Quinton Coples is expected to be a starter as a rookie on Rex Ryan's defensive line after a standout career with the Tar Heels.
The New York Jets have signed seventh-round draft pick Antonio Allen, according to The New York Post. Allen, a strong safety out of the University of South Carolina, inked a four-year deal that includes a $45,896 signing bonus, the paper reported.
Jets running back/kick returner Joe McKnight -- who was an All-Pro selection this past season -- gained 16 pounds this offseason by stuffing himself with loads of McDonald's, CBSSports.com reported.
You kind of get the idea that the locker room is collectively saying, "Yeah, sure, Mark's our starter. But this Tebow guy, he's something else!"
Joe McKnight remembers looking at the Jets' new playbook for the first time a few weeks ago and noticing a major difference. It was simple and a lot easier to wrap his head around.
Here's some food for thought: Tim Tebow has unmatched passion — even in the cafeteria. At least that's what Darrelle Revis thinks.
When the Jets acquired Tim Tebow, Joe Namath wasn't a fan of the acquisition. He also took it upon himself to question the hiring of Tony Sparano as offensive coordinator. But as fast as you can say "ay ay ay", Namath has had a change of heart on both subjects.
Fans who root for the Jets and Islanders won't admit it, but the big games this year certainly have to give them a moment of pause, a time to reflect and ask themselves: What did I do to deserve this?
The Jets legend made it clear Tuesday night that he favors Mark Sanchez to be the starting quarterback for his old team over Tim Tebow.
After a terribly disappointing 2011 season, Jets head coach Rex Ryan has exclaimed that he will be more hands-on this season, both with his defense and with the pulse of the overall football team. Well he should certainly have some fresh energy for the upcoming campaign.
Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis and inside linebacker David Harris said that head coach Rex Ryan has been increasingly more involved in defensive meetings this offseason, according to reports.
The New York Jets have signed running back Terrance Ganaway, one of their sixth-round draft picks, to a four-year contract.
As his 46.5 completion percentage and 72.9 rating from 2011 might indicate, Tebow could certainly use some work under center.
With high-profile backup Tim Tebow right behind him on the depth chart, the pressure is on Mark Sanchez more than ever.
Jets fans were split on the "Hard Knocks" debate this offseason. Well, those in the "shouldn't they" camp are in luck.
