The upcoming New York Jets off-season is likely going to disappoint a large portion of the team’s fanbase. Every need isn’t going to be filled. That being said, what do the Jets have to take care of, at a minimum, in the upcoming months for Mike Tannenbaum to do a satisfactory job? It starts up front on both sides of the football, which means getting Sione Pouha signed to a 2-3 year deal to make sure he can keep anchoring the Jets run defense. On offense, that means bringing in a veteran right tackle to compete with Wayne Hunter, somebody along lines of a Vernon Carey. The offensive line should also be supported with a mid-round pick to develop. Improving the pass rush is of equal priority. Mario Williams isn’t happening. There are a few decent stopgap players available in free agency like Anthony Spencer and Manny Lawson. If Tannenbaum is thinking big on draft day, it should be at this position. The Jets aren’t going to need to sell the farm to move up to ge...

Early New York Jets Draft Thoughts

The NFL Draft is still a few months away but with the Combine kicking off today, let’s discuss some of the early chatter about what the Jets might do this April. 1. There has been an alarming amount of talk about the Jets selecting a guard in the first round, which I am pretty sure would lead to a storming of the stage at Radio City. Listen, I understand the value of the offensive...

New York Jets: Versatile Courtney Upshaw Fills A Major Need

If this year’s Super Bowl proved anything, it is that the formula to beat the New England Patriots heavily involves a strong pass rush. With the likes of Calvin Pace and Aaron Maybin leading the way, the Jets have a long way to go to reach that level. There’s no question that the Jets also struggled mightily with covering tight ends this season, especially ones with speed and...

Sizing up Jets Salary Cap

Let me start by first stating how awful I am at math. No seriously. Just plain awful. I use my fingers to add up tips for big checks at restaurants. But I will NOT use my cellphone's tip calculator. You got to draw the line somewhere.In high school, math IV was nearly the downfall of what was lined up to be a most glorious post-graduation bender. Booze, babes and beaches all...

Burning question: should the New York Jets draft a quarterback?

Despite what Rex Ryan thinks, the New York Jets are not the kings of the Big Apple. That role is currently taken by the New York Football Giants. The Jets have a lot to do this off season before they can be considered true contenders in the AFC again. The number one talked about name you might hear associated to the Jets this offseason is Peyton Manning. While the Jets are still...

If the Chargers and LaDainian Tomlinson can put the past behind them, he could be their backup running back

LaDainian Tomlinson is an unrestricted free agent, and the Chargers could use an upgrade at backup running back.  Tomlinson has 294 attempts for 1,194 yards over the last two seasons, which is an average of 4.1 yards per attempt.  This is not far off from his career average of 4.3 yards per attempt.  I am not saying that Tomlinson is anywhere near being the RB he was in the prime...

Peyton Manning to the Jets?

Thanks, Jaws. I guess the best way for everyone to forget you were booted off the Monday Night Football crew is to go on local radio and be the "NFL insider" correspondent. Ron Jaworski went on the 97.5 in Philly and talked with Mike Missanelli. Jaworski, like many of us, believe Peyton won'y be back in a Colts uniform.Instead of the Colts, he thinks the Jets would...
