| Mark Sanchez - QB |
Posted 5/24/13 12:32am et |
| An anonymous New York Jets player said that the team is skeptical about QB Mark Sanchez and his ability to be successful. 'Everyone on the team likes Mark personally, but there's a general feeling among some of the players that maybe it's time to give someone else a chance.' The player said 80 to 90 percent of the roster agrees with that statement. Sanchez is still trying to figure out the team's new West Coast offense. |
Huddle Up: Biting words but still anonymous words. In any case, though, the statement does indicate just how bright the spotlight is on Sanchez, who hit 3-year lows in passing yards (2,883) and TD passes (13) last season.

| Mark Sanchez - QB |
Posted 5/23/13 12:11am et |
| New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he was disappointed with QB Mark Sanchez after he threw three interceptions during organized team activities Wednesday, May 22. "Yeah, it is. Absolutely. It's a good thing defense makes the plays, but no, I'd rather him not turn the ball over once," Ryan said. "He did a lot of great things, and then those negative things, at the end of the day, that's what gets you beat. And so we got to do a better job of eliminating those turnovers." |
Huddle Up: Disappointing performances are pretty much the norm for Sanchez. It would have been a great opportunity for Geno Smith to take hold of the starting gig, but he completed just three of 10 passes with an interception.
|
| Geno Smith - QB |
Posted 5/22/13 12:54am et |
| New York Jets QBs Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith are expected to compete for the starting quarterback job this offseason, but the quarterback competition could be settled well before the team even heads to training camp in July. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg wants one of the two QBs to separate himself from the other, and if that happens this week, the team isn't against naming their starter early. 'Common sense tells you that you hope it's quick, but this is going to be a full blown competition. Period,' Mornhinweg said. Sanchez, because of his experience, has the advantage to take control of the early competition. Smith, who spent much of his college days in shotgun, is spending a ton of time taking snaps from under center during OTAs with quarterbacks coach David Lee. Mornhinweg knows that the longer their QB competition lasts, the less time the winner will have to work with the first-team offense. The team also won't just name a starter to name a starter; it want a clear winner in the competition. |
Huddle Up: If the Jets do name an early starter, it almost certainly will be Sanchez, who has 62 NFL starts in 4 years under his belt. No matter who's the starter, though, it promises to be anything but a season of smooth sailing which, of course, means plenty of fans and media types calling for the backup.

| Mike Goodson - RB |
Posted 5/20/13 3:57pm et |
| New York Jets RB Mike Goodson was in attendance at the team's first OTA practice Monday, May 20, but only to meet with team officials following his arrest on drug and weapons charges last week. Goodson didn't participate or watch the team's workouts, and his future with the team is uncertain. If Goodson pleads guilty or is convicted of unlawful possession of a handgun, he'll be subject to the Graves Act, which is a New Jersey law that carries a minimum of three years in jail. |
Huddle Up: Joe McKnight becomes the primary backup to Chris Ivory, while Goodson should be more concerned about staying out of jail than how many carries he'll get with the Jets.
|
| Mike Goodson - RB |
Posted 5/19/13 4:28pm et |
| New York Jets OG Willie Colon said he does not think RB Mike Goodson will remain with the team after being arrested earlier this week on drug and weapons charges. 'It's one of the things where it's zero-tolerance with stuff like that,' Colon said. 'It's sad. Mike could have been huge for us.' |
Huddle Up: It remains to be seen if Goodson's run with the Jets is over before it really began, but in any case, the news is a boon for the fantasy stock of Chris Ivory, another offseason RB addition for the squad.
|
| Mike Goodson - RB |
Posted 5/17/13 2:55pm et |
| New York Jets RB Mike Goodson was arrested Friday, May 17, and charged with possession of marijuana under 50 grams, possession of paraphernalia, unlawful possession of a loaded handgun and possession of a hollow-point bullet. Goodson was being held on $50,000 full cash bail. |
Huddle Up: You can bet Goodson has earned himself a sit-down with Roger Goodell, as well as a likely suspension. And that's a best-case scenario; the Jets could flat-out release him, and he could be up for the Burt Reynolds or Adam Sandler role in yet another remake of "The Longest Yard."
