Safety Yeremiah Bell came to terms with the Jets today on a 1-year $1.4m contract with a fully-guaranteed base salary of $1.1m. The move follows the earlier Free Agency addition of LaRon Landry and the addition of Josh Bush and Antonio Allan in the late rounds of the NFL Draft.

Jets’ 2012 Schedule Released

As the clock struck midnight and 18th April arrived, the NFL released the full schedule of games for the 2012 season, throwing up a host of questions, leading to significant speculation, procrastination and conspiracy theories.

Much of the talk is premature, as rosters still lie incomplete, the draft has to take place and the second wave of Free Agency is in front of us, but there are matters of fact that can be analysed which will hold true regardless of the quality of opponents lining up.

Drew Stanton Traded to Colts

The Drew Stanton Era is over. It’s true folks, the run has come to an end. On a positive note, we will always have the memories of his historic play, his poise in the face of overwhelming odds and his whiny faced moaning when things didn’t go his way.

Why Tebow as a Jet Makes Sense

Long after the ’this was dumb’ brigade malaise into ‘let’s see what happens’, long after the bi-polar Jets fan base who both love and hate the prospect of Tebow, as they both loved and hated the idea of adding Peyton Manning, take a step back and breathe our newest neophyte quarterback will take the field in the green and white and do so to a rapturous welcome.

Tim Tebow is a New York Jet

The Jets have acquired Tim Tebow in exchange for a fourth round draft pick. The teams also exchanged late-round draft choices, with Denver flipping it’s 7th round choice to New York for the Jets’ 6th round selection. It is anticipated that the Jets may be in line to recover at least a 7th, if not a 6th round choice from the Dwight Lowery trade last year and with as many as four compensatory picks to be allocated, the Jets could well have up to ten choices when draft day(s) rolls around.

Jets sign LaRon Landry

The Jets made their first ripples in the Free Agency last night as former Washington Redskins safety LaRon Landry put pen to paper on a one-year ‘prove it’ deal worth a reported $4million. Landry fills an apparent void at the safety spot, but whether he will partner incumbent Eric Smith or replace him alongside an as yet unidentified colleague remains to be determined. However it works out, the indications are that the Jets will be better at that spot than in 2011.

Jets sign Schilens, Stanton

The Jets announced today that they have agreed to contracts with former Detroit Lions quarterback Drew Stanton and wide receiver Chaz Schilens, most recently with the Oakland Raiders.

Each man will slot in as the second option at his position. Stanton was a second round pick of the Lions in 2007, but lost his role as their quarterback of the future when they used the first overall pick in 2009 on Matthew Stafford, coming off a terrible 0-16 season in 2007.
