FLORHAM PARK, NJ – Out with the old, in with, well, a few guys.

These moves were necessary not just to clear up cap…
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – General manager Mike Maccagnan took my advice (okay, not really but he at least agreed with the advice I gave him that he never actually saw/heard) and has decided to burn everything down and start what will/should be a slow, methodical rebuild.

With most starters getting the night off, including quarterbacks Geno Smith and Mark Sanchez, the Jets won the “Back-up Bowl,” 27-20, on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium. A rough first series aside, quarterback Matt Simms did a lot to improve his roster stock against the Eagles’ back-ups, going 33-44 with 285…
Florham Park, NJ—The Jets are being quiet these days. Soft-spoken Mike Goodson, who returned to the team facility today after being away for the past month “handling some personal stuff,” stayed in line with the approach, keeping it short and sweet with the media. Goodson also prefers to forgo the blah, blah, blah with his…
