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?
The New York Jets traded WR Derrick Mason to the Houston Texans for a conditional 7th round draft pick. Mason, who was signed as a free agent to replace WR Jerricho Cotchery, was one of the three Jets offensive players who supposedly went to Rex Ryan to voice his displeasure with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. As a result, Mason saw limited action against the Patriots on Sunday and was replaced by rookie WR Jeremy Kerley as #3 wide receiver. Kerley played well, catching 3 passes for 35 yards, including the first touchdown of his NFL career.

August 6, 2011Derrick Mason Chooses Jets
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
After a couple of days of deliberating between the Jets, Titans and Ravens, WR Derrick Mason chose to sign with the Gang Green. Mason, 37, who hasn't missed a game since 2002, will join WR Santonio Holmes and WR Plaxico Burress as the team's top 3 wide receivers. He was cut last week by the Ravens who wanted him back at a reduced price, but Mason decided to join Rex Ryan whom he knows since their days in Baltimore.
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.

According to an AP report, hard-hitting S James Ihedigbo, who mostly played on special teams and is currently a free agent, will not be back with the Jets this season. Ihedigbo has been with the Jets since 2007, when they signed him as an undrafted free agent. He was a key contributor as a backup in Rex Ryan's secondary, setting a career high with 3.0 sacks last season, and was second on the Jets with 27 special teams tackles.

The New York Jets signed free agent WR Derrick Mason who was released last week by the Baltimore Ravens. Mason, 37, caught 61 passes for 802 yards and 7 touchdowns last season. In order to free up a roster spot for Mason, the Gang Green released WR Jerricho Cotchery. Cotchery, 29, spent his entire career with the Jets. Last season was the worst one of his 8-year career, as he was plagued by injuries and caught just 41 passes for 433 yards, 2 TDs. Cotchery started this training camp on the PUP list, as he was still recovering from offseason surgery.

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, 2011Brodney Pool Is Back, Jets Target Derrick Mason
posted by: Site Admin | 0 comments | Jets Free Agent Signings
The New York Jets re-signed another member of last year's secondary - S Brodney Pool, who started in 12 regular games last season and in all 3 playoff games. Last year Pool, 27, registered 53 tackles (39 solo), 1 sack, 1 interception and defended 11 passes. The Dallas Cowboys showed late interest in Pool, which may have motivated the Jets to get a deal done. So, the Gang Green quickly signed him to a 1-year deal. Pool got off to a slow start last season as he learned a new system, but he improved late in the year.
