The New York Jets will begin their training camp on July 29 at their practice facility in Florham Park, NJ. Both rookies and veterans will report on that day. The first practice is typically scheduled on the first day after but we'll definitely know later this week when the Jets officially announce their training camp schedule.

The New York Jets re-signed LB Calvin Pace, who was the second best pass-rusher on the team last year, to a 2-year contract worth $5M. Pace, 33, was released by the Gang Green in February of 2013 but later re-signed to a league minimum 1-year contract that expired at the end of the season. Despite being the oldest starter on the Jets defense, Pace arguably had his best season, as he set a career-high with 10 sacks.

The Jets are reportedly trying to restructure the contract of WR Santonio Holmes, who's scheduled to make $11.25M ($7.5M guaranteed) in 2013. The Gang Green have already dumped several veterans, including LB Bart Scott, LB Calvin Pace and S Eric Smith, creating close to $31M in cap relief that put them about $5.7M below the salary cap.

QB Mark Sanchez threw a couple of touchdown passes and ran for another two, as the New York Jets easily cruised past the Kansas City Chiefs, 37-10. It was the Gang Green's third win in a row but it might have come with a rather high price tag. S Jim Leonhard reportedly has a torn ligament in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season. On the positive side, besides the win, the Jets now control their own playoff destiny, as Cincinnati, Oakland and Tennessee all lost today.

Not many teams throw at CB Darrelle Revis, but the Miami Dolphins were stupid enough last night to do so on quite a few occasions. They paid the price, as Revis intercepted two passes and returned one of them 100 yards for a touchdown that turned out to be the game winner. Revis' pick six was crucial as it turned a potential 10-0 in favor of Miami into a 7-3 Jets' lead. It also completely changed the momentum in the first quarter when it seemed like the Dolphins were completely dominating the game on both sides of the football.

For the second week in a row C Nick Mangold is listed as "questionable" on the final injury report. This time, however, Rex Ryan said that Mangold's questionable status is just a formality and he's expected to suit up against the New England Patriots. LB Calvin Pace was limited in practice but is listed as "probable" and expected to play as well.

As it was expected, C Nick Mangold will miss Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders due to the ankle injury he suffered against the Jaguars. WR Logan Payne (wrist) and OL Rob Turner (ankle) are out as well. Undrafted rookie C Colin Baxter will start in place of Mangold.

Earlier today the New York Jets finally re-signed CB Antonio Cromartie whom they acquired last season from the San Diego Chargers. Cromartie, 27, will sign a 4-year contract worth $32M. Last season Cromartie registered 42 tackles (41 solo), defended 17 passes and intercepted 2. As we all know, the Jets wanted to sign CB Nnamdi Asomugha but the latter chose to join the Eagles, so the Jets had to settle for Cromartie instead.

According to the latest reports, the Jets have restructured the contracts of LB Calvin Pace, OG Brandon Moore, LB Bart Scott and RB LaDainian Tomlinson. We don't know the numbers yet, but the main purpose of these moves is definitely to create more salary cap room to sign CB Nnamdi Asomugha. It also seems like the Dallas Cowboys have emerged as the new contestant for Asomugha's services.

The New York Jets have reportedly contacted OT Damien Woody, hoping to bring him back. Woody, who earlier stated that he would play either for the Gang Green or retire, suffered a torn achilles tendon in the playoffs against the Colts. He was then placed on injured reserve and later released. The Jets don't currently have a replacement for Woody, so bringing him back would be essential for the Jets O-line to remain one of the best in the league.
The season full of promises and expectations ended last night for the New York Jets, as their attempt to come back in the second half against the Pittsburgh Steelers fell just a little too short. After totally forgetting to show up on defense in the first half, the Gang Green desperately tried to salvage their campaign but 24-point deficit was simply too much to overcome. The Jets fought back admirably but you just don't win championships without playing all four quarters on a regular basis. They did so last week against New England and won. They failed to do so last night against the Steelers, and well the season is now over along with all the high expectations to finally end the 42-year drought.
The Gang Green will look to rebound this Sunday on the road against the Detroit Lions (2-5). The team is pretty much healthy, as they have only four players on their final injury report. CB Darrelle Revis, LB David Harris, S Brodney Pool and LB Calvin Pace are all listed as probable and will suit up on Sunday. Harris missed practice on Wednesday after injuring his back while lifting weights earlier in the week. Pool was limited yesterday after colliding with Revis.
The New York Jets are basically healthy and ready to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, as they have only 3 players on their final injury report. CB Darrelle Revis, who has been fighting his hamstring injury for the last few weeks, is believed to be finally 100%. C Nick Mangold is also probable, as well as LB Calvin Pace. Pace is the only player in this trio who has not fully participated in practice sessions all week. He was limited on Wednesday, but then fully participated on Thursday and Friday.

