flgreen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Holmes: Attendant caused flight flap Jets Blog By MARK CANNIZZARO Last Updated: 3:32 AM, May 21, 2010 Posted: 3:32 AM, May 21, 2010 Comments: 0 | More Print Jets receiver Santonio Holmes today spoke for the first time since the airline altercation he was involved in last month and said he felt he was unfairly treated by a flight attendant because of who he is. "I just felt like I was being scrutinized just for who I am," Holmes said. "The stewardess was not working in the back of the airplane where I was sitting. She came to the back and addressed me to take my iPod off and turn it off. I turned it off, but as she walked away she said she still heard music. "I took my headphones off and put them to the lady next to me's ear and said, 'Ma'am, do you hear any music?' She addressed, 'No sir.' I put my headphones back on and went to sleep and when I got off the airplane the police were standing outside waiting for me." Holmes said he was treated unfairly because the incident occurred in Pittsburgh, where he used to play. "I honestly think it was -- flying back to Pittsburgh for the first time since being here in New Jersey," he said. "She definitely was just trying to make a name for herself, because she actually was the one that went to media and reported it. Nobody else did."

flgreen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Jets send early message to Santonio Jets Blog Last Updated: 6:09 AM, May 21, 2010 Posted: 3:33 AM, May 21, 2010 Comments: 0 | More Print George Willis Follow George on Twitter Blog: By George If Santonio Holmes didn't understand how seriously the Jets take their practices, even in the offseason, one play during yesterday's team drills should have gotten his attention. His assignment on the particularly play was to come out to the flat and block All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis. No big deal right? Except Revis never feels like being blocked. Not in a game. Not in practice. So instead of absorbing Holmes' soft hit, Revis delivered his own blow, knocking the former Super Bowl MVP flat on his rear end. Welcome to the Jets. "He tried to block me and I kind of moved him out of the way," Revis said with smile. "I told him I was sorry afterward." Actually, Revis wasn't all that sorry. And after the initial shock of getting decked, Holmes didn't seem to mind either. "The more you do to me and the harder I work the better we all become,'' Holmes said. "From what I've been accustomed to in Pittsburgh, it's a lot different with these guys. They're willing to work hard. There are no short cuts during practice and that's what I like." Maybe it's just me, but Revis' blow seemed to have more meaning than just an accidental collision. It was as if he wanted to send a message to the newly acquired receiver about how the Jets do things. Though coach Rex Ryan might run a loose camp, the intensity during the practices is expected to be at a high level even in May. "The new guys will see on the field how we do things here," tackle Damien Woody said. "It's all part of the process. It's understandable if the Jets want to make sure they get Holmes' full attention. They know he comes with baggage. He was acquired from the Steelers for a fifth-round draft pick largely because he fell out of favor after four seasons in Pittsburgh for his numerous off-the-field transgressions. When there's talk of the Jets signing guys with character issues for the sake of selling PSL's, Holmes' name usually is mentioned. He recently was suspended for the four first games of the upcoming season after violating the league's substance abuse policy, and earlier this month he was escorted off an airplane in Pittsburgh for being a "disruptive" passenger stemming from an incident involving his iPod. This winter, Holmes was reportedly involved in an altercation in a Florida nightclub, where he was accused of throwing a glass at a woman. That followed a domestic violence incident in 2006 and a 2008 arrest for possession of marijuana. It's certainly not a good reflection on Holmes' character when after the trade with the Jets, Steelers president Art Rooney II said: "Clearly, Santonio is a very talented football play, but his multiple violations of league policies and the additional off-the-field problems led us to conclude that it would be in the best interest of our organization to part ways.'' Holmes didn't seem very remorseful yesterday. He blamed the iPod incident on being "scrutinized" by an attention-seeking flight attendant. "I just felt I was being scrutinized just for who I am," Holmes said. "Flying back to Pittsburgh for the first time since being here in New Jersey. She definitely just tried to make a name for herself because she actually was the one who went to the media and reported it. Nobody else did." Otherwise, he sounded like he is simply happy to have a fresh start with a new team. "I felt like I was a kid on the first day of school," he said of his first full practice with the team earlier in the week. "I kept waking up in the middle of the night eager to get out here and get on the field with these guys and practice and have fun. It's a sense of relief in that I can start over as a rookie and I'm willing to accept that challenge.'' The Jets seem willing to give Holmes a fresh start if he's willing to focus on football while on the field and be a good citizen off of it. Maybe that's the message Revis was trying to deliver. george.willis@nypost.com Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/jets/jets_send_early_message_to_santonio_82gczrDWm4WCjj53kPAknI?