An interview with:

JAY FIEDLER

RON COLANGELO: Thanks for joining us. We would like to announce today that the New York Jets have signed quarterback Jay Fiedler.

At this time I'd like to introduce Jay. We'd like to open it up for questions.

Q. What does it mean to kind of come back home and be able to play with a team you grew up rooting for?

JAY FIEDLER: Well, I'm excited. You know, my career's really come full circle now. You know, this is going to be my 10th year in the NFL; it will be my fifth team. Finally making it back home.

Q. Welcome home.

JAY FIEDLER: Thank you.

Q. Talk about this situation obviously knowing that Chad is here, but his situation might be up in the air with his recovery. Aside from coming home, what made this an enticing situation for you?

It's a great story. Him growing up as a Jets fan and now becoming a Jet. He actually reminds me alot of Pat Ryan. Kind of same the guy in many ways.

I've never been a big fan of Fiedlers. Always thought he was just an average QB but he's a very good and smart person.

As a paranoid Jets fan. I am wondering if he knows something about Chad Pennington's shoulder that we don't.

You never know, Fiedler could start this season as The Jets starter. It's amazing that Pennington played with that injury,.
