After trading CB Darrelle Revis a few days ago to Tampa Bay, the New York Jets didn't waste time finding his potential replacement. The Gang Green selected CB DeMarcus "Dee" Milliner from Alabama at #9 overall. Milliner, 6', 201 lbs, has both size and speed (4.37) to defend against NFL receivers.
The new rebuilding era for the New York Jets has officially begun, as the team traded their best player, CB Darrelle Revis, to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Gang Green will receive Tampa Bay's first round pick (#13 overall) in this year's draft and a fourth round selection in the 2014 draft. The 2014 pick could become a third-rounder if Revis is on Tampa Bay's roster on the third day of the 2014 league year. Revis subsequently signed a 6-year $96M deal with the Bucs.
Christmas could be coming early this year for Jets fans, as according to ProFootballTalk, the New York Jets are in discussions to trade QB Mark Sanchez to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The first round bust signal caller could be part of the package that would also send CB Darrelle Revis to the Bucs in exchange for multiple draft picks.

PK Nick Folk is back with the New York Jets for at least another season. Folk, who was an unrestricted free agent, was re-signed to a 1-year deal. Folk joined the Jets in 2010 after spending the first three years of his NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys. Last season he converted 21 of 27 field goal attempts, which was his highest percentage since joining the Gang Green.

The New York Jets released NT Sione Po'uha this morning, clearing up an additional $3.83M of salary cap space. Pouha, who signed a 3-year deal before the 2012 season, was due to have his $4.9M base salary become fully guaranteed on March 15. This move most likely means that the Jets are going to re-sign DL Mike DeVito and move him into Po'uha's position.
According to a report from CBS Sports, the New York Jets will explore options to trade CB Darrelle Revis this offseason. Revis, who has one year left on his contract, will be most likely be demanding the biggest contract for a cornerback in the league, which is something that the Jets just cannot afford. So, the Gang Green will try to get value for Revis now rather than risk losing him as an unrestricted free agent in 2014. There's a clause in Revis' contract that does not allow the Jets to franchise him, so the Jets will either have to re-sign him (mission impossible) or get as much value for him as they can.
It took almost three weeks but the search for general manager is finally over, as the New York Jets picked former Seattle Seahawks VP of football administration John Idzik to replace Mike Tannenbaum as GM. This is a somewhat questionable move by the Gang Green, as they selected yet another executive, pretty much a Tannenbaum clone, instead of going for a football personnel guy.

He's defended 13 passes, intercepted 3 and returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown so far this season.

In the end the New York Jets pulled out an overtime win in Miami, 23-20, unfortunately that was the only positive they could take out of this game.

This wasn't just another must win game with a playoff berth on the line, but another must win game against the cross-town rivals, the New York Giants, whose season also depended on the outcome of this contest. All the hype, pressure, trashtalking, big expectations in what was probably the biggest, most anticipated game of the season - they lost it, just like many Jets teams before them. These were the Same Old Jets all over again. The Same Old Jets that comfortably led two AFC Championship Games, among many other must-wins, only to find another way to lose.

This week the Jets are traveling to the City of Brotherly Love to play the 5-8 Philadelphia Eagles with a clear objective - win and stay in front of the race for the final Wild Card spot. To achieve this objective the Jets must try and stop one of the league’s most potent offenses. The Eagles have dealt with injuries to their star quarterback, injuries to their receiving core and a bout with diva wide receiver. At times they have shown their potential to be an explosive offense gaining over 400 yards in 7 games this season. But frequently they have shown to be ineffective and mistake prone – ranking 30th in turnover ratio and last in the NFL in INTs thrown.

QB Mark Sanchez threw a career-high four touchdown passes, including the winning score to WR Santonio Holmes, as he overcame his second quarter interception and led the Gang Green to a 28-24 comeback win against the Buffalo Bills. Sanchez might have been erratic at times, throwing into double and triple coverage, but when the game was on the line, he pulled himself together and orchestrated a 12-play game-winning drive that went for 77 yards. This was surely a morale booster for the Jets' signal caller that hopefully will help the Gang Green turn this season around, as they pretty much have to win all of their remaining games.

RB LaDainian Tomlinson and WR Jeremy Kerley both missed an entire week of practice and are listed as questionable for tomorrow's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Tomlinson suffered his injury late in the Patriots game. He did not make the trip to Denver for last week's game.

LB David Harris was named AFC Defensive Player of Week 9. Last Sunday he registered five tackles, one interception and one pass defensed in the Jets’ 27-11 win at Buffalo. Harris registered his second interception of the season and the fourth of his career when he picked off QB Ryan Fitzpatrick in the second quarter at the Jets’ 49-yard line. In his fifth season from Michigan, this is Harris’ second career Defensive Player of the Week Award. Harris previously won the award in 2009 (Week 1).

CB Darrelle Revis' brilliant performance against the Miami Dolphins did not go unnoticed, as the All-Pro cornerback was named the AFC Defensive Player of Week 6. Revis recorded three tackles, four passes defensed and tied a career-high with two interceptions, including a 100-yard interception-return touchdown in the Jets' 24-6 win over the Dolphins. His 100-yard interception-return touchdown tied for the longest interception returned for a touchdown in team history (CB Aaron Glenn also had a 100-yard return on September 15, 1996). This was the third game of his career with two interceptions and the Jets are 3-0 in such contests. In his fifth season from Pittsburgh, this is Revis' second career Defensive Player of the Week Award. He previously won the award in 2009 (Week 12).

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.

This was definitely a season opener to remember, as the New York Jets snatched an improbable 27-24 win against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night after trailing by 14 points in the final quarter. First, WR Plaxico Burress, who had zero catches in the first half, caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from QB Mark Sanchez, cutting Dallas' lead to 7. Then, RB Joe McKnight blocked a punt that was taken back for a touchdown by СB Isaiah Trufant, tying the game. Finally, PK Nick Folk, a former Cowboy, booted a 50-yard field goal to win the game for New York on such an emotional day that marked the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.