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME=#ixzz0oZJMryQa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Jets' Ellis ticked he didn't get an extension Jets Blog By MARK CANNIZZARO Last Updated: 5:58 AM, May 21, 2010 Posted: 3:34 AM, May 21, 2010 Comments: 0 | More Print Shaun Ellis still is steaming about the Jets spurning his attempt to get a contract extension, but he said yesterday he expects to remain with the team this season. "The fact is that it's the last year of my deal and it's time to get an extension," the Jets veteran defensive end told The Post. "I tried to work something out and they basically told me, 'No,' and they're making me play it out." Ellis conceded that this "[ticks] me off." "I've done a lot in this league and I have a lot more to do," he said. "My numbers speak for themselves. I feel definitely that I have produced and I've been producing for a long time." Neil Miller TAYLOR MADE: Former Dolphin Jason Taylor, at practice yesterday with the Jets, said his first few days with his new team "were a little strange." He said he's "frustrated" when he hears that he's injury prone after suffering a broken bone in his hand last year. "Then on top of that they bring up what happened two years ago [his marijuana arrest]," he said. "I dealt with that. I handled it, let it go. Focus on the good things I've been doing instead of putting me in a negative light." Ellis said he was stung by trade rumors with his name attached. "At first I was a little worried about it, but now I'm just like, '[bleep] it," he said. "I'm just going to go play. I want to be here and I think I'm going to be here, just because of the personnel (the Jets are thin on the defensive line). I want to finish my career here." * Left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson, who was Mark Sanchez' "plus-one" guest at the White House state dinner Wednesday night, said the experience was "something I'll remember forever." "You meet one of the most powerful men in the world [President Obama] and it humbles you," Ferguson said. "It just felt right to take a teammate and someone who was interested," Sanchez said. "I know 'Brick' is into politics and he looks like a governor." Center Nick Mangold said jokingly that "2032 is the year of Brick in the White House." Asked what his first reaction was when he heard Sanchez was invited to the White House, right guard Brandon Moore said: "Why not me?" Sanchez said the rest of the offensive line gave him a hard time yesterday, saying, "Why couldn't you bring all of us?' " * New linebacker Jason Taylor said his first few days with the Jets "were a little strange." "But they've made it so welcoming and so easy to make a transition, it's gone pretty well," he said. Taylor, asked about his role with the Jets, said he just wants to contribute to an already-strong defense. "They have a good thing going here," he said. "They were No. 1 in defense last year. I don't want to mess it up. I just want to add to it, and do what I can to help this team. Whatever that may be, show me the way and I'll go do it." He called the atmosphere under coach Rex Ryan compared with the Bill Parcells regime in Miami, "like night and day." "Everything here is a little more relaxed," he said. "It's whole different vibe in building. I don't want to call it relaxed like its lackadaisical, but it's a little more positive and little more calm. "Rex's attitude and enthusiasm trickles down. What I thought would be a tough transition has been seamless." Taylor is two lockers away from Ferguson, with whom he has had some good battles. "I remember when he came in as a rookie, and I was trying to abuse him and getting him going to see if I could get a personal foul on him," Taylor said. Taylor said he's not even trying to pry his old No. 99 jersey number from Bryan Thomas "because I have too much respect for 'BT.' " He's going with No. 95 in honor of his former Dolphins teammate Tim Bowens, whom he called, "instrumental in my career and special to me." * Ryan said there should be no question whether the NFL's showcase event should be played at the new Meadowlands Stadium in 2014. The league's owners are voting on the site next week at their meetings in Dallas. "The game should be played here," Ryan said, "and it would be a great Super Bowl." If the owners vote in favor of the joint bid by the Jets and Giants, it would be the first Super Bowl to be played outdoors in a cold-weather locale. Miami and Tampa, Fla., which have hosted 14 Super Bowls between them, also bid. "I don't see how it's not played here," Ryan said. "The weather, if your team is not built to play in those conditions, that's too bad. I'd just as soon play all those games up north." -- with AP Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/jets/ellis_raw_deal_Aq1AmTEbPV7M1Z94CRAk4J?