The New York Jets signed DE Trevor Pryce, who was waived on Wednesday by the Baltimore Ravens, to a 1-year deal. Pryce ranks third in sacks among active players but has only one tackle this season. The 35-year-old has not started any of Baltimore's three games. Pryce started his career in Denver where he spent the first 9 seasons. He joined the Ravens in 2006 and recorded 13.0 sacks in that season.

WR Laveranues Coles was released by the Jets earlier today and it looks like his career is pretty much over. By not putting him on the opening-day roster, the Gang Green will avoid having to pay his entire base salary -- $855,000. They can re-sign him and pay him on a game-to-game basis -- $50,294. Coles, however, does not need the money and will most likely retire. From the day he re-signed with the Jets, a few days before training camp, Coles made it clear this was going to be his last stop. The Jets trimmed their roster to 75 players, and Coles, in his third stint with the team, was one of the victims.

Earlier today LB/DE Jason Taylor was given a tour of the Jets facility and introduced to some of his potential teammates. LB Calvin Pace and DE Shaun Ellis both expressed their desire to see Taylor as in green and white. "I think it’s be good for us," Pace said. "It's always good to add another body to the mix. His track record speaks for itself so it’s positive."

QB Mark Sanchez practiced again with the first team this morning. He looked fine, showing no signs of the injury that sidelined him last week against Tampa Bay. Head coach Rex Ryan once again did not name Sanchez as the starter for Sunday's game against Atlanta but said that he was optimistic about the rookie's chances to return to the lineup.

The Gang Green got back on track yesterday, as they shut out the Oakland Raiders in Oakland, 38-0. For the second week in a row the Jets ran for over 300 yards, becoming the first team to accomplish that in 35 years. Rookie RB Shonn Greene, who replaced injured RB Leon Washington, ran for 144 yards on 19 carries, 2 TDs and should be a candidate for the Offensive Rookie of the Week. RB Thomas Jones added 121 yards on 26 carries, 1 TD. QB Mark Sanchez rebounded after his awful performance last week against the Bills. He did not put up Peyton Manning-like numbers, but played a mistake free game, finishing 9 of 15 for 143 yards, 1 TD. Sanchez also scored a rushing touchdown in the first quarter.

What an embarrassing loss! One of the most disgusting losses in recent memory... Just when we, Jets fans, began believing in Rex Ryan's defense, they produced a total stinker in Miami, losing 27-31 to the Dolphins. No, it wasn't QB Mark Sanchez making mistakes that cost us this game, it wasn't fumbles or interceptions, it was the heralded Jets' defense that, we thought, was one of the best in the league. Boy, were we wrong! This defense got manhandled by Miami's wildcat offense and their 2nd year quarterback with basically no pro experience.
According to head coach Rex Ryan, there are about six spots still up for grabs on the projected 53-man roster that every NFL team must finalize by 4 PM EST this Saturday. The Jets currently have 75 players on their roster and will have to cut 20 of them to comply with the league's rules (the Jets will be allowed to carry two players over the limit due to the upcoming suspensions for LB Calvin Pace and DE Shaun Ellis). Once these cuts are finalized, the Gang Green will be able to put 8 players on their practice squad.

Later today, by 4pm to be precise, all NFL teams will be required to cut down their rosters sizes to 75 players. Then, the really big purge will come on September 5th, when all teams will be required to trim their rosters down to 53 players. The New York Jets currently have 75 players on their roster, so don't expect any cuts today. 22 players, however, will be gone before this week is over.

DE Shaun Ellis has been suspended without pay for the season opener and fined $100,000 by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy. So, the Gang Green will be missing two starters due to suspensions when the season begins on September 13th. LB Calvin Pace will be serving a 4-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. DE Mike DeVito and LB Vernon Gholston are expected to replace Ellis and Pace in the starting lineup.
LB Calvin Pace has been suspended for the first four games of the 2009 NFL regular season for violating the league's performance-enhancing substance policy. He will be eligible to return for the Monday night game against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5.

QB Brett Favre was selected as the AFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 4 of the 2008 NFL Regular Season.In his 257th consecutive start as an NFL quarterback, Favre posted a career-high six touchdown passes as the Jets defeated the Arizona Cardinals 56-35. He completed 24 of 34 passes (70.6 percent) for 289 yards with six touchdowns versus one interception and a 123.7 passer rating. Favre’s six touchdown passes tie Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Namath (6 at Baltimore Colts on 9/24/72) for most touchdowns by a Jets quarterback.
