Jamarcus
You can't make this stuff up. The circus in the Big Apple keeps growing as it seems the New York Jets will never learn their lesson. The Tim Tebow experiment failed miserably, and while the Jets brain trust ponders what to do with the badly regressed Mark Sanchez, we get this quote from Conor Orr of The Star-Ledger: " More recently, after Tannenbaum was let go, members of the organization had some very exploratory, informal discussions regarding former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell, the 2007 No. 1 overall pick who flamed out of the NFL after the 2009 season. Russell recently decided to mount a comeback in hopes of returning to the league next season. " Russell, as you've likely hear by now, is attempting an NFL comeback. An easy top fiver for biggest draft bust ever is big in an entirely different way these days, weighing in at a whopping 308 pounds.

Tebow training in Arizona with British Olympians

Tim Tebow isn't letting the fallout of his disappointing 2012 season with the New York Jets keep him from working towards recapturing his NFL career.

Mark Schlereth and Hannah Storm doubt Tim Tebow’s future in ESPN gaffe (VIDEO)

I’m not sure if you have noticed ESPN’s insatiable crush on New York Jets special teams contributor Tim Tebow.  They have turned back the heat and stopped reporting when he sneezes and farts, but if he hocks a big enough loogie, they’ll break into regularly-scheduled programming.  During their Super Bowl over-analyzation Tuesday, the ESPN couldn’t help themselves from talkin’...

Jets GM: Sanchez will have competition

New York Jets general manager John Idzik was groomed in an organization built on the premise of competition bulding contenders, an idea he's ready to introduce in his first days on the job with his new team.

Report: JaMarcus Russell Gets Attention From Jets As Franchise Looks for Quarterback to Push Mark Sanchez

The Jets may be open to moving on from Mark Sanchez, but they’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to finding a suitable replacement. With this year’s draft unlikely to produce any strong quarterbacks, the Jets have had to look elsewhere in the league — or, in this case, elsewhere in the league from several years ago. The Jets have had “some very exploratory...

Former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum takes fall for Tim Tebow trade

From the time it became obvious that Tim Tebow was not going to be a fit with the New York Jets, the media and fans have been looking for someone to blame. It seems fairly obvious that trading for Tebow wasn’t Rex Ryan’s idea, otherwise you would assume he would have given him a shot at some point during the course of the season. Last week, a report indicated the trade was ...

Jets seek to continue comedy of errors at QB

After last offseason’s high profile acquisition of Tim Tebow failed to generate any spark in the offense (and tended to indicate that the decision makers in the organization had no idea what they were doing), the New York Jets once again find themselves looking for answers at the QB position in unlikely places.  Given that their salary cap situation is dire enough to consider...