|
| Mark Sanchez - QB |
Posted 5/16/13 12:40pm et |
| New York Jets starting QB Mark Sanchez should have an edge on the starting quarterback job over rookie QB Geno Smith after David Garrard's decision to retire, according to former head coach Herm Edwards. 'This is now Mark Sanchez's job to lose,' Edwards said. |
Huddle Up: The once-booming Jets QB circus is now down to a couple rings with the release of Tim Tebow and Garrard's decision to retire on Wednesday. Sure the incumbent Sanchez is the odds-on favorite to beat out the second-round pick Smith, but even if he does, it's only going to take a couple of Sanchez turnovers in MetLife Stadium before the calls for the rook hit a fever pitch.
|
| Geno Smith - QB |
Posted 5/13/13 11:19am et |
| The New York Jets are "smitten" with rookie QB Geno Smith, and it's beginning to look more likely that the starting job is his to lose. |
Huddle Up: The Jets aren't exactly stacked at quarterback, so for their second-round selection to make a push for the starting job shouldn't be unexpected. Adjust your fantasy rankings of Smith and Mark Sanchez accordingly, assuming your board goes that deep.
|
| Joe McKnight - RB |
Posted 5/9/13 12:54am et |
| New York Jets RB Joe McKnight's roster spot could be in jeopardy if the team decides to sign free-agent WR Joshua Cribbs because Cribbs could handle the kick return duties. The Jets also added RBs Chris Ivory and Mike Goodson this offseason. |
Huddle Up: McKnight definitely looks to be on the hot seat, and with Ivory and Goodson added he's lost what little fantasy value he was clinging to.
|
| Santonio Holmes - WR |
Posted 5/9/13 1:49pm et |
| New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes indicated he believes QB Mark Sanchez should be the team's starting quarterback at this point. "Right now, it's Sanchez, and that's who we're going with, and we're going to continue on this road until time permits," Holmes said. |
Huddle Up: Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but naturally Holmes is going to back the QB who's been throwing him the ball the past 3 seasons. Still, should rookie Geno Smith or veteran David Garrard emerge as the man, Holmes will have to quickly shift allegiances.
|
| David Garrard - QB |
Posted 5/7/13 12:15pm et |
| New York Jets QB David Garrard will have a legitimate opportunity to
compete for the team's starting quarterback job, and if he stays
healthy, may very well be the Week 1 starter, according to a rival
team executive. |
Huddle Up: Garrard, who hasn't taken a regular-season snap since 2010, is the
forgotten man in the Jets' new-look QB circus with the drafting of
Geno Smith and the headlines surrounding incumbent Mark Sanchez.
Garrard's path to starting likely would involve Sanchez's release
and Smith's obvious inexperience -- a scenario that really isn't too
far-fetched given the lofty numbers in Sanchez's contract and the
concerns surrounding Smith.
|
| Geno Smith - QB |
Posted 5/5/13 2:55pm et |
| According to a league source, at least one quarterback-needy team in the top 10 of the 2013 NFL Draft passed on New York Jets QB Geno Smith because of the diva attitude he displayed during a pre-draft visit. 'He's going to have a tough time in New York,' an anonymous NFC scout said Friday, May 3. 'Right now, he's coming off as a spoiled, pampered brat.' |
Huddle Up: After the slide into the second round and hearing all the doubters weigh in, Smith will take the first step toward proving the naysayers wrong in the Jets' 5-quarterback derby.
|
| Quinton Coples - DE |
Posted 5/3/13 4:05pm et |
| New York Jets LB Quinton Coples said he believes his switch to outside linebacker should allow him to make more plays in 2013. After weighing 290 pounds last year as a defensive end in a 3-4 scheme, Coples is down to 285 pounds and said he expects to play between 280-285 pounds this upcoming season. "I feel good," Coples said of the switch. "I think it's definitely going to open up more opportunities for me to get to the quarterback and also show my athleticism and drop into coverage." |
Huddle Up: More sacks is good news for Coples in IDP leagues, and for the Jets' defense in those fantasy leagues that use team defense.
|
| Mark Sanchez - QB |
Posted 5/2/13 1:09pm et |
| New York Jets general manager John Idzik said QB Mark Sanchez's $8.25 million salary will not be a factor when the team decides whether QB Mark Sanchez will be on the team this season. |
Huddle Up: The consensus is that if the Jets don't envision Sanchez starting, he'll be released. But also consider that the Jets just had to eat the remaining money on Tim Tebow's contract after the QB was recently let go, and it's hard to believe that the franchise would allow so much money to be tied up in QBs not on the roster.
