C Nick Mangold, a 7-time Pro Bowler and 2-time First Team All-Pro, has announced that he's officially retires from the NFL. Mangold, 34, was the cornerstone of the Jets' offensive line for 11 years after being drafted at #29 overall in 2006.
It's truly the end of an era. The New York Jets released C Nick Mangold earlier today, putting an end to his 11-year career with the Gang Green. Mangold, 33, was drafted in the 1st round of the 2006 draft at #29 overall, and later arguably became the best center in the league for a number of seasons. He's a 7-time Pro Bowler and a 2-time First team All-Pro.
C Nick Mangold's career with the Jets might be over, as the Gang Green placed the 11-year veteran on injured reserve, ending his season. Mangold, 32, is due to receive nearly $9.1M next year ($6.1M base and $3M in bonuses), quite a substantial amount for the once best center in the league.

Three players of the New York Jets made this season's Pro Bowl roster: CB Darrelle Revis, DE Muhammad Wilkerson and WR Brandon Marshall. C Nick Mangold and RB Chris Ivory are first alternates.
C Nick Mangold became the only Jet selected to the Pro Bowl this season. It's his 6th Pro Bowl selection in the last seven seasons. Mangold is now tied with C Kevin Mawae, who started in six consecutive Pro Bowls as a Jet. OT Winston Hill was selected eight times from 1964-73.
There has always been heavy scrutiny that comes with being a starting quarterback in New York whether it be for the New York Jets or New York Giants. In this weekly breakdown we will take a look at the play by play progress by Geno Smith and how he fairs as one of these scrutinized New York quarterback. Each play that Geno was extensively involved in in this game is highlighted, the good, the bad and the ugly.

The Gang Green's offensive line was considered to be one of the best in the league just a few years ago. The unit that featured once a perennial Pro Bowler C Nick Mangold and his fellow first round draft pick OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson was young and fearsome, capable of both pass protecting and run blocking.

CB Antonio Cromartie and S LaRon Landry will represent the New York Jets at the Pro Bowl, as they both made the AFC squad as backups. Following the season-ending injury to CB Darrelle Revis, Cromartie became the Jets' premier shutdown corner and has performed admirably. He's defended 13 passes, intercepted 3 and returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown so far this season.

Before the 2011 Jets ride off into the sunset, with their oversized hero Coach Ryan vaulted high on their shoulder — the same coach who will ironically claim to carry the team’s future on his own shoulders —allow me to speak for all of the wounded he has left on the field.
CB Darrelle Revis became the only Jet this season to be selected to the annual All-Pro team. Revis received 48 votes, 2 votes shy from being a unanimous pick. This is Revis' third straight All-Pro selection.

RB/KR Joe McKnight was named the AFC's Special Teams Player of the Month for October. He returned 11 kickoffs for 443 yards for the month, including a 107-yard kickoff-return touchdown against the Ravens, which was also the longest play in Jets' history. McKnight’s 40.3 kickoff return average in October was the highest in the NFL. In his second season from USC, this is McKnight’s first career Player of the Month Award. He joins KR Justin Miller (October of 2006), KR Brad Smith (December of 2010) and P Tom Tupa (November of 1999) as the only Jets to earn Special Teams Player of the Month honors.

This was another must win for the Gang Green and they delivered again, overcoming an 11-point deficit and rediscovering their running game en route to a 27-21 win against the San Diego Chargers. WR Plaxico Burress also rediscovered his touchdown catching abilities, scoring three times for the second time in his career. RB Shonn Greene finally ran for over 100 yards and the defense finally looked like it should have all season.

DE Mike DeVito will be a game-time decision tomorrow after he suffered a knee injury in Thursday practice session.

Payne, who missed every game this season, was finally placed on the injured reserve and replaced by DT Martin Tevaseu on the 53-man roster.

CB Darrelle Revis' brilliant performance against the Miami Dolphins did not go unnoticed, as the All-Pro cornerback was named the AFC Defensive Player of Week 6. Revis recorded three tackles, four passes defensed and tied a career-high with two interceptions, including a 100-yard interception-return touchdown in the Jets' 24-6 win over the Dolphins. His 100-yard interception-return touchdown tied for the longest interception returned for a touchdown in team history (CB Aaron Glenn also had a 100-yard return on September 15, 1996). This was the third game of his career with two interceptions and the Jets are 3-0 in such contests. In his fifth season from Pittsburgh, this is Revis' second career Defensive Player of the Week Award. He previously won the award in 2009 (Week 12).

