Busy Day For Jets: Rex Predicts, Bart To Wrestle, Gholston Gone?

1) Rex guarantees Super Bowl Victory- Rex Ryan is back at it again as he predicted that the New York Jets will win the Super Bowl this upcoming season.  “I believe this is the year that we’re going to win the Super Bowl.  I thought we’d win it the first two years. I guarantee we’ll win it this year.”

After back to back trips to the AFC Championship game there is no reason for Ryan or his Jets to lack confidence.  Lets just hope that Gang Green actually breaks through and gets to the Super Bowl.

2) Gholston a goner? While speaking at the combine New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum made some interesting comments regarding personnel decisions.  Tannenbaum stated that the Jets would not sign any free agents until a new CBA is in place.  When asked about Vernon Gholston, Mike stated that the Jets have some loose ends that the team needs clean up.  I think a highly touted first round pick that has 0 sacks in three years qualifies as a loose end.

3) Taylor to leave? On Thursday there were several reports that the Jets were prepared to part ways with Jason Taylor.  Initially it was believed that Taylor was set to retire, but it looks like Jason wants to give it a go for one more year.  Recently Taylor offered the South Florida Sun Sentinel this comment on his future:

“It’s something we’re still talking about, thinking about. There’s so much uncertainty right now with the whole labor mess that’s going on with our league. So, a lot of it is going to depend on when that gets settled and on whether or not the Jets want me to come back. So, my decision is only a small part of it. At the end of the day, somebody has got to want you to play for them and at this point, we have to get a CBA [collective bargaining agreement] done.”

I thought Taylor did a pretty good job for the Jets last year and have no problem with the team bringing him back at the right price.

4) Bart Scott teams up with Hulk Hogan- On March 3rd Jets linebacker Bart Scott will fulfill his childhood dream as he makes an appearance on TNA Wrestling with legend Hulk Hogan.  It is no secret that Scott is a huge fan of wrestling, which should make this a very interesting segment.  I “can’t wait” to check it out.

5) Kris Jenkins clears the air- On Wednesday Jets Confidential posted a blog about Kris Jenkins and some issues that he had with the Jets during his rehabilitation.  The report hinted that Big Jenks was trying to work his way out of New York.  When asked about this report Jenkins offered the following comment through his Facebook account:  ” If anyone thought in my last interview I took a shot at my team that was not my intentions. I took a shot at a former employee and I was wrong for that and I apologize. But I didn’t mean to be misunderstood. I love the JETS!!!!”

It will be interesting to see what the Jets do with Jenkins as the team will be in desperate need of cap room.  I think he may have to restructure his contract or the team will have to part ways with him.

cutting gholston seems more like spite than a good football decision. if the cap savings is less than 500k... why?

could a guy turn it on between year 3 and year 4... he could... and it happens all the time. especially with a player that is shuffled between DL and OLB... and doesn't get alot of snaps... im not saying it's incredibly likely but there's a chance

I was away this week, can anyone explain the Jenkins thing in more detail?

Hes blaming the Jets for him not taking his rehab seriously. it's the Jets fault he loaded up the shopping cart and was over weight the whole year leading right up to training camp. the Jets should have assigned him a dietitian and a nurse to wipe his a$$.

Could Bar Rafaeli's vagina hit me in the face as I'm walking down the street tomorrow? It's not incredibly likely but there's a chance.

lol i dont want to start another "defend gholston" thread but I wonder about cutting a player that hits the cap for 6 mil whether he's here or not. I know he's due a 2 mil bonus and they don't want to pay that... but there's no compelling cap reason to get rid of him. People just want to punish him for sucking i guess. Its not like Jenkins where cutting him saves the team 6+ mil on the cap.

players that suck usually do get cut.

People just want to free up his roster space for a UFL cast-off that might do more on the field.

The Jets don't want to answer any more questions about Gholston. Tanny doesn't want to defend the pick, Rex doesn't want to lie about his potential. Enough is enough already.

Because he's not worth a roster spot.

DING DING DING...we have a winner. Even if it cost the Jets money to cut the stiff it opens up a spot on the roster that can now be filled with a football player. Carrying a second punter would offer more value than that worthless pile of garbage.

Maybe Rashard Mendenhall can also appear and Scott can pretend he can tackle him.

while playing the game lets also add in David Harris, Bryan Thomas, Calvin Pace, Darrelle Revis, Eric Smith, and whoever else took a paycheck for the first half of the game