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME=#ixzz0oZJuONtH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Jets QB's star rises after visit to White House Jets Blog By MARK CANNIZZARO Last Updated: 9:00 AM, May 21, 2010 Posted: 3:35 AM, May 21, 2010 Comments: 4 | More Print In the span of a mercurial year, Mark Sanchez has gone from a wide-eyed rookie quarterback out of USC to being drafted fifth overall to leading the Jets to within 30 minutes of the Super Bowl to Page Six regular. For his latest act, Sanchez has now been to the White House, where he was an invited guest at Wednesday night's state dinner hosted by President Obama. Now Sanchez would like to make a return visit to the White House and be a tour guide for his coaches and teammates when they return as Obama's guest as Super Bowl champions. "That was my frame of mind almost the entire time while I was trying to enjoy everything," Sanchez said yesterday. "I knew we were kind of scoping out this territory and we're coming back in February [as Obama's Super Bowl champion guests]. That's in back of your head. Now 'Brick' [D'Brickashaw Ferguson] and I will know where to go and we'll lead guys right on through on the tour." Neil Miller BACK TO WORK: Mark Sanchez, who attended a White House state dinner Wednesday, throws a pass during 7-on-7 drills yesterday. The charmed life Sanchez has led has been some kind of magical tour. The life as a starting quarterback in New York, one that comes with GQ Magazine shoots, appearances on the gossip pages and now rubbing elbows with the President and First Lady has not gone to Sanchez's head, which is something that endears him to his teammates. HOLMES ON IPOD FLIGHT FLAP REX SEES SUPER CITY IN 2014 The humble Sanchez, in fact, could have easily used the White House visit to blow off the charity marathon golf outing that teammate Brandon Moore hosted on Wednesday in New Jersey, but he kept his commitment and spent two hours there visiting with some terminally-ill cancer patients. "That shows you what kind of guy he is," Moore, the Jets soft-spoken right guard, said. "I feel incredibly fortunate," Sanchez said. "I count my blessings every day. It's a special position to be in. Right now is the time of year when you get to do some charity work helping guys on the team. And when you go to these events you see how fortunate you are. You meet youngsters terminally ill with cancer and on this one day they get to meet the New York Jets. "The icing on the cake is you get to go White House get to meet the President and the President of Mexico and his wife, who happens to be a huge Jets fan. We were in the welcoming line with the presidents and their wives and the first Lady of Mexico has a Sanchez jersey and pulls it out of her purse. Everyone was taken aback, like wow. It was pretty special." Right tackle Damien Woody said that not even a previous star quarterback he used to block for, Tom Brady, has been invited to a state dinner with the President. "That's pretty big," Woody said, referring to both Sanchez's experience Wednesday and his increasing profile as a star off the field. "It's great for him. I'm sure it's an experience he's never going to forget. "Now," Woody went on, "when it comes time to playing ball, now you've got to go out and get it done. You add pressure, there are more bricks on the pile. That's what happens." Woody and Sanchez's other teammates said they believe he has the makeup to handle it all. "After last year the way he handled things as a rookie in the biggest market in world on the biggest stage and the games he had and stood up to, he's pretty much set in that regard," Moore said. Moore said he loves the fact that his quarterback is a high-profile star. "Everyone likes a little rock star status," Moore said. "I want my quarterback to be like that. That's why you play quarterback. I like being a part of it. That's what your quarterback should be, because he's the CEO of the team, of the players." Center Nick Mangold said Sanchez' ability to handle this all -- on and off the field -- "is one of the reasons we have him on our team, one of the reasons why we drafted him." "Our people saw that he was going to be able to handle it," Mangold said. "Coming to New York as a quarterback can be a love fest or a blood bath, and you've got to be able to handle both of them. Even at a young age, he handles it." mark.cannizzaro@nypost.com Read more: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/jets/sanchez_an_lister_i73t60clN7cQGTrLYSJveL?