GO TIME.






Ok. Things are moving fast, real fast. So I'm just going to quickly recap today's events in Jets Land as far as I know.

First things first I was completely confident Right Tackle Damien Woody would be back for one more year after being released shortly after last season. He repeatedly has stated it's Jets or retirement and the Jets want him back so ipso facto he'd be back. However, OL Wayne Hunter who played in place of big Wood in some spots last season has re-signed. So as of now I expect them to make a run at Big wood only at a small price as an insurance policy. Very disappointing.

According to reports from Jets beat reporters Manish Mehta and Rich Cimini along with Jetsblog the Jets have reached out to S Eric Smith, WR Santonio Holmes, CB Antonio Cromartie and CB Nnamdi Asomugha. Boom! Aso, insane, I'm moist thinking about it. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, hopefully something with materialize within the next few days regarding Aso. Anywho, what's most surprising here is no word of Braylon Edwards. Yeah, it's just day one but it just goes to show where they rank Bray in their list of important UFA's. So are they perhaps banking on a 2nd tier #2 further down the line?
    To me it seems like they're going all out on Holmes (which is the right thing to do) and then trying to shore up their 2nd corner spot while keeping an eye out/doing their due diligence on Asomugha. Solid so far Mr. T.
Buttttttt,   Big time negative here Trader Mike: No word on what their stance is on Shaun Ellis. This guy single-handedly stopped  the run for the Jets last year/the last 10 seasons, and I fear without re-signing this guy their run D will suffer big time. He's clearly irreplaceable right now with the inexperience of 2011 D-Line Draftees Wilkerson and Ellis.
Anyway this is just day 1, more to come tomorrow.
