5/9/13: Even when the Jets try to stay under the radar they invite controversy. The latest is about their newly drafted quarterback Geno Smith. Several 'insiders' said that his draft stock fell because he did not pay attention to coaches and spent more time on his phone when he was at team visits. Smith went in the middle of the second round. This week, Smith fired his agents, blaming them for not preparing him and not getting him selected earlier. Smith is showing all the courage of a startled mouse with his recent attitude and actions. Perfect for the publicity hungry Jets.

5/2/13: And the winner of the 2013 press conference is…perennial winner New York Jets. This team just cannot avoid public drama. First they traded their best player, cornerback Darrelle Revis, for the number 13 pick. Then they do nothing to help the offense (a league-wide laughingstock last season), by selecting Alabama cornerback Dee Miller at 9, and Missouri defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson at 13. Finally, they made life more uncomfortable by taking West Virginia QB Geno Smith with the 7th pick in the second round. It seems they like the circus atmosphere, and there was no commitment that incumbent QB Mark Sanchez will be with the team for training camp.

4/25/13: Jets finally ridded themselves of their long running Darrelle Revis problem New York was able to send the perpetually unhappy cornerback to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the number 13 pick this year and a conditional third or fourth rounder next year. Many people may believe that the Jets should not have gotten rid of their best player, but Revis is coming off of an ACL tear, always wants more money (which the Jets do not have), and is simply a distraction. The Jets may have the worst roster in the league going into this season, and that should be Rex Ryan's legacy with this organization.

4/18/13: The Jets will probably retain their crown as the number one NFL distraction this season. They are off to a good start. First, never used third string QB Tim Tebow showed up an hour early for voluntary workouts. He is sure to draw a throng of media before he is traded or cut (read: cut). Darrelle Revis also showed up, but he had three million reasons to do so. Revis would prefer to finish his ACL tear rehab in Arizona, but workout bonuses dictate otherwise. He has been cleared to run normally. The only thing that is left is to finalize the eventual trade to Tampa.

4/11/13: It is always easy to find something to discuss about the Jets, and so often it focuses on star cornerback Darrelle Revis. Revis wants to continue his rehab from a torn ACL in Arizona on his own. The team wants him at their facility for offseason workouts. The Jets are holding a reported $3 million in bonus monies over Revis' head. For someone that has repeatedly cried about not earning enough with the Jets it is odd to see him turn down guaranteed cash. Perhaps he has a deal lined up elsewhere (Tampa) if the Jets will only make the trade.

4/4/13: The Jets are running out of options with cornerback Darrelle Revis. Revis is easily the best player on the team, but he commands a big salary and wants more. Many feel that the Jets best option is to trade him and rebuild - something veteran head coaches hate to do because they are essentially signing away their jobs when the team tanks. With Nnamdi Asoughma signing in San Francisco, and Eric Wright reportedly renegotiating his deal in Tampa, the potential trade partners are dwindling. The Jets, may in fact, be forced to keep Revis just a little bit longer.

3/28/13: Speculating on the Jets and their personnel moves is among the greatest hobbies of the New York media - and they are at it again. Again it concerns cornerback Darrelle Revis. Head coach Rex Ryan has said that he knows of no discussions taking place to trade Revis, but he has also said that there is not a fair offer available. So the speculation is on how involved Ryan is in personnel matters with new a GM, or is he just lying. A coach lying to the press is not news. That happens everyday. Many believe with the team not in a position to win this coming year, their best bet is to trade Revis and get draft picks and shed his salary - let the team actually rebuild with a plan.

3/21/13: Are the Jets as big of a mess as the media plays them out to be? Probably so. The team still has not committed one way or another on cornerback Darrelle Revis, even allowing a deadline to pass to give him a $1 million roster bonus. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are interested in Revis, and have reportedly offered a package to the Jets, but there has been no movement yet. QB Tim Tebow is still on the roster. The owner of the Orlando Predators has publicly stated that if he is cut, then there is a contract waiting for him in the Arena League. That may be good for Tebow for a couple of years, allowing him to get reps and work on his mechanics.

Unfortunately your team did not have make the Super Bowl and we are truly sorry. Next year! But that doesn't mean you can't have a great time at the Super Bowl this year. Check out more info on Super Bowl 2013 tickets over on the SeatGeek Blog.

3/14/13: Maybe the Jets have learned their lesson. Last year, of course, they traded for Tim Tebow amidst much fan fare. And, of course, that did not work out. This year, they quietly signed 35 year old QB David Garrard. Garrard has been out of the league for the past two years. He was cut by Jacksonville in 2011 just before the season was set to start, presumably to give Blaine Gabbert the position, then sat out to rest his back. He went to training camp last year with the Dolphins, but was cut once he got injured. Garrard is stable and safe, but he is not going to grab headlines like the Jets are used to.