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME=#ixzz0oZKH18mQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Jets' Revis wants to corner market but not for $20M per year Jets Blog By MARK CANNIZZARO Last Updated: 9:03 AM, May 21, 2010 Posted: 3:36 AM, May 21, 2010 Comments: 2 | More Print Darrelle Revis isn't looking for $20 million per year in his new contract, but he did say yesterday that he's looking to become the highest-paid cornerback in the league. In his first comments since a Monday report claimed that he was seeking more than $20 million per year, the Jets cornerback shot down the report as "false." But, when asked by The Post if he expects to become the highest-paid cornerback, Revis said, "I think that is fair. I have talked to coach [Rex] Ryan and [general manager Mike] Tannenbaum and they believe I should be the highest paid player at my position. They understand that and I understand that. HOLMES ON IPOD FLIGHT FLAP REX SEES SUPER CITY IN 2014 "I don't think anybody would want to settle for less if they were in my situation right now. It's going to get done. This is family to me. The Jets are family to me and I trust them and respect them and I hope they would do the same." If the Jets do grant Revis his wish it would mean he would be paid at least as much as Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who signed a three-year, $45.3 million deal last year and averages $15.1 million. Nevertheless, Revis denied the report that he was seeking $20 million. "I don't know where the $20 million came from," he said. "It's just false information. I'm not looking for $20 million a year. I never said that. I'm sure it's not going to be up in that area. That's insane. "It would be great. Who wouldn't want $20 million? That would be lovely. I wish I could make $20 million a year, but that's not going to happen. Let's just bring it back to reality." When asked about the promise he said last week the Jets made to him that he would have a new contract by training camp, Revis said, "Those are not my words, those are the Jets' words. They promised that they were going to get it done before training camp." Revis acknowledges the fact his agents, Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, also represent two former Jets players, guard Pete Kendall and tight end Chris Baker. Both left the Jets after ugly contract disputes claiming the Jets broke a promise. "I don't want it to get like that," he said. "Hopefully we'll work it out before training camp." And if it isn't? Will he hold out? "I wish I could answer that question," Revis said. "Right now I'm just focusing on being here at the OTAs [organized team activities]. I told them I wasn't going to hold out in OTAs, that I wanted to be here as one of the leaders on this team. As of right now, I'm not even thinking about [holding out in training camp]. I'm focusing on trying to get to the Super Bowl." Revis, who's due to make $1 million this year, said the Jets sent over a proposal to his agents last week and they're "digesting it." "They sent a proposal over and we'll look it over and go from there," he said. "If everything is right and the numbers are right, I'll sign on the dotted line. If not, we'll have to negotiate more. "I just want to make this as positive as I can," Revis added. "I don't want it to get messy. I want to do it the right way and I think the Jets are trying to do that, too." Revis did sound concerned about a perception of him being greedy after the false $20 million report. "I don't want to be looked at as that person," he said. "I'm not that type of guy."

flgreen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Jets hold Sanchez to 7-on-7 Jets Blog By MARK CANNIZZARO Last Updated: 8:59 AM, May 21, 2010 Posted: 3:37 AM, May 21, 2010 Comments: 0 | More Print Mark Sanchez, who continues to participate on a limited basis in the Jets' organized team activities (OTAs), is pushing for more action. But the Jets coaching and medical staffs are pushing back, playing it safe with his surgically repaired knee. Right now, Sanchez is working in 7-on-7 drills throwing the ball, but is not doing any full team 11-on-11 work -- something he's itching to do. "I'm trying," Sanchez said after today's workout. "I'm asking every day and it's a stern, 'No,' immediately. But that's the kind of mentality you want the coaches to have in that they're protecting me, and that's the kind of mentality the coaches want me to have -- that I'm aggressive and want to play. "It's not worth taking a chance. What if someone falls or I have to move too quick and am not ready for it yet? So we're taking it slow and being smart." Sanchez said he "feels really good." "The most important thing is trusting your leg," he said. "There's a mental recovery to this, too, a psychological side, telling yourself you're fine, ready to come back, that I'm OK, to step on your foot, put all weight on it and let those throws go. The first two days I got my feet under me and today I felt better." Asked if he will be able to move into full team drills for the June 14-16 minicamp, which Sanchez said has been his goal, he said, "I don't know how I'll feel in next couple of weeks. I do know I'm feeling better every day. I haven't had any regressions and that's huge." There, however, is more work to do. "I haven't tried to sprint, haven't tried to scramble and I haven't had to move in the pocket real quickly," Sanchez said. "In 7-on-7s the drop is pretty scripted. That would be the only question left -- the reaction time and quickness." Coach Rex Ryan said today that he doesn't "feel comfortable right now" having Sanchez practice fully. "I don't want to risk that right now, because you've got bodies flying around," Ryan said. "I think we just need to stay on the course and in due time he'll be out there. We all know he's going to be ready to roll. It's just that we don't need to have any setbacks."

