Vick King, who just retired from football and the Jets has been replaced by Terry Butler, a rookie free agent. Butler is a 6'1″, 200-pound back who rushed for 2,080 yards in his four years at Villanova.
I am guessing this kid is camp or practice squad fodder, but thought it was worth noting…
Training camp is my oasis.
For
the past few months now, there has been scarce little information about
most teams, and I feel like I have been parched for a drop of Jets, or
for that matter NFL news. But to keep up with the sheer volume of
stories right now is like (as my old boss would say over [...]
Some more notes from around the sites on the Jets camp.
1) Check out some pictures from Newsday's site from Friday's practice.
2) Take a gander at some of Mark LaMonica's videos from Friday (one of Newsday's KBQBs)
3) Also, it's worth checking out his Friday diary from camp, pretty funny.
4) Our friend, Mr. Lange has a blog [...]
Wow, what a couple of weeks for me! Pete Hunter, a Jet!!!!
No,
in reality, getting married, going to Saint Lucia and coming back the
U.S. on my birthday, it has all been a great but somewhat surreal
whirlwind. Although getting back to my “regular life” (i.e. not sitting

They will give daily updates on who is performing well and (hopefully
not too often) any injuries. It tends to be mostly good news though.
Here is an example from last year.
Personally,
I cannot help but read this things with [...]

So many links, so little time…it
seems like optimism is the order of the day. Nugent is signed, Chad
will be ready, Jones CAN play right tackle and Herm is confident that
Abe will be here. The media doesn't necessarily concur…
A look at some key issues heading into camp
A camp preview
Another camp preview plus the first report that [...]
OK, I've got some decent links for you now.
Ty Law's agent says the Jets made an offer
averaging over $6m per year. Don't get too excited though…I don't