|
| Braylon Edwards - WR |
Posted 5/2/13 1:34pm et |
| New York Jets general manager John Idzik said the team could re-sign free-agent WR Braylon Edwards. |
Huddle Up: Aside from Santonio Holmes, who's coming off an injury, none of the 11 wideouts on the Jets' current roster has more than 2 years of NFL experience, so if there's any team that needs a veteran presence at WR it's Gang Green.
|
| Stephen Hill - WR |
Posted 5/2/13 9:28pm et |
| New York Jets WR Stephen Hill (knee) said he is fully recovered from the knee surgery he had in December. |
Huddle Up: Hill finished his injury-hampered rookie year with 21 catches for 252 yards and 3 TDs, and especially considering he had 5 receptions, 89 yards and 2 TDs in Week 1, the Jets are counting on much more out of the WR in Year 2.
|
| Tim Tebow - QB |
Posted 4/29/13 11:05am et |
| The New York Jets waived QB Tim Tebow. The Jets allowed Tebow to seek a trade in the offseason, and more than one team inquired about him, but he wasn't willing to play tight end. |
Huddle Up: At this juncture it will be tough for an NFL team to take a chance on adding Tebow as a quarterback, even though he's the only Heisman-winning quarterback in the past 25 years to win an NFL playoff game (stat of the day courtesy of The Dan Patrick Show). He may have to take his game north of the border a la Doug Flutie, or agree to switch positions.
|
| Chris Ivory - RB |
Posted 4/27/13 12:12am et |
| The New Orleans Saints traded RB Chris Ivory to the New York Jets for a fourth-round draft pick. The Jets are expected to sign the newly-acquired Ivory to a long-term contract, according to sources. |
Huddle Up: The Saints finally got the compensation they were looking for, and the Jets likely have their feature back. So much for Mike Goodson's mini-run as a sleeper candidate.
|
| Darrelle Revis - CB |
Posted 4/23/13 12:54pm et |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik said CB Darrelle Revis (knee) will be ready to start in Week 1. 'One hundred percent he'll be out there,' Dominik said. 'Everything's on the right track in fact. I'm confident he will walk out the first day of training camp with pads on and go do work, so we'll be smart with him.' |
Huddle Up: Dominik and the Bucs had to have confidence in Revis' knee, or it would've been a deal killer. In any case, no one really expects Revis will miss the Sept. 8 season opener against his former team, do they?
|
| Dustin Keller - TE |
Posted 4/23/13 12:54pm et |
| Miami Dolphins TE Dustin Keller said the biggest thing for him about joining the team was the opportunity to win. Keller said he noticed the team was bringing in high-character players. 'Once I got in the building, it was an easy decision for me,' Keller said. |
Huddle Up: Keller is eyeing a bounce-back season in his new locale. The TE hit career highs in 2011 with 65 catches for 815 yards and 5 TDs in 2011, but a troublesome ankle limited him to only 5 starts and a 28-317-2 campaign in 2012.
|
| Antonio Cromartie - CB |
Posted 4/21/13 4:54pm et |
| New York Jets CB Antonio Cromartie said he is not happy with the possible trade of CB Darrelle Revis because he was looking forward to playing with him next season. 'It's a disappointment,' Cromartie said. 'You look forward to playing with the best cornerback in the league. When you pair us to together, we felt like we had the best tandem. We had the best tandem. Now, he's leaving. You just got to roll with the punches.' |
Huddle Up: As they say, it's a business, and it appears Cromartie now will be the Jets' top dog at CB -- a position he generally acquitted himself well at following Revis' season-ending injury this past season.
|
| Darrelle Revis - CB |
Posted 4/21/13 4:54pm et |
| The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to the compensation in a trade with the New York Jets for CB Darrelle Revis (knee). Revis has to pass a physical before the trade can be finalized. According to various reports, the Jets would receive multiple draft picks, including the 13th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, from the Bucs. |
Huddle Up: It's still not officially official, but provided the CB's knee checks out OK, it looks like Revis Island will be relocating to the Sunshine State.
