May 23, 2011Jets Might Look To Add Randy Moss
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
According to various sources, the New York Jets might be interested in adding WR Randy Moss to their wide receiving corps when the lockout is lifted. WR Braylon Edwards and WR Santonio Holmes will both be unrestricted free agents if the 2010 free agency rules aren’t reinstated, and although the Jets have stated that they would want to keep them both, it might not be financially possible.
February 28, 2011Jets To Part Ways With Jenkins, Woody, Taylor And Ghost
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Player Release
According to ESPN, earlier today the New York Jets released OT Damien Woody, a 13-year veteran who spent last 3 seasons with the Jets. Woody got injured late in the season and missed 3 regular season games along with 2 games in the playoffs. OL Vlad Ducasse has been rumored to switch to Woody's position on the right side of the offensive line.
February 6, 2011Jets Plan To Franchise David Harris
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Player Contracts
According to a report on ESPN.com, the New York Jets will most likely use their franchise tag on MLB David Harris whose contract expires at the end of this season. The linebacker franchise tag number last season was $9.6M, but Harris would obviously like a long-term deal. If franchise tags are allowed -- and the NFLPA plans to battle that -- the Jets will restrict the 27-year-old Harris but will allow starters WR Santonio Holmes and WR Braylon Edwards to test the free-agent market.
Over 10,000 fans gathered at Hofstra University earlier today to watch the Jets in their only appearance at their former practice home. Although the Gang Green players did not have their pads on, the fans still got to see some tackling, as a seemingly drunken fan ran onto the field and got taken down by security guards.
June 16, 2010Jets Hold Final Mini-Camp Practice At New Stadium
posted by: Site Admin | 3 comments | Mini-camp
The New York Jets concluded their mini camp today with a practice at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Around 12,000 fans reportedly attended this morning's session, which exceeds 7,000 that attended the Giants' practice earlier this week. NT Kris Jenkins, who missed most of last season due to injury, and disgruntled CB Darrelle Revis both participated in the practice session. Although Jenkins appeared to be held off in all contact drills, he did spend some time entertaining the fans.
The New York Jets acquired WR Santonio Holmes from the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night for a fifth-round draft in the 2010 NFL Draft. Holmes, the 2009 Super Bowl MVP, caught 79 passes for 1,248 yards, 5 TDs last season. He has 235 career catches for 3,835 yards and 20 touchdowns, but also brings his share of off-field issues, which could explain why the Jets only had to give up their 5th round pick for him.
March 3, 2010Jets Tender Three Players. Interested In Cromartie
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
The New York Jets have placed a second-round tender on RB Leon Washington, which is basically a 1-year deal worth $1.759M that gives the Jets the right of first refusal. If another team makes a bid to sign Washington and the Jets decline to match the offer, the Gang Green would receive a second-round pick.
The Jets and WR Braylon Edwards are still far apart on contract talks, as the wide receiver wants a long term deal, while the Gang Green want to see Edwards to dedicate himself to the team’s offseason program and become more consistent in 2010. Edwards, who had 6 drops in regular season, caught 35 passes for 541 yards and 4 TDs in 12 games with the Jets. He is a restricted free agent and the club is expected to give him a 1-year tender offer of slightly more than $5M.

DE Shaun Ellis and FB Tony Richardson missed today's practice due to injuries suffered last Sunday against the San Diego Chargers. Ellis has a broken hand but is expected to play against the Colts. Richardson has a rib injury and was held out for precautionary reasons. He should be ready for Sunday as well. RB Thomas Jones also sat out this practice session, just like in the previous few weeks.

According to ESPN.com, offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer declined the chance to interview for the Buffalo head coaching job this week or after the season. Schottenheimer has remarked throughout the season how much he enjoys working with new Jets head coach Rex Ryan, rookie QB Mark Sanchez, and how truly content he is with his current job as the offensive coordinator of the league's top-ranked running attack.
January 12, 2010Revis Finishes Second. Edwards, Sheppard Miss Practice
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Playoffs
CB Darrelle Revis finished second in The Associated Press 2009 NFL Defensive Player of the Year voting with 14 votes. CB Charles Woodson of the Green Bay Packers won the award with 28 votes. Despite shutting down elite wide receivers all season long, Revis just did not put up the stats impressive enough to challenge Woodson for the award. Revis finished regular season with 6 interceptions and 1 touchdown. Woodson, on the other hand, recorded 9 interceptions, 3 touchdowns and 4 forced fumbles.
MLB David Harris returned to practice this morning after missing Tuesday and Wednesday sessions. Harris, who suffered a sprained right ankle in last Sunday's game against the Bengals, worked with the first team and didn't show any signs of being hindered by the injury in the portion of practice open to the media. Although, the official injury report lists his participation in the session as limited.
November 22, 2009Jets Lose To Pats, Sanchez Remains Starter
posted by: Site Admin | 4 comments | Jets Regular Season
QB Mark Sanchez will start again next week despite throwing 4 interceptions and losing a fumble in a 14-31 loss against the New England Patriots. Head coach Rex Ryan said that he had no plans on benching the rookie, as sitting on the bench will not help him improve. This was the second time this season when Sanchez turned the ball over 5 times in one game.

S Jim Leonhard, who had surgery on his broken thumb earlier this week, missed today's practice and will not play on Sunday against the New England Patriots. Leonhard was injured when he tried to tackle Jags running back Maurice Jones-Drew on his 33-yard first-quarter touchdown in the Jets’ 24-22 loss last Sunday. He left the game briefly but returned and finished the game, recording seven tackles and a sack. S Eric Smith is expected to start in his place. Smith played an important role in the Week 2 win over the Patriots, blitzing Tom Brady a total of 17 times.