flgreen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Ex-Dolphin Taylor transitioning to life with Jets Story Discussion Font Size:Default font sizeLarger font size By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. | Posted: Friday, May 21, 2010 3:36 am | No Comments Posted Jason Taylor is still getting used to wearing green and white. After all, the New York Jets' newest pass rusher was once despised by some of the guys in the locker room he now calls home. "Yeah, it's weird," the former Miami Dolphins star said Thursday after his second practice with the Jets. "The first few days, it was a little strange. Putting the jersey on for the first time (Tuesday) was a little different. But at the end of the day, they've made it so welcoming and so easy to make that transition." The NFL's active sacks leader spent 12 of his 13 seasons in Miami, and was hoping for an offer from the Dolphins that never came. After carefully weighing his options, Taylor did what he once considered the unthinkable: He signed a two-year deal with the rival Jets. "The guys have been great and really embraced me and made me feel welcome despite the past history," he said. "So it's been a good time." Taylor was on the other side of one of the NFL's most intense rivalries, and had a contentious relationship with fans in New York. He called them ignorant and classless, and said their "J-E-T-S!" chant was "dumb." Taylor was also involved in a pregame skirmish with former Jets safety Kerry Rhodes in November. "I never really had a problem with Taylor," defensive end Shaun Ellis said. "I mean, he played for the Dolphins, but I never went up against him. You have to understand our locker room is really tight and we embrace anybody that comes in. He's wearing green and white now, so he's a Jet." Linebacker Calvin Pace acknowledged having looked up to Taylor early in his career. "I never told him this, man, but I am a fan," Pace said. "He's a guy who made it and kind of paved the way for me as far as I'm not the biggest guy in the world, so he helped me get my start a little bit." Taylor is honoring his Dolphins past with his new No. 95 Jets jersey. His usual No. 99 is being worn by veteran linebacker Bryan Thomas, so Taylor opted to go with the number of former Miami teammate Tim Bowens. "He was really instrumental in my career and special to me," Taylor said. "He's probably the most unselfish player I've ever played with and underrated player I ever played with. He's a really good guy." Jets left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson has had the tough task of having to block Taylor for the past few seasons. Now, the two are a few lockers apart. "I remember he came in as a rookie and I was trying to abuse him," Taylor recalled, "and trying to get him going a little bit and see if I could get a personal foul on him and all that." Ferguson said that's all in the past now, although it doesn't make Taylor immune from some ribbing. "We had him break it down in the weight room today and we thought he was going to say, 'Dolphins!'" Ferguson said with a laugh. "You have a chance to play with so many different individuals in this league, and the way the league works, you are probably going to see a lot of changes. It's good when you can play against a guy you have a lot of respect for and now he is a part of your plans." Coach Rex Ryan spent a good chunk of the offseason trying to persuade Taylor to join the Jets. He envisions him as a pass-rushing force who could move around in the defense as a hybrid outside linebacker-defensive end. "I've done it before and had a good year with it in 2006, so I'm all for it," said Taylor, referring to the season in which he won the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award. Taylor is still recovering from offseason surgery on his right shoulder and has been limited during the first set of organized team activities. "It's funny (because) yesterday we had him out there and we're going through some individual drills, he comes off and lights somebody up, 'I just got a little excited,'" Ryan said. "I want to slow him down, proceed with caution and teach him the defense first. He's itching to go, though. He'll be ready for training camp, without question." Taylor agreed that there's no reason to rush back and risk further injury, so he's taking it slow for now. He'll keep doing what he can on the field in the meantime, while becoming acquainted with Ryan's defense and the terminology. "It will take a little time to learn it, but I'll be fine by the time we kick this thing off," said Taylor, who added that the atmosphere around the Jets is "night and day" compared to that of the Dolphins under Bill Parcells. "I don't want to call it relaxed like it's lackadaisical," he said, "but it's a little more positive and a little more calm." Taylor welcomes that change, the way his new teammates have with their former enemy. "What I thought would be a tough transition," Taylor said, "is going seamless."

