New York gave up a lot to get its quarterback of the future, and the Jets will start building the offense around him. But when will he start?
The Jets have announced their training-camp schedule for spectators. Only three practices are open to the general public — July 29, August 18-19. Why only three? Remember, they have three joint practices with the Redskins in Richmond, Va. (Aug 12-14). There's also less parking than in past years at the Florham Park, NJ facility due to construction in the area. The Green & White scrimmage will be Aug. 4 at Rutgers, not MetLife Stadium.
More details have emerged in Chris Herndon's June 2 car crash in New Jersey that resulted in the Jets' rookie tight end being charged with DWI. According to the accident report obtained by ESPN, an eyewitness told NJ State Police that an SUV believed to be driven by Herndon was traveling at least 100 mph on Route 80. The report said Herndon's SUV flipped after colliding with another vehicle, which caught fire. The SUV slid approximately 700 feet after initial contact. Herndon told police the other vehicle was speeding and hit him from behind, causing him to flip. Herndon failed a Breathalyzer test, police said at the time of the arrest.
The Jets' coach doesn't shy away from the challenge his record presents, and he's ready to change the narrative with a successful season.
The Jets can roll unused cap money into next year and will have the opportunity to be big spenders.
The Jets have signed DL Courtney Upshaw, a former second-round pick of the Ravens. He was a tryout player in minicamp. They waived DL Chris Jones.
Oakland Raiders coach Jon Gruden says it's depressing that teams can't spend more time developing young quarterbacks like Christian Hackenberg.
Coach Todd Bowles confirmed the QB depth chart for the start of training camp. Hardly a surprise here, folks: Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater and rookie Sam Darnold, in that order. But it's not etched in stone. Said Bowles: "The competition will heat up when we're in pads and when those things count."
Jets RB coach Stump Mitchell is high on second-year RB Eli McGuire — and that's an understatement. Mitchell: "Wow, Eli looks fantastic. I'll tell you who I see Eli as and he's in the Hall of Fame. Eli can do those type of things. He has the skill set to be LaDainian Tomlinson — if he was given that opportunity. That's not what presents itself to him at this particular point in time. But skill set, he can do it all." Question: If McGuire is that good, why is he behind Bilal Powell and Isaiah Crowell?
Takeaways on final minicamp practice: This was an abbreviated session, not nearly as competitive as yesterday. QB Josh McCown had a strong day, displaying real good velocity on an intermediate throw to Robby Anderson. QB Teddy Bridgewater seemed a bit off for the second day in a row. Decent day for Sam Darnold. He had an interception (only his second in six open practices), but the ball deflected off the hands of TE Jordan Leggett. WR ArDarius Stewart also had a drop on a well-thrown ball by McCown.
Terrelle Pryor, who had recent arthroscopic surgery in his right ankle, hopes to be ready for the start of training camp. He expects to "hit the field running."
With four receivers on the roster who have notched an 800-yard season, the Jets have talent, if not a true No. 1 pass-catcher.
Quarterbacks working on the fundys — Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold. Final day of minicamp.
Non-quarterback takeaways from Day 2 of minicamp: This was the most spirited open practice of the spring. Lots of jawing, offense vs. defense. Todd Bowles said they have several players who are "unanimous (selections) on the all-trash talking team in shorts and T-shirts." ... Defense dominated practice ... INTs by LBs Kevin Pierre-Louis and David Bass and S Doug Middleton ... Lots of penalties on offense ... Good day for TE Jordan Leggett, who scored in a red-zone period ... LB Lorenzo Mauldin flashed against the run ... Did I say lots of penalties?
Todd Bowles usually doesn't get angry, but he was fired up in practice today when DE Leonard Williams inadvertently hit QB Teddy Bridgewater in the arm during a team drill. That's a no-no, and the coach let everybody know it. Asked later if there's a fine line for defenders, Bowles said curtly, "There is no fine line. We don't touch the quarterback in shorts and T-shirts. Ever."
Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson said Wednesday he doesn't expect to be suspended by the NFL despite being arrested twice in a nine-month span.
Offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates said Wednesday that the Jets have thrown the entire playbook at quarterback Sam Darnold and the rookie "hasn't flinched."
