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 Gang Green reched a contract agreement with their first round draft pick (#30 overall), DE Muhammad Wilkerson. The deal is $7.4M for 4 years, which includes a $3.9M signing bonus. The first three years of contract are guaranteed.
The New York Jets have declared DL Jamaal Westerman, SS James Ihedigbo, TE Jeff Cumberland, QB Kellen Clemens, DL Marcus Dixon, CB Marquice Cole, TE Matthew Mulligan, OG Vlad Ducasse inactive for Week 14. QB Kellen Clemens is #3 emergency quarterback.
S James Ihedigbo, who got injured last Monday against the New England Patriots, is out for Sunday's game against Miami after missing practice all week. OT Damien Woody hasn't practiced this week either, but is expected to play. He's listed as questionable. Seven players are listed as probable, even though all of them fully participated in the practice session earlier today and are definitely expected to play.
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.
