And the New York Jets may have done it to Eric Mangini and the Cleveland Browns again. The draft day trade that allowed the Jets to leap 12 spots and select Mark Sanchez was eyebrow-raising, especially given the compensation Mangini accepted for the rights to the Browns’ fifth-overall pick. Cleveland received safety Abram Elam, defensive end Kenyon Coleman, and quarterback Brett Ratliff—none of them are standouts at their respective positions—as well as the

The well-publicized rift between the disgruntled wide receiver and the Broncos organization continues to grow even more peculiar by the day. As reporters cite their anonymous sources, the Broncos and New York Jets are preparing to co-write an NFL-inspired episode of Gossip Girl. ESPN’s Ed Werder reports the Broncos’ intentions

Eric Mangini’s cryptic approach to dealing with the press might be a thing of the past, but placing absolute faith in any words escaping from Florham Park in the offseason is still ill-advised. This isn’t to say that the New York Jets are liars. It can be credited as a strategic approach as it’s quite obvious that this organizations enjoys keeping their thoughts very
