The New York Jets are off to a tumultuous offseason thanks to comments being made by some players about their quarterback.
Several Jets players have come out and said that they think the team should try to pry Peyton Manning away from the Indianapolis Colts.
These players said that Sanchez views himself as a star and is lazy in practice because he knows that he won’t be benched.
They suggested that bringing in another quarterback would push Sanchez and force him to be more dedicated at practice and in the film room. (Read More…)

The New York Jets dug themselves a big hole only to rally in the second half and then hold off the San Diego Chargers, 27-21.
It was one of those games where you felt as though the Chargers should win, but would find a way to choke it away as they have done so many times before.
Wide receiver Plaxico Burress didn’t rack up many receiving yards, but still managed to be the star of the show, hauling in three touchdown passes.
Running back Shonn Greene nearly topped the 100-yard rushing mark despite limited carries, so maybe the Jets are getting back to being a physical running team. (Read More…)

The visiting New York Jets used a fortunate call from the officials to slip past the Denver Broncos, 24-20.
Trailing by three late in the game and facing fourth-and-six, the Jets heaved the ball down the field hoping they might get lucky.
Wide receiver Santonio Holmes stumbled near a defender, and an official tossed the yellow flag for pass interference.
Moments later, running back LaDainian Tomlinson scooted into the end zone for the game-winning score. (Read More…)

The New York Jets used a big game from quarterback Mark Sanchez to hold off the Miami Dolphins, 31-23.
For the second straight week, Sanchez tossed three touchdown passes and looked like a confident quarterback.
His favorite target in the first quarter was tight end Dustin Keller, who finished with almost 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns.
Wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who sat out the first quarter, came up with the other touchdown reception. (Read More…)

Not only did the New York Jets lose Monday night to the Baltimore Ravens, but now they will be without one of their best players for the entire season.
Star defensive tackle Kris Jenkins injured his knee in the first quarter, limped off the field and did not return.
After undergoing an MRI, the Jets’ worst fear has come to fruition: Jenkins tore his ACL and is out for the season.
Once the swelling subsides, Jenkins will have surgery to repair his knee in hopes of being ready for next year. (Read More…)

The New York Jets have signed All-Pro center Nick Mangold to a seven-year contract worth $55 million.
Mangold was participating in training camp while awaiting a new deal unlike cornerback Darrelle Revis.
The center said that he has talked to Revis about negotiations but that they aren’t in the same situation.
Mangold said he decided to come to training camp because he isn’t the type to hold out and pout. (Read More…)

Nobody’s going to be surprised by the New York Jets in 2010. And even if people though the Jets could sneak up on people this season, they’ll be on prime time plenty of times.
The National Football League has announced game times and dates for the 2010 schedule. The Jets, who came within one victory of the Super Bowl last season, are a team that will be watched closely this season.
It starts on Monday Night Football Sept. 13 at home against Baltimore. After a showdown with AFC East rival New England in week 2 at home, the Jets play at Miami on Sunday Night Football on Sept. 26. A visit to Buffalo comes next, followed by a Monday Night Football meeting at home against NFC runner-up Minnesota Vikings.
The Jets head to Denver for week 6 on Oct. 17, followed by the bye week on Oct. 24. The schedule resumes with a home game against Green Bay, followed by road games at Detroit and at Cleveland. A pair of home games follow, against Houston and Cincinnati, the Jets facing the Bengals on Thanksgiving Night.
The Jets visit the Patriots on Dec. 6 in a Monday Night Football matchup. A home date with Miami, two road contests — at Pittsburgh and at Chicago — and a home game against Buffalo round out the regular season.

The New York Jets 2010 schedule has been released, with the season opener quite possibly being the highlight of the year.
The Jets will host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football to open up their new stadium in what is likely to be one of the hardest hitting games of the year.
It’s clear that the team’s strong postseason run and bevy of offseason acquisitions have raised expectations and hype, and that can certainly be found in the schedule with five primetime games.
The good news is that the Jets were a wild card team last year and their schedule doesn’t look very difficult.
Some of their toughest opponents like Baltimore, Minnesota, Green Bay and Cincinnati will have to travel to the Meadowlands, and some of those are primetime games.

Five home games against playoff teams await the New York Jets in 2010. If the Jets are going to repeat their push to the AFC championship game, they’re going to have to handle a very difficult home portion of their schedule.
The National Football League has released its list of home games and road games for the upcoming season. Dates and times have not been announced yet.
But from just looking at the list of home games, the Jets know how difficult a task they have this season. Coming to play the Jets at home this season includes the AFC East champion New England Patriots, the AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals, the NFC North champion and NFC runner-up Minnesota Vikings, and a pair of wild-card teams, Baltimore and Green Bay.
The other home games come against AFC East rivals Buffalo and Miami, plus a visit from Houston.
The road schedule is nowhere near as tough. The Jets travel to New England to face the Patriots in the only road game against a playoff team. The rest of the road schedule includes games at Buffalo, at Miami, at Cleveland, at Pittsburgh, at Detroit, at Denver and at Chicago.
New York’s 2010 schedule ranks tied for 16th in the NFL (with Buffalo, Miami and Oakland), based on opponents’ winning percentage.
