Curtis Martin Talks Canton (Video)
April 11th, 2012
Curtis sits down with Pete Fierle of the pro football hall of fames manager of digital media and communications to discuss his journey to the Hall of Fame but of course in typical Curtis Martin fashion he exhibits humility and class. Talks about hard work and being able to seize every opportunity he had from college to the pros. Scoffs at stats and numbers but is very proud of being the 2nd RB in pro football history to rush for 1000 yards in 10 straight seasons. Only other player to achieve this feat was Barry Sanders. Definitely great company but a little ticked with himself personally he wasn’t able to break the record.
Curtis Martin is a great Jet and maybe one of the best ever. As a player, fan favorite, warrior, teammate and professional Curtis Martin embodies class and a great role model for young players entering the NFL.
We salute Curtis, we loved listening to him speak as much as we loved watching him play.

Jets Sign Rugby Star Hayden Smith
April 3rd, 2012The New York Jets on Tuesday signed Australian rugby star Hayden Smith, a 6-foot-7, 240-pound former basketball player who projects as a tight end in the NFL.
———————————————————————-
Interesting signing by the Jets. Hayden is a great athlete but very raw. Playing a new position and playing the game of North American football is a different game. Jets fans can’t expect much early on. He will be a project.
Jets Add Tebow to QB Mix
March 21st, 2012
For the second time Wednesday, Denver has agreed to trade Tim Tebow and a 2012 seventh-round draft pick to the New York Jets for fourth- and sixth-round selections in April’s draft.
Eight hours after initially agreeing to a deal, the teams completed the trade that was hung up when the Jets, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, balked at repaying Denver more than $5 million for a salary advance due Tebow. The two sides agreed to split that cost, the sources said, and Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said the team was “comfortable with the compensation.”
Jets Sign SS LaRon Landry
March 19th, 2012
The New York Jets have agreed to a one-year deal with former Washington Redskins safety LaRon Landry, the team announced Monday.
The deal is for one year and $4 million, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
——————————————————-
No way Jets could strike out twice after missing and whiffing on Nelson after a 2 day visit at the complex. LaRon will be playing for a contract with the Jets so we should see some of his best football this season. LaRon should flourish and Rex’s multiple defensive system. LaRon will be used all over the field and should be fun to watch him in this defense.
Jets sign WR Chaz Schilens
March 16th, 2012Jets have signed WR Chaz Schilens
Oakland Raiders
Entering Week 9 of the 2008 campaign, Schilens was named a starter, playing opposite Javon Walker. Schilens was also a factor in the outside blocking game, adding extra yardage on running plays with key blocks. In week 16, Schilens had his best game as a Raider, catching three passes for 52 yards including a 20 yard touchdown. He finished the 2008 campaign with 15 catches for 226 yards and two touchdowns.
Chaz broke the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot in August, 2009, but returned to action midway through the season and caught the game winning touchdown in an upset in Week 15 over the rival Denver Broncos.
In 2010, Schilens had another injury-plagued campaign, playing in only five games and catching five passes total.
Jets Add QB Drew Stanton to Lineup

Confirmed Jets reached one-year deal with Drew Stanton. #nyj
———————————————
Jets add QB Drew Stanton to QB mix. Brunell was never the guy the Jets wanted to turn to as a backup for the struggling Mark Sanchez. Stanton will provide that competition for Sanchez in camp. A signing like this was much needed.