After al this talk about going to the playoffs despite starting the season 4-4 and today's game being a must win, the Jets defense simply forgot to show up this afternoon. They have already allowed 3 touchdowns and 250 yards against Jacksonville, proving once again that a lot of talking doesn't translate into results on the field.
November 2, 2009Will The Same Old Jets Ever Go Away?
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
If you've watched this team for as long as I have, you really should not be surprised at what happened yesterday in the Meadowlands. The Gang Green dominated their opponent, the Miami Dolphins, for almost the entire game, limited them to just 104 yards of total offense and still found a way to lose the game! Yes, those were the Same Old Jets that we got so used to seeing over all these painful years of amazing wins and shocking heartbreaking defeats. There was one thing though that we hadn't seen until yesterday - two back to back kickoff returns for touchdowns!
It's halftime and the Jets are tied, 3-3, against the Miami Dolphins. QB Mark Sanchez has looked just horrible, missing open receivers and muffing a snap late in the second quarter. He's 8 of 16 for 54 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT. Would QB Kellen Clemens be a better option at this point? It just can't be worse. Sanchez also almost threw an interception, but WR Braylon Edwards was able to knock the pass down. Of course, benching Sanchez would greatly affect his confidence, but isn't winning games more important?
WR Jerricho Cotchery (hamstring), WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) and CB Lito Sheppard (quadriceps) will all miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. CB Donald Strickland (ankle) and OT Damien Woody (knee, foot) are both listed as "questionable" and expected to play. Strickland will finally see action after missing the previous four games due to an ankle injury.

Both WR Jerricho Cotchery and WR Brad Smith will miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders due to hamstring and quadriceps injuries respectively. While Cotchery will most likely be ready for the Dolphins next week, Brad Smith could be out next week as well, according to head coach Rex Ryan. WR David Clowney will make his second start in a row, replacing Cotchery in the starting lineup. CB Lito Sheppard, who returned last week after missing the previous three games and reaggravated his quadriceps injury, will not play on Sunday as well.
October 22, 2009Jets Want Simpler Offense For Sanchez
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
Head coach Rex Ryan has indicated that the Jets will try to simplify the offensive system for rookie QB Mark Sanchez who threw 5 interceptions in the loss against the Buffalo Bills. After winning the Rookie of the Week award in each of the first three weeks of regular season, Sanchez first threw 3 interceptions in Week 4 against the Saints and then followed with the total disaster last Sunday. He now leads the league with 10 interceptions.
WR Jerricho Cotchery sat out this morning's practice session with a hamstring injury. He was listed as "questionable" for the game against Miami but did play and caught one pass for 4 yards. This time, however, it looks more like Cotchery will not suit up against the Bills.
October 13, 2009The Morning After: Jets Defense Can't Stop Wildcat
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
If last week in New Orleans it was QB Mark Sanchez' time to get back to earth, last night in Miami it was the heralded Jets' defense that lost the game for the Gang Green. The unit that many thought was among the league's elite got totally embarrassed by Miami's wildcat offense and 2nd year quarterback Chad Henne whom, as Rex Ryan put it after the game, the Jets' defense "made look like Dan Marino."
The New York Jets took a 13-10 lead right before halftime as PK Jay Feely converted his 22nd field goal attempt in a row. Recently acquired WR Braylon Edwards scored the only Jet's touchdown - a 3-yard pass from QB Mark Sanchez.
October 8, 2009Braylon Edwards Practices With Jets
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Regular Season
The newest Jets' acquisition, WR Braylon Edwards, practiced with the Gang Green for the first time this morning. He wore a white #17 jersey and caught passes from rookie QB Mark Sanchez, as well as backups QB Erik Ainge and QB Kevin O'Connell. Edwards is expected to start opposite WR Jerricho Cotchery on Monday Night against the Miami Dolphins.
Early this morning the New York Jets acquired WR Braylon Edwards from the Cleveland Browns - a tall speedy wide receiver that the Jets have been looking for since Rex Ryan took over as head coach. The addition of Edwards gives the Gang Green a proven vertical threat that basically makes the offense complete. The Jets now have two viable options at wide receiver, Edwards and Cotchery, an up and coming pass-catching tight end in Dustin Keller, along with two Pro Bowl running backs in the backfield. The presence of Edwards should also help the running game, as defenses will have to respect the Jets' deep passing attack.

Injured CB Lito Sheppard practiced for the first time in two weeks this morning. He has missed the last two games with a quadriceps injury. CB Donald Strickland, who has also missed the last two games with an ankle injury, did not practice. OT Damien Woody did not practice either and his availability for the Monday Night game is a question mark. He suffered an ankle injury against the Saints. Another player who got injured on Sunday, rookie RB Shonn Greene, participated in the practice session as well.
According to ESPN, the Cleveland Browns have agreed to trade WR Braylon Edwards to the New York Jets this morning. The terms of the deal are still being finalized, but it's believed that it includes LB Jason Trusnik, WR Chansi Stuckey and two undisclosed draft choices. Trusnik won AFC Special Teams Player of the Week last week and Stuckey is third on the team in receiving with 11 catches for 120 yards and a touchdown.
According to various sources, another trade between the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns might be in the works. The Jets are reportedly looking to trade disgruntled RB Thomas Jones for Cleveland's WR Braylon Edwards.
