Although it was just a footnote, it appears that Trey Teague visited with the Jets yesterday. Teague is a league vet of eight years and is a competent starter. The skinny is that he is a good leader, can call out the right protections, is mobile, can help the guards in the pass and run, [...]

It's official, the Jets are now moving to Florham Park, according to USA Today (bottom of page). Not that you care, but that is a short trip from where I lived as a tot, Whippany.

Remember me?
I tried this a while back, but will attempt this again. The last time I mentioned this, the only response I got was the chirping of crickets…
I have to admit, with picks in the past like these, I have my reservations about attending the draft, but is anyone planning on attending the 2006 Draft [...]

The wires are reporting that the Jets have signed Cornerback Andre Dyson (formerly with the Titans and Seahawks) to a five year deal worth more about $11.5 million, with $3 million in signing/roster bonuses.
Dyson was signed clearly to replace Ty Law as the second starter at corner, and will be a decent stopgap with some [...]

Jets scout Marv Sunderland has made some ripples in Canada by eyeing prospect Dan Federkeil, a DT from the University of Calgary. Think Marko Cavka beast-project, but this time on the defensive line.

If you look to the column on the left, you will see that I finally have come up with a scientific, totally biased system to dole out punishment on news organizations covering the Jets for whatever reasons we think that they deserve it.
Created with the sensibility of Bassett's friend Trey and his “cool points theorem” [...]

As the owners meetings have been rolling on in Orlando, Cannizarro might have dislocated his arm after patting himself on the back (link fixed) pretty hard for getting “… the first extensive one-on-one interview [Mangini]'s granted since he was hired, Mangini made a pledge to Jets fans in an exclusive sit-down with The Post over [...]

Matt Millen told a Michigan newspaper that he has had interest from a number of teams for Joey Harrington, including the Jets. I don't think the Jets need another quarterback with some major deficiency, but I applaud them for looking into all options. I would have to think that Harrington is too much champagne and [...]

Yesterday the Jets received a 3rd round compensatory pick, and free agent Monsanto Pope signed with the Jets to fill the hole of nose tackle for the 3-4. I doubt that Pope is the clear starter, but will likely battle Robertson for the job, or work in the rotation.

Not too much time today, but I figured I would pass on some interesting Jets-related links.
Chad Pennington has been on the fundraiser circuit, attending one for the Boy Scouts, and his own annual fundraiser. Even after all those dropped passes, apparently he still invited Anthony Becht.
Tom Ashworth signed on with the Seattle Seahawks
Troy Brown re-signed [...]