3/7/13: After three seasons of the Rex Ryan circus, the bills are starting to come due. New York is saddled by salary commitments The Jets have already parted ways with a few veterans including Bart Scott. Now they are looking to pick up some cheap free agents. Could it be possible that John Abraham returns to the Big Apple? New York, of course, has to figure out what they will do with Tim Tebow. Most believe they will try to trade him, but will not be able to do so, and will end up releasing him soon. In any case, the outlook for 2013 looks pretty grim. The team was 6-10 with a talented defense, and can only decline by releasing some good players.

2/28/13: The Jets remain non-committal on the future of QB Tim Tebow. It is no secret that his first (and likely only) year with the Jets was a dismal failure. He rarely saw the field, was used primarily in predictable wildcat formations, and never really got a fair shake from the coaching staff. While there is always a chance that New York could retain Tebow, the smart money is on a trade or release. Where he will end up is anyone's guess. There are several teams that need QBs like Kansas City and Arizona, but very few that want a guy that has not proven he can consistently pass the ball in NFL.

2/21/13: The Jets are aggressively attacking their salary cap opposition. This week, the team released or waived four veterans: linebacker Calvin Pace, safety Eric Smith, tackle Jason Smith, and tight end Josh Baker. Additionally, it is rumored that the Jets will release linebacker Bart Scott. The Jets were estimated to be about $20 million over the cap before the moves, and these moves will save the tam about $31 million in cap space. That seems like it is enough money to keep both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow for at least one more year of harmony and peace with the media.

2/14/13: Former Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw says that he has interest in joining the Jets. The Jets may not be interested right now, but they should be. Incumbent Shown Green is serviceable, but not the force the Jets envisioned he would be. Meanwhile, Bradshaw rushed for 1,015 yards in 14 games last year and is only 27 years old. QB is still the priority for the Jets, but they would be foolish to ignore the opportunity to acquire Bradshaw at this time. For Bradshaw, he would not have to move, making the transition to Gang Green a little bit easier.

2/7/13: Job one for new Jets General Manager John Idzik should not be figuring out the quarterback situation, getting rid of Tim Tebow, or trading Darrelle Revis. It should be restoring credibility to the franchise. When the media speaks of this franchise, they use words like 'circus' or 'laughingstock'. Ridding the team of that stigma should be a priority. Of course, publicly considering bringing back colossal bust JaMarcus Russell does not help matters. Idzik should be taking control of the draft and bring some normalcy back to the havoc that Rex Ryan inexplicably is allowed to continue to wreak.

1/31/13: Media speculation about the Jets reached a new high/low last week, centering around the trade or cut of the Jets best player, cornerback Darelle Revis. When healthy, Revis is the best cornerback in the game. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in a game against Miami last fall, and that is a difficult injury to return from. He has another year on his contract, but may want more money. They Jets have had two contentious contract battles with him and may not want a third. If they are looking to rebuild, they may consider parting ways with Revis and trying to get cap space and draft picks in return.

1/24/13: By trading for Tim Tebow last offseason, the Jets won the press conference. They did not win many games, but they did garner a lot of publicity and beat the Super Bowl Champion Giants off the front page. Of course, Tebow was misused all season and now the Jets want to trade both him and Mark Sanchez. Word is now surfacing that owner Woody Johnson never wanted Tebow, contrary to earlier reports that he pushed for the former Heisman Trophy winner. However, it could be that the team is just trying to save face by pinning the whole mess on former GM Mike Tannenbaum.

1/17/13: It's the time of year where head coaches who had disappointing seasons and are on the hot seat take accountability - by firing their assistants. Such is the case with the Jets, who terminated offensive coordinator Tony Sparano after one season. The Jets offense was laughably bad in the second half of the season while Mark Sanchez regressed. The coaching staff also could not find a suitable use for backup quarterback Tim Tebow, throwing him in occasionally for Wild Cat plays that were far too predictable. The good news for Jets fans - it cannot get worse.

1/10/2013: While Head Coach Rex Ryan somehow kept his job, the collateral damage is beginning to mount. New York fired General Manager Mike Tannenbaum last week, and this week announced that Quarterbacks Coach Matt Cavanaugh will not return. His contract was set to expire in a few weeks and was told on Monday that it would not be renewed. The Jets' QBs famously struggled this year. Starter Mark Sanchez was largely ineffective after the first few weeks and the team rarely used Tim Tebow. Cavanaugh's departure is likely the first of many from the coaching staff, and Offensive Coordinator Tony Sparano was next.