|
| Darrelle Revis - CB |
Posted 4/21/13 10:16pm et |
| The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have acquired CB Darrelle Revis from the New York
Jets after he passed his physical. The Jets will receive a 2013 first-round choice
(13th overall) and a conditional fourth-round draft choice in 2014. The conditional
pick will become a third-round pick if Revis is on the Buccaneers' roster on the
third day of the 2014 league year. Shortly after, Revis signed a 6-year, $96 million
deal with his new team. |
Huddle Up: The daily drama and Revis rumor mill officially came to an end Sunday, as the
Bucs finally made their move. Tampa did have to part with its first-round pick in
Thursday's draft, but a healthy Revis will be more than worth it to a team which
faces the likes of Julio Jones, Steve Smith, Roddy White and Marques Colston
twice a season and ranked second to last -- trailing only the defenseless Saints --
this past season in terms of the most fantasy points allowed to opposing WRs.
|
| Santonio Holmes - WR |
Posted 4/20/13 5:47pm et |
| New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes likely will be released next offseason because he is scheduled to count $10.75 million against the salary cut in 2014. He took a $3 million pay cut in order to remain with the team for the 2013 season. |
Huddle Up: That's a lot of money to pay a wideout when your quarterback has trouble getting him the ball. That Holmes is a short-timer could also impact what the Jets do in the draft, as this year's class is deep at the receiver position.
|
| Mark Sanchez - QB |
Posted 4/19/13 5:09pm et |
| New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez admitted to poor play in 2012. "There's a bunch of situations for me, personally, I wish I would have played a little better at times, but that's part of playing this game and trying to develop your identity as an offense," he said. "And some of the injuries we sustained prevented us from doing that. That's part of the game, too, so we really underachieved as a team." |
Huddle Up: Sanchez played poorly and the Jets underachieved... not exactly breaking news. Gang Green has been trying to unload Sanchez this offseason but hasn't found any takers for his salary. Right now he's all the Jets have, but they'll need to make a draft-day splash with a wide receiver (Tavon Austin?) for Sanchez to move the needle fantasy-wise.
|
| Darrelle Revis - CB |
Posted 4/17/13 2:54pm et |
| The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may not trade for New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis if the Jets continue to insist on acquiring three draft picks in the trade. The Buccaneers are willing to trade a first-round draft choice and something else to the Jets but believe they are the only team that has salary cap space and a need at cornerback that are talking with the Jets. |
Huddle Up: Right now the Bucs are the only suitors for Revis, and all indications are he won't be back in New York. Getting a first round pick for a guy coming off a torn ACL would be a solid get for the Jets, so as the draft approaches and the Bucs refuse to blink expect them to back off the volume picks demand and "settle" for a first and another conditional selection. It's better than getting nothing for Revis, which at present seems to be the alternative.
|
| Tim Tebow - QB |
Posted 4/17/13 7:15pm et |
| New York Jets QB Tim Tebow has worked with independent quarterbacks coach Steve Clarkson this offseason, and Clarkson said he believes Tebow has fixed his throwing motion. Clarkson said he believes the flaws in his throwing motion were due to bad footwork. Clarkson also believes that Tebow was too heavy this season to play well. |
Huddle Up: Tebow's new mechanics will be on display for any team that wishes to check them out; just contact the Jets' front office.
|
| Tim Tebow - QB |
Posted 4/15/13 3:23pm et |
| New York Jets QB Tim Tebow reported for the first day of offseason workouts Monday, April 15. |
Huddle Up: We haven't had a Tebow update in a while, but apparently the Jets are getting a start on their punt protection practice.
|
| Santonio Holmes - WR |
Posted 4/15/13 3:23pm et |
| New York Jets WR Santonio Holmes will not report for the start of offseason workouts because he is rehabbing his foot injury in Ohio. |
Huddle Up: Holmes' 2012 season ended prematurely due to the foot injury, and he'll have the issue of "how healthy is he?" in addition to having Mark Sanchez as his quarterback taking bites out of his fantasy value.
|
| Mark Sanchez - QB |
Posted 4/14/13 5:33pm et |
| Updating a previous report, sources deny a report that New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez would be part of a deal which would send CB Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. |
Huddle Up: There's no shortage of dramatic twists and turns when it come to Revis trade rumors, and the Sanchez angle sounds like nothing more than just that: A juicy rumor.
