Vick King, who just retired from football and the Jets has been replaced by Terry Butler, a rookie free agent.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
on a recliner, on the beach, under a grass hut, on [...]

returning today, it is time for me to return the keys to
thejetsblog.com and hand things back over to Bassett. I'll still be on
board giving my thoughts from across the pond in the run up to and
during the season.

As training camp action begins this morning, we can expect to receive the usual reports from the official site.
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
think the Jets can afford that and it makes little sense for them to
make an offer before Law works out. This sounds like classic Poston -
trying to get the [...]
Since I can't find anything interesting to link to today (OK, the NY media is getting all excited over Ty Law's comments
that I linked you to yesterday and US Today ranks the league's best
Tight Ends (yeah, like *that* was ever going to feature any Jets) but
other than that…nothing). Instead I want to talk about [...]
OK, guys. It's time for you to do some
work. I don't know how comfortable Bassett would be with me calling an
audible at this point, but hey…you snap me the ball, I'm gonna make
the call.
An audible is one of Bassett's inventions and it
basically represents a chance for you to offer your comments and/or
predictions. I have three [...]
Law pleased with workout
- Apparently the Detroit workout went well and the Lions are (gasp!)
going to make an offer…wait, I thought that loads of teams already
made offers? Guess not, huh?
Law to Jets a possibility
- Ty is talking up the Jets as a potential destination. Is he just
trying to drive up the offer from the Lions? [...]
Today's episode of the Ty Law show has our hero working out for Detroit.
While Rich Cimini predicted yesterday that Law would be a Jet and other
sources have said that the Jets fill Law's expectation of a contender,
it is also being widely reported that the Jets are unlikely to get
their man. Watch this space…
A pretty non-descript [...]
Final preparations are in place, all
those unresolved issues are put to one side and with the Jets due to
report on Thursday, the anticipation is building. The hard work begins
on Friday.
Rich Cimini
puts together a good piece on the Jets final preparations. I have to
give him credit, because I was perhaps a bit unfair in the way [...]