Jetsfan80 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 If Santonio Holmes didn't understand how seriously the Jets take their practices, even in the offseason, one play during yesterday's team drills should have gotten his attention. His assignment on the particularly play was to come out to the flat and block All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis. No big deal right? Except Revis never feels like being blocked. Not in a game. Not in practice. So instead of absorbing Holmes' soft hit, Revis delivered his own blow, knocking the former Super Bowl MVP flat on his rear end. Welcome to the Jets. "He tried to block me and I kind of moved him out of the way," Revis said with smile. "I told him I was sorry afterward." Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that he HAS a great work ethic and attitude will make him do everything in his power NOT to suck, as well. His physical limitations will perhaps keep him from being an elite QB, but he will be a good one for sure, and that's all we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Just returning the favor SoFla. Quite a few stories today so I thought to put them all together. this is my 43rd year following this team and I never remember so many PLAYERS talking about the Super Bowl. I mean back in 1999 there was a lot of talk about the Jets AS SB contenders (until Vinny went down in a heap) but never from so many players, and coaches, and FO types-me likey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbro22 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Agree with everything klecko said about Mark, kid loves to play football. My only concern and its a small one <- no pun intended is his height. He's like a midget compared to Eli. I'd definitely put money on Mark in fight though. He's much hotter too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 Ane Here It is Again SFJ Your Jets boast of the day, courtesy of Mark Sanchez Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on May 21, 2010 11:27 AM ET So this nifty little quote was actually said on Thursday, but we missed it the first time around. Mark Sanchez, reflecting on his recent trip to the White House: "I knew we were scoping out this territory and we're coming back in February," Sanchez said. "That's in the back of your head. Now, Brick [D'Brickashaw Ferguson] and I will know where to go, so we'll just lead guys around and throw in a tour." Honestly, we enjoy the confidence from the Jets. It makes the offseason more fun and it will make the season more fun in New York whether the team does well or crashes and burns. On the field, Sanchez has surprised people by looking sharp earlier than expected after knee surgery. It sounds like Sanchez has a chance to be a "full go" for June minicamp, but coach Rex Ryan isn't making any promises. At least about medical matters.

SoFlaJets Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 it all depends on keeping Sanchez healthy first and foremost and being able to withstand the inevitable other injuries with depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Jets' Ellis ticked he didn't get an extension Jets Blog By MARK CANNIZZARO Last Updated: 5:58 AM, May 21, 2010 Posted: 3:34 AM, May 21, 2010 Comments: 0 | More Print Shaun Ellis still is steaming about the Jets spurning his attempt to get a contract extension, but he said yesterday he expects to remain with the team this season. "The fact is that it's the last year of my deal and it's time to get an extension," the Jets veteran defensive end told The Post. "I tried to work something out and they basically told me, 'No,' and they're making me play it out." Ellis conceded that this "[ticks] me off." "I've done a lot in this league and I have a lot more to do," he said. "My numbers speak for themselves. I feel definitely that I have produced and I've been producing for a long time." And you're ready to start tailing off. Thus the no extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 So, Holmes got blasted by Revis. Leonard got blown up by Ducasse. Mangold is down from friendly fire. OTA's are suppossed to be non-contact, I hope they learn to quiet the media a bit better than this if they're going to be blatantly ignoring the league rules.
