Courtesy of atlantajetsfan (thanks!) on ESPN's Jets Message Board, I saw a link to salary cap information
concerning the Jet's cap space and found it rather interesting.
According to this site, the Jets have the second most room to work with
in the NFL.
George knows the Jets' Front Office have lots of these.
This
should allow them to resign [...]
Assistant Quarterbacks Coach, Jeremy Bates from the Bucs, in an ironic twist is joining the Jets
as QB Coach. When asked about the move, Bates stated “I am glad I am
with the Jets, I don't want to be Hackett-ized.”(Bada-bum!)
Interestingly, Bates is the son of former interim head coach of the
Dolphins who has quite a bullet point [...]
From looking at a couple different mock
draft boards, the 2005 draft will be interesting for the Jets. Some
boards have the Jets taking TE Heath Miller or Alex Smith, while others think that Carlos Rogers will help the secondary.
It stands to reason to look into the free agent market (1 & 2) to see how the [...]

Neil
O'Donnell, who has been a broadcaster for the Titans thinks that Chad
Pennington and Heimerdinger will get along well. O'Donnell predicts
some friction, but knows that his expectation of perfection is a good
thing.

there in March, April, the first time the sun comes out, tossing the
football [...]
Jets' Sneak on Chad's Tear - NY Daily News, Rich Cimini
It looks like the papers are treating the whole shoulder thing like it is Watergate.
I mean, why would they let everyone know the gory details of the
injury? If they do, opposing pass rushers would try to aggravate the
injury, and media and fans would have been [...]
Surgeon says Chad Will be Fine - NY Newsday
According to doctors, Chad's and his shoulder will be find for
camp, but his shoulder will never be what it once was. This from a guy
who never had a cannon to begin with…
Today, Dr. Elliot Pellman, the team doctor for the Jets will
address the media, in a rare [...]
Burress Among Key Free Agents for AFC runner-up
This
is the guy I want for the Jets. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell
that it will, but Burress would be the prototype free-agent acquisition
for this offense.
The Jets are looking for a big, physical wide receiver to
complement Moss & McCareins, and with Heimerdinger, I wonder
whether this would be [...]

CHAD NEEDS SURGERY FOR TORN ROTATOR CUFF - New York Daily News
Looks like Chad's injury was worse than the team let on. I thought
he would need surgery, but a torn labrum needs some serious rehab. If
you will remember, a torn labrum is the same injury that Pedro Martinez
has.
An MRI within the last couple of days, [...]
For Brien out loud - New York Daily News
Gary Myers catches up with “the poster child for last-second missed field goals,” Scott Norwood, about Doug Brien.
When asked about the kicks, Norwood defended Brien, saying a lot of
kickers miss twice. While I was on Ryan Wilson's Heels, Sox &
Steelers site, I read a comment from a [...]
As the

take it as a sign that I am doing something right, so thank you.
I wanted to take the time to outline a few things that I would like [...]

Volek: Heimerdinger will pay off for Jets - NJ.com
McCareins: New OC's a Creator - New York Post
So the reports are true, the Dinger likes to yell, but his
players respected him and say that they think he made them better
players.
Justin McCareins (Jets WR & Former Titan):
“Creativity
is the first word I'd use,” McCareins said. “You're not [...]
Quarterbacks coach spot might open soon - ESPN.com
Word
on the street is that Jon Gruden might be looking out for his old boss.
While Hackett was the head coach at the University of Pittsburgh,
Gruden was a position coach for him.
One possible job
would be quarterbacks coach; current QB coach John Shoop is seeking an
offensive coordinator's post with other [...]
I
am shocked, I am stunned, I am completely beside myself. How is it that
in less than 24 hours, the Jets can turn my desire to swallow broken
glass into sheer joy?
Not only did Hackett resign, but a replacement was named on the same day, and not just a replacement, but Mike Heimerdinger,
who is the yin to [...]
