Jets announced they fired GM Mike Tannenbaun and are keeping HC Rex Ryan.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 31, 2012Well this is bad news for us Patriots fans. Mainly because the Jets are making moves that make sense. If they were to stick with everyone they have now and keep Mark Sanchez as their starter, that would be amazing.

ESPNs Adam Schefter reports that the San Francisco 49ers signed K Billy Cundiff Tuesday.
The 49ers decided to finally bring in some kickers for tryouts this week after David Akers continued his struggles this season. Its hard to image a team keeping two kickers on their 53-man roster, so Akers could be released at some point in the near future.
