Jets Cut DT Howard Green; Expect to Re-Sign Him Monday
The Jets have cut DT Howard Green today, but according to a league source, Green will re-sign with the team on Monday after the Bills game.
Green and WR Santonio Holmes will both be added to the Jets roster on Monday, meaning there will be two roster moves, possibly BOTH David Clowney, and Patrick Turner.
I’d expect the Ravens to make a run at Green, after what happened this morning, should be interesting.
This move guarantees Trevor Pryce will be active, and he’ll likely see a good amount of snaps in Buffalo on Sunday.
BREAKING: Confirmed – Jets sign ex-Ravens DL Trevor Pryce
I can confirm that the Jets have signed recently cut Ravens DL Trevor Pryce, not a shock, Pryce is a NY native and knows Rex’s system very well.
Pryce was cut yesterday by the Ravens in order to make room for S Ken Hamlin, although Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said Pryce would most likely be back, I take it Pryce was a little upset, and saw a good fit in NY with Rex Ryan.
Also, just saw Ravens LB Terrell Suggs’ twitter account, he released the following statement. “kinda sad 2day. my boy trevor pryce signed wit the JETS!!!!!” Suggs wrote on his Twitter account. “happy for him but would rather he be on my team!!!!!

As usual, Nick got this scoop before anyone, even before Schefter. There’s nothing better as a Jets fan than waking up late, finding out a big Jets story, and seeing that my man Nick broke the story and got it up on Jets Report. Good stuff, Nick.
Pryce is a great addition to this Jets defensive line. Clearly the Ravens did not want to lose him, they cut him to get an extra DB on the roster this week and probably would’ve re-signed Pryce on Monday morning. The Jets did something similar before the week 1 games vs the Ravens, ironically enough. If you remember, the Jets cut Tony Richardson to make room for Darrelle Revis, then they re-signed Richardson and cut CB Brian Jackson the next day. Sidenote, Jackson is now on the Giants active roster.
This is what happens when you cut a guy with the intention of keeping him around later in the season. Of course, the NFL is a business, and teams try to do anything they can to get an edge, even if that means temporarily cutting a guy you intend to have later. Rex Ryan smelled blood, and Pryce loved playing for him in Baltimore. The Ravens now are caught with their pants down and the Jets got a steal.
My goodness, our defense will be scary when everyone’s at full strength. Welcome to New York, Trevor.
RantSports.com’s Power Rankings for Week 4
Turning the page from week 3 to week 4, Rant Sports has posted their Power Rankings for the upcoming week 4 games.
The Jets are slowly climbing up the rankings, up to number seven this week after being number eight the week before.
The Jets have a chance to go to 3-0 in divisional play if they can beat the Bills on the road this week, a game I’m happy to say that I will be attending.
I’ve never attended an NFL game in person, but I will be there at Ralph Wilson Stadium, dressed in my Jets gear, cheering on Gang Green in front of thousands of angry Bills fans. Should be exciting.
The Bills rank dead last in the Power Rankings again this week, so this will be a classic trap game for the Jets. Hopefully, they treat it seriously and make sure they don’t let an easy win slip through their fingers.
Rant Sports TV: Top 5 Headlines from Week 3
Yes, it’s Wednesday and I am a little late to be posting Week 3 reviews, but hey why not?
Aaron and Brett from Rant Sports TV are back with the top five headlines from week 3 in the NFL. There’s a few surprise 3-0 teams, including one who had a huge win on Monday Night Football.
Check it out.
QB Trent Edwards claimed by Jaguars; Jets were interested.
Recently cut Buffalo Bills QB Trent Edwards was awarded to the Jacksonville Jaguars this afternoon, a day after he was cut.
The Jaguars have a big hole at the QB position, with David Garrard playing terribly to start the season, the other team that put in a waiver claim for the QB, was in fact the New York Jets, not much else is known, if they were signing him to pick his brain for the upcoming game Sunday, or they felt he had some promise as a backup QB. Either way, he is now a Jaguar.
Other roster news, Hard Knock and Preseason Favorite RB Chauncy Washington was signed off the Jets practice squad, and was placed on the St.Louis Rams 53 Man roster, many felt Washington should have been the Jets 3rd RB on the roster, but was cut on the final day of roster cuts in August, and signed to the practice squad a day later. Washington has to be on the Rams roster for 3 days, otherwise he is sent back to the Jets Practice squad, best of luck Chauncy.
