Jets rookie quarterback has not impressed early in OTA's

Christian Hackenberg has not been too impressive

There was a lot of love for Christian Hackenberg before the NFL Draft, while I was not a really big fan.  Well he has not been very impressive in OTA’s either according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

According to ESPN’s Rich Cimini, Hackenberg has looked “like a typical rookie” during OTAs thus far – that is to say sloppy and inexperienced. Cimini describes his footwork as “robotic” and said his passes are prone to missing high and being inaccurate.

Coach Todd Bowles isn’t worried about his rookie, but admitted he is sloppy.

Jets have signed offensive lineman Mike Liedtke; Team releases Luke Marquardt

The New York Jets announced that they’ve placed OT Luke Marquardt on waivers to make room for G Mike Liedtke.

Liedtke, is a 6-foot-3, 310-pound guard/tackle from Woodstock spent the past year on both the Dolphins and Chiefs practice squads. The former Illinois State lineman from 2011-2014 was a versatile starter along the line in college, playing extensively at both left guard and tackle his last two collegiate seasons.

Ryan Fitzpatrick better call the #Jets before they move on; Brian Hoyer expected to visit

Ryan Fitzpatrick better hurry up and make a decision

Right now Ryan Fitzpatrick is holding out from the New York Jets hoping to land a big paycheck, but his leverage is starting to dwindle.  According to Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports, the Jets are now expressing interest in Brian Hoyer. They would really like to get Ryan Fitzpatrick back, but if the price is not right, they may be forced to move on.

Also, Jets have interest in Brian Hoyer, as they did a year ago. Very likely to schedule a visit with him soon, quite possibly this week

Manish Mehta is reporting that Ryan Fitzpatrick is still the Jets number one priority, but the Jets to in fact have interest in Hoyer. I wonder what the Jets will do. Will Ryan Fitzpatrick come crawling back, or will he continue to play hard ball?

The Jets could use Dowling, because he can play multiple positions. You can read his interview with Dowling here.

Could the #Jets trade Mo Wilkerson to the #Buccaneers for Mike Glennon?

Mo Wilkerson for Mike Glennon? Would you do the trade?

The New York Jets have put themselves in an interesting position with Mo Wilkerson and they do not have a quarterback.  The Jets have been patiently waiting for Ryan Fitzpatrick to come down on his price and now the Jets may be starting to panic.  According to Brain Costello of the New York Post, the Jets are actively shopping Mo Wilkerson and one trade partner could be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

There is skepticism around the league as to whether the Jets can find a trade partner who will be willing to surrender the draft picks the Jets are looking for (the starting price surely includes a first-round pick in this year’s draft) and agree to the contract Wilkerson is looking for (more than $50 million guaranteed).

There is a possibility the Jets could try to acquire a player to lessen the draft-pick compensation. With Ryan Fitzpatrick still a free agent, it could make sense for them to target Buccaneers quarterback Mike Glennon in a deal involving Wilkerson.

If I was the Buccaneers I would make this trade. They can always sign a back-up like Brian Hoyer to James Winston, but you cannot find a Pro Bowl defensive lineman like Wilkerson.  I think this is a good deal. What do you think?

#Jets have re-signed LB Erin Henderson to a two year deal worth up to 5 million

Jets have given linebacker Erin Henderson a two year deal

Erin Henderson should have been named come back player of the year, after he sat out for a year and came back and became a staple in the Jets defense.  Henderson is a good veteran player who really stepped up for the Jets last season. 

Today the team rewarded him for his amazing performance by giving him a deal worth 5 million over the next two years.

LB Erin Henderson is re-upping with the #Jets, source said. It’s 2 years, worth up to $5 million.
