JETS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Jets plan to blitz more this season
The New York Jets have always been viewed as a defensive minded team, considering head coach Rex Ryan’s history as a defensive coordinator plus formerly having the best cornerback in the league. Over the last two years however, the Jets have been slipping in the rankings for the defense. Some attribute that to having a ‘old and slow’ front seven while others will chose to blame...
Who will start under center for the Jets in 2013?
If the New York Jets are going to turn things around in 2013, the one thing they need to get sorted out as quickly as possible is their quarterback situation. Returning starter Mark Sanchez figures to be the front-runner, but once the team took GenoSmith in the 2013 NFL draft, things got a little more competitive. The question is, can either one of them carry a team to the playoffs...
Tim Tebow Gets the Last Laugh on the New York Jets
It's been a heck of a year for young Tim Tebow. He never really got the chance to play, got passed over for the No. 3 guy after the team finally benches Mark Sanchez, and eventually gets cut. Rex Ryan and the New York Jets organization really pulled the wool over his eyes by making him--and the rest of us--believe that he was going to be a secret weapon.
That's okay...
Concerns About Jets TE Kellen Winslow Already?
ESPN New York’s Rich Cimini was told by an opposing personnel executive that the Jets should be concerned with recently signed tight end Kellen Davis this season.
“I think it’s a lot like [David] Garrard… He’ll be fine in a workout, moving and running, but taking a hit, the grind of training camp and a full, 16-game season will be the litmus tests… I’d watch him closely...
Jets to pay more for Tebow than Pats over next two years
This is gotta hurt, especially if Tebow is sent out on the field twice a year to do something successful against that the New York Jets, the team that couldn't find anything of substance to do with him and cut him.
The New England Patriots, if they keep Tebow for the 2 years of his new contract, will only come out of pocket for $1.36 million, while the Jets still owe the Broncos...
New York Jets paying more for Tim Tebow than Patriots
The New York Jets are still on the hook for $1.53 million with regards to Tim Tebow, which is more money than the Patriots owe him for 2013 and 2014, combined.
Jets’ Santonio Holmes questionable for Week 1
New York Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes missed most of
last season due to a Lisfranc fracture, and the injury could continue to impact
his 2013 campaign. Holmes told reporters recently – including ESPN New York –
that his target date for return is the first day of training camp, but he added
that this is likely a little overly ambitious. For this reason, and because it...
Santonio Holmes’ Lisfranc Injury Was Most Severe Kind
New York Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes will probably miss all of training camp with a Lisfranc injury that kept him out nearly all of last season.
Holmes revealed to ESPN New York that his Lisfranc fracture was diagnosed as a Grade 4 injury, which is the most serious kind.
He had a joint separation and a muscle tear in the middle of his foot. A plate was removed in a March...
Antonio Cromartie stepping into leadership role for Jets
When the New York Jets brought in Antonio Cromartie and teamed him up with Darrelle Revis, the Jets knew they had one of the fiercest cornerback tandems in the NFL. However, while it takes two to make a tandem, Cromartie was always the ‘other guy.’ It wasn’t that Cromartie was not good enough. He just so happened to play across from one of the premier defensive backs in the...

Kellen Winslow Signs One-Year Contract
After the first day of Kellen Winslow's tryout with the Jets it was obvious the team would offer Winslow a contract if his body held up through the next two days of his tryout and now John Idzik made it official by signing the talented tight end to a one-year contract.With the Jets being incredibly thin at not only tight end, but also at receiver the team was desperate to add...
Antonio Cromartie to rent house with teammates in California
New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie is making leaps and bounds in taking over the leader role Darrelle Revis vacated when he was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He’s doing everything right. From being an apparent financial guru to now, according to NJ.Com, Cromartie plans to rent a house in California with some of his teammates. No not for baby making purposes, but to...
New York Jets OTA Summary
Mark Sanchez, Greg McElroy and Geno Smith during OTA’s
The New York Jets opened up OTA’s on Tuesday with a fury of question marks. The biggest question mark, as always with the Jets, is the play of their quarterback. All eyes were on QB Mark Sanchez and second round draft pick QB Geno Smith. To start OTA’s most of the first-team snaps were taken by Mark Sanchez however, on...
JETS-SETTER
Rex Ryan pats himself on the back
Rex Ryan believes he isn't given the respect for his coaching acumen that he deserves, saying, "I’m a hell of a lot better football coach than I’m given credit for."
89-Day New York Jets Warning – The Promise Of Geno Smith
Here at Turn On The Jets, we decided to take a page out of Robert Mays book over at Grantland (a polite way of saying rip his article idea off) by counting down the 115 days until the New York Jets kick off, with a daily reason to get excited about their return. Mays has the whole NFL to work with, we only have the Goddamn Jets…now there is a challenge, step your game up Mays...
