Oliver Celestin, who has been with the Jets now for two years after being signed off the Vikings practice squad was waived, likely solidifying Kerry Rhodes role as the starter, and possibly bolstering Andre Maddox, who was drafted last year, but was injured during training camp.

Apparently, Deadspin has heard that Vince Young scored a 6 on his Wonderlic test at the Combine. I am not sure if this is true or not, but apparently the story is that the test was 'improperly given' and he scored a 16 on the next go round…
Whether it's true or not, now he has [...]

The Daily News contacted Joe Gibbs at the Combine to learn about any interest that the Jets might have had in Patrick Ramsey, or might still have. Gibbs was coy about the future, but did admit that the Jets had inquired after Chad went down. Though the price at the time was too high, the [...]

With the Combine well underway, the rumor mongering (we love it!) around the Jets is picking up and according to old friend Randy Lange, the Jets are actively working with the Texans to trade up to the top spot to get Matt Leinart.
In theory, the deal might makes sense… at least for the Texans. The [...]

Chris Neubauer from Pro Football Weekly is keeping a blog about the NFL Combine, and wrote yesterday about D'Brickashaw Ferguson, and his desire to return to New York. Neubauer writes:
Ferguson, a native New Yorker, told the awestruck media contingent that he molded his game after former Giants OT Lomas Brown. Ferguson also said that [...]

To quote Fred Williard in A Mighty Wind:
“Hey wha'
happen?!?!”
Apologies for not posting since last week. I
went to visit family and was unable to access the Internets. It looks like I
picked the wrong weekend to not pay attention to this stuff, and to stop
sniffing glue…
So, since I left you in the proverbial
lurch… here's wha' happen…
1) Suprise! John [...]

For a link to his video blog (vlog) post click here.
A check to the cap page shows that [...]

The Star Ledger reports that John Abraham will likely receive the franchise tag again… which would guarantee him $8.3 million if he signs the paper.
I truly believe that you can't let Abe walk, and although I would love to see the team get some draft picks for him, I consider it fairly unlikely that another [...]

Here's today's game.
Mark Cannizzarro contacted members of the Jets offense and got the following responses on Pennington's status with the team:
Player A: “I think we should release him; he's too injury-prone.”
Player B: “He's like an egg back there. I mean, look at the ways he's gotten hurt. He hasn't even been hit that hard. The [...]

Not suprisingly, Pennington and his agent Tom Condon, are sticking to their guns and at least at this point, are holding the team's cap for ransom, basically the only leverage that the pair have at this point.
The other players getting the screws put to them are Martin, Kendall, Fabini, Coles and Mawae. It appears that [...]

Well don't say I didn't tell you, the trouble is, I gave him at least an extra year of cushion.
The Chosen One toyed with our hearts, he toyed with our emotions, and though he hasn't even left yet, he is talking about how great it would be to play for another team, and not [...]

A lot of news is making it's way out of Hempstead and apparently no one is safe. Not moral leaders, not wily veterans, and certainly not big names with big cap numbers. After yesterday's news about Pennington more information is leaking out about some of the other targets on the “cap bloat radar.”
