Less than two months ago, Joe Namath ripped the Jets for their stunning trade for Tim Tebow -- a move the Hall of Fame quarterback believed sent the wrong message to their young starter Mark Sanchez.
Well, Namath has again changed his tune. Again.
The man who led the Jets to their one and only Super Bowl title, said Tuesday night that he fully supports the Tebow trade, adding that "whatever...

Sorry fans, but the Jets are out of "Hard Knocks" contention.
A league source confirmed Friday that the team was approached a few weeks by HBO to be featured on their training camp reality TV show, but declined the invitation.
Their reasoning makes sense.
The Jets also declined in 2009 because it was Rex Ryan's first season as head coach. This year, their rationale was...

“As far as my role, I’m the starting right tackle, that’s as simple as it is,” he said, following Thursday’s offseason...

That basically was the gist of Sanchez’s spiel after Thursday’s offseason conditioning workout.
“It’s been nothing but positive to this point and...

Darrelle Revis was at the Jets’ training facility today taking part in the offseason workouts. That’s the good sign. The bad sign? That he would not commit to being in Cortland for the start of training camp in July under his current contract.
“I can’t sit here and answer that question,” Revis said when asked if he will hold out, as he did before the 2010 season. “Right now I’m here and I’m...