The New York Jets conducted their first open practice session on Tuesday, drawing a crowd of almost 3,000 people. Because of the post lockout rules the players did not have pads on, while all recent free agent signings did not participate in the drills at all. This meant that both starting wide receivers, WR Santonio Holmes and WR Plaxico Burress, were out. Burress spent quite some time talking to Tom Moore, who was recently signed as a consultant. Holmes, on the other hand, seemed pretty bored most of the time. WR Jerricho Cotchery did not suit up either, as he's still recovering from last season't injury.

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 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.

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.
According to various reports, CB Darrelle Revis, who returned to the Jets' starting lineup last night after missing two games, will most likely miss at least 2 weeks due to the same hamstring injury. This means that we will not see Revis on the field until after bye week when the Gang Green hosts the Green Bay Packers.

Revis' original contract voids after the 2010 season, the Gang Green can buy back the 2011 and 2012 seasons for $5M and $15M, respectively - and that money is guaranteed. However, if Revis holds out, he will lose the guaranteed money, giving the Jets some leverage in negotiating a new deal.

The battle of unbeatens will unfold tomorrow afternoon in New Orleans, as the New York Jets (3-0) will take on the New Orleans Saints (3-0). Additionally, this will also be a matchup between arguably the best offense in the NFL and one of the best defensive units. The Jets have held opposing QBs to a 50.2 passer rating (2nd in the NFL) and a 47.9 completion percentage, best in the NFL. New Orleans QB Drew Brees leads the NFL with 118.1 passer rating and is second in the NFL in completion percentage (69.1). The Jets's defense that ranks 3rd in the NFL (256.0 yards/game) and second in points allowed (11.0 points/game) will face the Saints' offense that leads the NFL in total yards (438.0 yards/game) and scoring (40.0 points/game).
As we reported earlier today, CB Lito Sheppard (quad), CB Donald Strickland (ankle) and S Jim Leonhard (knee) did not practice this morning. Now it appears that both CB Darrelle Revis (hamstring) and S Kerry Rhodes (knee) were added to the injury report as well and limited in practice this morning. So, basically the entire Jets' secondary is now on the injury report (4 starters and the nickel back).

"I think so. Who do we have to beat?" was Rex Ryan's answer on ESPN 1050 when asked if the New York Jets were an elite team. The Jets are 2-0 after beating the New England Patriots on Sunday and suddenly on the radar of all media "experts", most of whom predicted the Gang Green to finish last in AFC East. Ryan did not stop there, however, as he added that the Jets won the Super Bowl in his dad's first year as a coach in New York, and so maybe the Gang Green just needed a Ryan on their coaching staff to return to Super Bowl glory.
CB Darrelle Revis, who shut down WR Andre Johnson and WR Randy Moss in consecutive weeks, is among Sunday's five most valuable players on Yahoo Sports. "He’s in my top three corners in the NFL", said former All Pro Deion Sanders, and added that "all who are listening and watching please take the Jets seriously."

The Jets' defense dominated for the second week in a row, as the Gang Green backed up their brash statements and defeated the New England Patriots, 16-9. The Jets also snapped an 8-game home losing streak against New England, stopped Tom Brady's game winning streak at 21 games, and extended their own streak of not allowing a touchdown to two games. The Gang Green are 2-0 for the first time since 2004 when they started the season 5-0 under head coach Herman Edwards.

Rex Ryan's heralded defense and rookie QB Mark Sanchez both made their debuts yesterday against the Houston Texans and both passed the first test. The new aggressive defense was able to completely shut down the Texans' offense that was ranked 3rd in the league last season. Mark Sanchez, meanwhile, did not play like a rookie at all. The 22-year old kid from USC showed great pocket awareness and composure. He was especially effective on third downs, and his ability to buy time with his feet is another thing that we haven't seen from a Jets quarterback in quite some time.

The New York Jets will open their season tomorrow when they take on the Houston Texans, a team that hasn't had a winning season in their seven years in the NFL. The Texans, however, finished 8-8 in both of the last two seasons and are projected to finally have a breakthrough season with a possible playoff berth. The Jets go into the game as 5-point underdogs, as they will face a formidable opponent who has won their last 3 home games and is 12-4 in home games over the last two seasons. Last season the Texans were ranked 3rd in total offense (4th in passing, 4th in rushing).

QB Mark Sanchez is running the starting offense this morning, while QB Kellen Clemens is with the second team. It sure looks like the rookie has impressed Jets' coaching stuff enough to push himself into the starting lineup.

QB Kellen Clemens came out swinging in this morning's practice session, as he tried to rebound from his abysmal performances of late. On the second play from scrimmage in 11-on-11 drills Clemens threw a perfect play action strike to TE Dustin Keller who was all alone on the left side of the field.
The New York Jets opened 2009 Training Camp this morning on the grounds of SUNY Cortland in Upstate New York. Despite the nasty rainy weather, hundreds of fans gathered to watch the first practice under the guidance of new head coach Rex Ryan.

According to ESPN, CB Ty Law agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Jets on Monday and is set to play Thursday night against the Patriots. Ty Law, five-time Pro Bowler, spent the 2005 season with the Jets, intercepting career-high 10 passes.
Following two subpar performances in the previous couple of weeks, the New York Jets stepped up to the plate as they faced the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills. This was a "make it or break it game" and the Gang Green passed the test, beating one of their archrivals 26-17. This win put the Jets in a 3-team tie with the Bills and the Patriots, but with the best division record the Gang Green are in the first place.