1/3/13: The Jets playoff fate was sealed a few weeks ago in their Monday Night loss at Tennessee, and the team simply went through the motions in their losses to San Diego and Buffalo in their last two games. The Bills avenged a 20 point loss to the Jets in the opening game with a 28-9 routing in Week 17. Both teams finished the season at 6-10 and the Jets will own the 9th selection in the April draft. One person who will not be working on that draft is Mike Tannenbaum, who was fired from his position as the Jets General Manager on Black Monday.

12/27/12: Instead of putting so much attention on who would start and who was benched and who would or would not run the wildcat, the Jets probably would have been better served to work on protection for their quarterback, Greg McElroy. San Diego punished McElroy, sacking him 11 time in the game - Sanchez and Tebow were probably happy to be benched while watching this mayhem. The Jets fell, again, this time 27-17, and the season is all but finished. With only one game remaining, the Jets head to Buffalo, where they will try to earn a seventh win this season.

12/20/12: Everything is falling apart for the Jets. In a Monday Night matchup against the Titans - a game the Jets had to win to keep their inexpicable playoff hopes alive - the offense turned in another awful performance. Mark Sanchez threw four picks and fumbled with less than a minute to play, allowing the Titans to pick up a 14-10 win. Sanchez's time with the Jets may be over. He will not start the next game at home against the Chargers. Instead McElroy gets the nod, even though he has been the third stringer all year and was not activated until midseason.

12/13/2012: The Jets suffered through another game of miserable offense, and again fortunate enough to be matched up against a team that is somehow worse offensively. Last week was the notorious 7-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, and this week was a 17-10 escape out of Jacksonville. The hype at the beginning of the season is that this would be Tebow's return to his hometown Jacksonville as a Jet. But a rib injury has kept him out of the line for the past few weeks. Mark Sanchez passed for 111 yards, which was enough. The Jets now travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans in the Monday Night Game.

12/6/12: While many experts may call the 7-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last week one of the ugliest games they have ever seen, a win is still a win. The big storyline is that Head Coach Rex Ryan finally benched starting quarterback Mark Sanchez. But backup Tim Tebow is out with a rib injury, so in came third-stringer Greg McElroy. McElroy did lead the Jets to a fourth quarter touchdown and the win. Now the controversy is raging on permanently benching Sanchez, but Number 6 will get the start at Jacksonville this coming Sunday, which is where Tebow is from.

9/22/12 ? The New York Jets escaped from Miami with a 23-20 win over the Dolphins. Miami missed a potential game-winning field-goal attempt in overtime and called timeout before Jets kicker Nick Folk?s field goal attempt was blocked. Folk hit his 33-yard field goal attempt soon after that for the win. Jets QB Mark Sanchez finished the day passing for over 300 yards and throwing for a touchdown. Santonio Holmes caught 9 passes for 147 yards including a 38-yard gain that helped set up the game-winning field goal in overtime. Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill finished with 196 yards passing and drove down the field late in the 4th quarter to set up the game-tying field goal and potential game-winner in overtime.

8/10/12 ? For the first time, the New York Jets and the rest of the NFL will see their prized offseason acquisition, quarterback Tim Tebow, on the field. Starting quarterback Mark Sanchez and the first-team offense will play the first quarter and Tebow will take over after that. Tebow will also play on special teams as the personal protector on the punt team and on the offense in a Wildcat package. The number 2 receiver opposite Santonio Holmes is still up for grabs. Patrick Turner, Chaz Schilens, Jeremy Kerley, and rookie Stephen Hill are all in the running for the spot. The backup running back position is also a position the Jets are looking at very closely. Joe McKnight from USC entered camp as the favorite because of his athleticism and experience but is facing some strong competition from Bilal Powell who has been outperforming McKnight at some times during training camp. The most important thing for the Jets will be seeing if the chemistry issues that plagued the team last year still linger. Chemistry issues were the reason why the Jets did not make the playoffs for the first time under head coach Rex Ryan.

With training camp opening on Thursday in Cortland, New York, all eyes turn to the New York Jets and their unique and unprecedented quarterback situation. With starting quarterback Mark Sanchez continuing to assure the media that their never-before-seen two quarterback system is something that they feel will work in their favor, he has momentarily been able to quell the fears of Jets fans everywhere that believe that this experiment is going to backfire. With a lot of attention being paid to backup quarterback Tim Tebow, especially during the first few official days of training camp, this should mean that at least some of the pressure on Mark Sanchez has been alleviated, at least for the time being.

