Hunter Martin/Philadelphia Eagles/Getty ImagesWoodhead last played for the Jets during the 2010 preseason.There was mutual interest, per Reiss, but the Chargers swooped in and wound up signing Woodhead to a two-year contract. The Patriots signed another ex-Jet, Leon Washington, and the Jets signed former Raider Mike Goodson to a three-year, $6.9 million deal.
Re-signing Woodhead would've been a popular move among fans (his departure was a sore subject), but the Jets believe they landed a rising talent in Goodson. They see him as a potential tandem back with Bilal Powell, but some league scouts feel Goodson is a change-of-pace/third-down back.
Woodhead? All he does is make plays.

Sanchez sounds like he's really bought into Mornhinweg's system: "I just really feel like this coaching staff will get the best out of me."

Regardless of who represents him, Geno Smith will sign a four-year contract for $5 million, give or take a few thousand. #wagescale #Jets

I'm wondering if Jay Z makes it to Cortland this summer for training camp. I'm sure he'd be a big hit at Doug's Fish Fry. #Jets

Some perspective required: #Jets are learning new offensive system, WR corps depleted, defense always ahead of offense this early.

Early thought on #Jets QB comp: Ugh. Sanchez 6-for-11, 3 INTs, 1 sack. (1 INT may have been a sack.) Geno Smith 3-for-10, 1 INT, 1 sack
