WR Santonio Holmes will stay with the Gang Green after agreeing to restructure his contract. He signed a $50M deal with the team back in July of 2011 with $24 million guaranteed. Holmes was slated to make $7.5M guaranteed in the upcoming season, but there was an offset language in the deal. Even if the Jets had cut him, Holmes would not be able to "double dip" and earn a contract from both the Jets and whatever team picked him up. The terms of his new deal have not been announced.

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 various reports, the New York Jets released S Emanuel Cook earlier today. S Tracy Wilson will be elevated from practice squad to take Cook's place on the active roster. Cook was signed by the Jets as an undrafted free agent in 2009 and released before the start of the 2009 season. He was then briefly signed in 2010 and released again. Later that year Cook was re-signed by the Jets to a 3-year deal following the injury to safety S Jim Leonhard. Cook received no signing bonus, so his release won't cost the Jets anything in the future.

QB Kellen Clemens (right elbow), DE Mike Devito (hamstring), RB Shonn Greene (rib), LB Bryan Thomas (ankle), LB Jamaal Westerman (quadricep) are listed as probable.
With less than 48 hours left until the season opener, the Jets currently have 6 players on their injured list. DE Mike DeVito is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury. He's been limited in practice the last two days. QB Kellen Clemens (elbow), RB Shonn Greene (ribs), LB Bryan Thomas (ankle), WR Wallace Wright (knee) are all listed as probable and have fully participated in practice sessions this week. TE Dustin Keller was added to the injury list with a toe problem, but practiced and should be ready to go on Sunday. Also, if you follow Keller's updates on twitter (or the feed we have on this website), he is going to the Yankee game tonight (if the rain stops) along with QB Mark Sanchez and S Kerry Rhodes. So, apparently his toe is not bothering him that much.

The new era in the history of the New York Jets will begin on Sunday when rookie head coach Rex Ryan and rookie QB Mark Sanchez will lead the team against the Houston Texans. The Gang Green are 4.5 to 5 point underdogs, facing a team that's expected to make the playoffs for the first time in their history. Ryan is one of nine rookie head coaches this season. Mark Sanchez will become the first Jets rookie quarterback to start since Matt Robinson started on November 13, 1977 against the Seattle Seahawks. The New York Jets have gone 491 consecutive games without starting a rookie quarterback, the longest current streak in the NFL. Robinson started just one game in 1977 - a 20-23 loss to the Steelers where he went 7 of 19 for 80 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT.
