Mark Brunell heading for the Jets?
The final four playoff teams are eligible today to sign free agent players. Look for the New York Jets to possibly sign veteran QB Mark Brunell to a contract today. Brunell will serve and Mark Sanchez’s back up.
The Jets had brought Brunell in for talks earlier this summer but were unable to sign him at that time. Brunell’s former team, the New Orleans Saints are expected to sign veteran journeyman QB Patrick Ramsey on Thursday as well.

New York Jets DT Kris Jenkins thought about retiring this offseason. It appears that head coach Rex Ryan was able to bring Jenkins back from the edge and play another season as Jenkins recovers from his second major knee surgery.
This offseason, Ryan put down a challenge in the spirit of the tv show, The Biggest Loser, and challenged Kris Jenkins and Damien Woody to a weight loss contest. Jenkins has always had to deal with weight issues while he’s played has undertaken a concerted effort to shed some pounds this offseason. In fact, Jenkins is now endorsing “The Cookie Diet”.
Jenkins has told the media that he is starting to get tired of playing football, but is looking forward to returning this season saying, “At this point. it’s all about that ring. That’s what’s left to play for”.

The New York Jets have signed second round draft selection OG Vladimir Ducasse. Ducasse, 6’4 330, is expected to replaced veteran guard Alan Faneca who is now in Arizona with the Cardinals. The Jets received some criticism over releasing Faneca this offseason and expecting a rookie to replace him in an offensive line which produced the best rushing attack in the league last season.
The deal is a 4 year contract with a reported 3.25 million and a 1 million dollar signing bonus.

Tomlinson issues Namath-esque Guarantee
[picappgallerysingle id="3221619"]
New York Jets RB LaDainian Tomlinson has proclaimed that the New York Jets “absolutely” will win a Super Bowl in the next two years. Tomlinson, 31, is trying to prove skeptics wrong about how useful he can be for the Jets in 2010. San Diego decided not to offer Tomlinson a new contract when he bacme a free agent this past off season.
Several reports out of team OTA’s have stated that Tomlinson looks flat and no longer has the burst he once possessed. That doesn’t deter Tomlinson though, “I think I’m tired of being doubted by so many people about what I can’t do”, Tomlinson told reporters.
Personally, I think the Jets made a serious mistake by allowing Thomas Jones to leave and bringing in Tomlinson. Jets fan better hope that Shonn Greene can shoulder the majority of the load in 2010 and that Tomlinson is simply used sparingly.