LaDainian Tomlinson's retirement this week left the New York Jets with a pretty sizable hole at the running back position heading into the 2012-2013 NFL season. Going into the season, Tomlinson was listed second on the Jets depth chart at running back behind Shonn Greene. His departure will likely move third-string running back Joe McKnight into the backup position. McKnight showed some flashes of success in limited action last season. The Jets also drafted Baylor running back Terrance Ganaway in the 6th round back in April in the hopes that he might be able to provide a spark for the Jets as they return to their "ground and pound" offensive philosophy.

Earlier this week, New York Jets left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson remarked to members of the media that he's begun to "embrace" Tim Tebow and that his role within the team and around the locker room has become more clearly defined over the last few weeks, despite the media pursuing rumors that his signing has created a quarterback controversy. Also, cornerback Darrelle Revis has told sources that he has not yet made up his mind regarding whether or not he will hold out or report to training camp when it begins later next month.

The New York Jets held the second day of their mandatory team practice on Wednesday in New Jersey and more quarterback controversy seemed to be swirling again as both Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow took snaps at quarterback with the main offensive unit. However, head coach Rex Ryan cleared things up with the media after practice by stating the Tebow was only going to take snaps with the first offense running the Wildcat. The Jets are also requesting that Tebow bulk up slightly in anticipation of his role in the new "ground and pound" Jets offense this coming season.

The New York Jets, who will open their training camp later next month at their facilities in Florham Park, New Jersey, are currently holding their OTAs. With the team practicing in New Jersey, Mark Sanchez is over in California holding his annual "Jets West" passing camp in his home state, which this year will be attended by new Jets backup quarterback/media darling Tim Tebow. Tebow announced last week that he would be heading out to the west coast to work with Sanchez, and it was thought by many to be a move that shows he and Sanchez are working together and that they are getting along as teammates, something that was in doubt during the early days immediately following the Tebow trade.

Contract talks between the New York Jets and their Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis have stalled and Revis has warned the organization that he will hold out again until his contract is renegotiated, much like his holdout during the beginning of the 2010 season that caused him to miss all of training camp and the preseason. Revis has said that he will not commit to camp prior to a deal getting done, and now the Jets will be forced to make a decision on whether or not to restructure his contract now and avoid a preseason distraction, or to allow Revis to hold out and force a repeat of 2010.

5/25/12 Much hoopla was made about New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow making his first appearance in a Jets uniform during the team's offical OTA practice on Thursday. Although the players weren't suited up in much more than a helmet and a t-shirt and shorts, the practice was highly anticipated by many in the New York sports media. However, Tebow's performance was somewhat disappointing as he threw 2 interceptions during his time on the field. The New York Jets will open up their training camp in late July in Florham Park, New Jersey.

5/18/12 The New York Jets recently reached a contract agreement with their first-round draft pick, Quinton Coples, the defensive end from North Carolina. The Jets and Coples agreed to a 4-year guaranteed contract reportedly worth around $9 million. The contract also includes a standard team option for the 5th year. The Jets will hope that Coples can make an immediate impact on the defensive line and spark a pass rush that was nearly non-existent for much of last season. Meanwhile, controversy continues to swirl around the Jets unique quarterback situation, as Tebow has been impressive in mini camps.

5/11/12 The New York Jets began their mini camp this week and will head into the 2012 season with more questions than answers, especially involving the situation with backup quarterback Tim Tebow and how exactly the Jets will utilize him in the offensive scheme. The Jets will also have to address the issue of star cornerback Darrelle Revis and his contract negotiations, as he has stated that he will hold out again if the Jets do not work with him to renegotiation the terms of his contract during this offseason. The Jets will also look to make some moves in free agency.

4/28/12 - In the final day of the NFL Draft, the New York Jets had 5 picks. They had 3 picks in the 6th round and 2 picks in the 7th. With their first pick in the 6th Round the Jets selected Josh Bush a Safety from Wake Forest. Bush adds depth to the Jets secondary. The 5'11, 205 pound Bush played free safety and cornerback for Wake Forest. With their next two picks, the Jets took two players from Baylor University. The first was running back Terrance Ganaway. Ganaway is a power runner at 5'11, 241 pounds. His skill set is a blend of current Jet running backs Shonn Greene and John Connor. He rushed for 1,547 yards and 21 touchdowns as a senior. The next pick Robert Griffin, who shares a name with teammate Robert Griffin III, is a guard. Griffin will shore up the Jets offensive line and help to protect Mark Sanchez. In the 7th Round, the Jets selected Antonio Allen a Safety from South Carolina and Jordan White a Wide Receiver from Western Michigan. Allen (6'1, 210 pounds) was a second- team All-American in his senior year. Jets coaches expect him to fill in on special teams. White was a very productive receiver in college. In his senior year he led the nation with 140 receptions for 1,911 yards and 17 TD's. White (6'0, 208 pounds) adds some more depth to an already deep Jets receiving core.

