The New York Jets have flown under the radar so far in free agency, but they've filled a few important voids in the process.Gang Green acquired former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive guard Willie Colon Friday before adding some depth on the opposite line by picking up ex-San Diego Chargers defensive tackle Antonio Garay. New York was in the market for an offensive frontman to work on the interior, as right guard Brandon Moore is a likely goner and left guard Matt Slauson has yet to be re-signed.As for the defense, the Jets parted ways with interior linemen Sione Po'uha and Mike Devito on the first day of free agency and needed a body to work with Kenrick Ellis, who is expected to step up into a semi-starting role between defensive ends Muhammad Wilkerson and Quinton Coples.Follow Nick @NickStDenisFollow AFC East Daily @AFCEastDaily

The gutting of the Jets continues…Dustin Keller gets one year deal from the Dolphins

Via In The Neutral Zone  |  March 15, 2013
If you need further proof that the Jets will not have Mark Sanchez starting at quarterback, just look at the move to let Dustin Keller go to the rival Dolphins. Keller in many respects was Sanchez security blanket in the Jets offense. Sanchez had a comfort level with Keller. When a play would break down Sanchez would fall back to Keller. There has been rumblings of the Jets being...
