Trevor Pryce won't rule out return for Rex

It's clear the Jets need some pass rush help. And apparently, former NFL defensive lineman Trevor Pryce would consider providing that type of lift -- if only Rex Ryan would ask.
Pryce, who retired from the league after the Jets' 2011 AFC title loss to Pittsburgh, penned an article for the New York Times this weekend, in which he described his seemingly mundane life after football.
In it, he poses this question to the Jets head coach: "Rex, do you need a pass rusher next season?"
Pryce played for Baltimore from 2006-2010 and for three of those seasons he was coached by Ryan, who was the Ravens defensive coordinator until he was hired by the Jets in 2009.
Two days after the Raven released Pryce, he signed joined Ryan in Florham Park.
The retired lineman concludes the article by writing: "Don’t cry for me, though. I’m getting used to it slowly and will be content with my new life. That is, until Rex calls."
If you haven't checked it out, you should. It's a pretty good read.