4/27/12 - The New York Jets had two picks on Day 2 of the NFL Draft. They selected Stephen Hill, a Wide Receiver from Georgia Tech in the 2nd Round (43rd Overall) and Demario Davis, an Outside Linebacker from Arkansas State in the 3rd Round (77th Overall). At 6'4, 215 pounds, Hill has a great chance to start opposite Santonio Holmes when the season begins. Hill had modest numbers with Georgia Tech (49 Catches 1248 yards in 3 years) but he averaged nearly 30 yards per catch and is a great complement to the ground and pound style of play the Jets use. The Jets wanted a big and fast receiver to replace Plaxico Burress. With a 4.31 time at the NFL Combine, Hill can be that guy. Davis, 6'2 and 235 pounds, is an athletic linebacker who can cover tight ends and receivers. Davis can also contribute on special teams. He was one of the top- rated players by Jets Special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff.

5/4/12 The New York Jets may have snagged a hidden gem with their second round draft pick as they selected Georgia Tech wide receiver Stephen Hill, who many draft experts said was one of the top wide receivers in the draft this year. At 6'4", Hill has the kind of size that the Jets have been looking for at wide receiver, someone that can be a consistent red zone target for quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Jets also selected Robert Griffin from Baylor -- no, not that Robert Griffin. The Griffin landed by the Jets is an offensive tackle and was one of two Baylor players they selected in the 6th round.

4/26/12 - The way Rex Ryan wants to win games is through a strong run game and a stingy defense. So it's no surprise that in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft the New York Jets selected Quinton Coples a defensive end from the University of North Carolina. According to former Tampa Bay Bucs coach, Jon Gruden, he has excellent size and athleticism. Though Gruden also added that his effort is inconsistent and that he disappears for stretches during games. ÒHe is a tough kid, hard to move against the runÓ says ESPN Draft Analyst Mel Kiper Jr. The Jets needed a pass rusher and Coples with 24 sacks in 50 games over his career in UNC fills that need.

New York Jets Tickets - Team History

Established in 1959 as the New York Titans, the team was an original member of the American Football League and became the New York Jets in 1963. The franchise was part of the historic merger of the AFL and NFL in 1970. Throughout franchise history, the team has played in a number of venues, notably the Polo Grounds in 1960, Shea Stadium from 1964 through 1984 and the Meadowlands Sports Complex from 1984 through 2010. Currently the team plays in the New Meadowlands Stadium just steps away from the old Meadowlands venue. The Jets first appeared in a playoff game in 1968 and have since appeared in the playoffs thirteen times, and in the AFC Championship game four times, most recently in 2010 where they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers after losing to Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Championship game in 2009. Watch as the Jets continue on their quest to bring the franchise back to Super Bowl glory!

New York Jets Tickets - Season Info

Led by the huge personality of head coach Rex Ryan and dynamic young quarterback Mark Sanchez, the Jets have become one of the elite teams in the NFL with their explosive offense and tenacious defense. The franchise's only Super Bowl victory came in 1968 when Joe Namath led an upset of the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III. With appearances in the AFC Championship in both 2009 and 2010, they are poised to return in the near future. The 2011 off season has been a big one for the Jets. They were unable to acquire prized free agent Nnamdi Asomugha but have resigned Santonio Holmes and Antonio Cromartie. They chose to not resign Braylon Edwards despite his want to be in NY. They did however take a chance with Plaxico who will be returning to NY after being released from prison from shooting himself in the foot. Its going to be an exciting season for the gang green.

New York Jets Tickets - The Players

Rex Ryan talks a lot but his players generally back it up. Its time for Mark Sanchez to play up to par with the best quarterbacks in the league and not leave it to the other players to pick up after he has made a mess. With Santonio Holmes, Antonio Cromartie, Bart Scott and Darelle Revis returning, the Jets have the same make up as last year. This served them well up until the conference championship against the Steelers. This year the Jets also signed Plaxico Burress who could immediately impact the offense and gives Sanchez a large target to throw to down field. No one will be making guarantees as "Broadway" Joe Namath did in the past but this team is fueled and ready to make another run for that a ring.
