According to various reports, QB Greg McEloy, who suffered a thumb injury in last night's preseason finale against the Philadelphia Eagles, underwent surgery earlier today. He's expected to be out for at least several weeks. QB Drew Willy replaced him yesterday and performed pretty well. The Jets will reportedly release Willy and then try to put him on the practice squad.

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.

The New York Jets released two quarterbacks earlier this morning - QB Mark Brunell and QB Kevin O'Connell. O'Connell was scheduled to make $480K this year. Brunell was due to make $1.25M this season. Brunell is expected to be signed back once the situation with CB Nnamdi Asomugha is resolved. By cutting Brunell now the Gang Green will save about $250K.
Having lost all faith in QB Kellen Clemens' ability to be a solid backup to QB Mark Sanchez, the New York Jets signed QB Mark Brunell, a 39-year veteran who spent his best years with the Jaguars and the Redskins. Last two seasons Brunell served as Drew Brees' backup with the Saints where he won the Super Bowl last year.
