According to various source, the Jets are going to release WR David Clowney and WR Patrick Turner to make room for WR Santonio Holmes and DT Howard Green. Holmes, who was suspended for the first four games of regular season, is expected to make the evolving Jets passing game even more dangerous. He's a proven deep threat and basically impossible to cover in the slot. Green, who was released last week to make room for DE Trevor Pryce, will be re-signed.

The New York Jets signed NT Howard Green to fill in NT Kris Jenkins' spot on the roster. Jenkins, who suffered a season ending injury on Monday against Baltimore, will be replaced in the starting lineup by DT Sione Pouha, while Green will serve as Pouha's backup. According to various sources, Green signed a 2-year contract.
According to ESPN.com, the New York Jets released CB Lito Sheppard, who was signed as a free agent before the last season. Sheppard was due a $10M roster bonus, so this move was pretty much expected, considering that Sheppard had a subpar season at best.

The New York Jets defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the final preseason game of the year, 38-27. The starters played only one series and while the offense impressed with a touchdown drive, the defense clearly struggled as they gave up six points. QB Mark Sanchez was a perfect 5 of 5 for 67 yards and a touchdown to WR Jerricho Cotchery. Keep in mind though that this was against a "vanilla" defense, which wasn't as aggressive as if this was a regular season game.