Just like a week ago, despite playing pretty poorly, the Jets still had a chance at the end. Just like a week ago, the Gang Green blew it. This time, however, it wasn't QB Mark Sanchez who gave this chance away. It was Rex Ryan's heralded defense that simply could not make a stop when they had to. They didn't even have to stop Tom Brady and New England's high-powered passing attack, as the Patriots just kept running, easily gaining 5-6 yards on almost every carry. The Ravens did exactly the same in the final quarter a week ago and they were as successful. Can't stop a nose bleed, Bart Scott?
All-Pro C Nick Mangold is active and will start today against the New England Patriots. The Jets' inactives are RB Bilal Powell, C Colin Baxter, DL Garrett McIntyre, TE Josh Baker, DL Kenrick Ellis, QB Kevin O'Connell and WR Logan Payne. Rookies Kenrick Ellis and Bilal Powell have been inactive in every game thus far.

150 total yards, 7 first downs, 3 lost fumbles (2 returned for touchdowns), 1 interception returned for a touchdown - these are the stats put up by the Jets' offense last night in Baltimore. The only positive is that it probably cannot get any worse than that, although you never know when it comes to the New York Jets.

All-Pro C Nick Mangold underwent an MRI this morning, which confirmed that he suffered a high ankle sprain and no additional damage. Mangold injured his ankle in the first quarter of Sunday's 32-3 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. As of now, there's no timetable for Mangold's return. The team will have to monitor the injury and see how it progresses. However, he's been ruled out for next game against the Oakland Raiders. He will most likely miss at least 2-3 games.

The New York Jets' defense came out on a mission this afternoon, after a shaky performance last week against the Cowboys, as they intercepted four passes and limited Jacksonville to just 203 total yards (112 rushing and 91 passing). The Gang Green crushed the Jaguars, 32-3, but lost All-Pro C Nick Mangold who suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter. Mangold is scheduled to have an MRI tomorrow, but it looks like he will miss a few weeks. Rookie OL Colin Baxter replaced Mangold and performed pretty well.

WR Plaxico Burress took the field for the first time in 3 years and instantly silenced his doubters tonight. Gang Green's risky free agent acquisition started opposite of WR Santonio Holmes and caught 3 passes for 66 yards, including a 26-yard touchdown pass from QB Mark Sanchez in the final minute of the first half. The Jets went to Burress right from the start, as Sanchez connected with him on the first play from scrimmage for 20 yards.

OL Rob Turner broke his right leg in last night's preseason loss against the Houston Texans and will require surgery. Turner is a versatile player who can play basically every position on the offensive line, as well as tight end. He's expected to miss 8-10 weeks. The Jets now have pretty much no solid reliable back-ups on their offensive line and will definitely be in the market for more free agent help.

All-Pro C Nick Mangold suffered a stinger during yeseterday's practice session and is day-to-day. He said he expected to play in preseason opener against the Texans on Monday. During the live, goal-line portion of practice, Mangold fell to the ground after a play in which RB Shonn Greene dove over the top of the pile. He was down on hands and knees for a couple of minutes but then walked off the field under his own power.

This is the third straight Pro Bowl selection for both Mangold and Revis. It's the second straight for Ferguson, who was originally an alternate in 2010 but added to the roster later.
The New York Jets are basically healthy and ready to face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, as they have only 3 players on their final injury report. CB Darrelle Revis, who has been fighting his hamstring injury for the last few weeks, is believed to be finally 100%. C Nick Mangold is also probable, as well as LB Calvin Pace. Pace is the only player in this trio who has not fully participated in practice sessions all week. He was limited on Wednesday, but then fully participated on Thursday and Friday.
CB Darrelle Revis (hamstring), OT Wayne Hunter (shin) and LB Jamaal Westerman (ankle) did not practice all week and will miss Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

According to the Star Ledger, CB Darrelle Revis and C Nick Mangold will probably have to wait until the 2010 season is over before they receive their contract extensions. Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum met with the representatives of both players at the NFL Scouting Combine, but a new deal isn't imminent for either player, according to two people with knowledge of the talks who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they're not authorized to speak publicly.
The Jets and WR Braylon Edwards are still far apart on contract talks, as the wide receiver wants a long term deal, while the Gang Green want to see Edwards to dedicate himself to the team’s offseason program and become more consistent in 2010. Edwards, who had 6 drops in regular season, caught 35 passes for 541 yards and 4 TDs in 12 games with the Jets. He is a restricted free agent and the club is expected to give him a 1-year tender offer of slightly more than $5M.

CB Darrelle Revis and C Nick Mangold made the 2009 NFL All-Pro team. LB David Harris was selected to the second NFL All-Pro team. While Tennessee RB Chris Johnson was the only player to make the first team unanimously (50 votes), Revis received 48 of 50 votes and is in the first team along with Packers CB Charles Woodson. Mangold's All-Pro selection basically means that the Jets have the best center in the entire league.
