JETS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Geno Smith has been a quick study when it comes to learning how to handle the intense media presence that envelopes the New York Jets. Smith provided a shining example of how not to deal with the media during the week preceding the 2013 NFL draft. So much so that his mouth and the fingers that typed some ill-advised Tweets may have cost him first-round money.  On Sunday,...

New York Jets rookie QB Geno Smith has had, shall we say, some missteps from the time he was waiting in the green room of April's draft to about right now. But for him, it's time to sit down and talk candidly and intelligently to the media, and show them that he's not what everyone is saying he is - cellphone-obsessed prima donna who thinks he's better than he really...

Being sacked won't sting Geno Smith nearly as much as the beating he has taken by the media since he was drafted by the New York Jets. The quarterback was criticized for saying the 2013 Jets would make the playoffs, which seems highly improbable for a franchise in rebuilding mode. There were reports Smith was prepared to leave draft festivities in New York City last month after...

Last week, Mike Goodson, who was signed by the Jets two months ago to a three year, $6.9 million contract, was arrested on weapons and drug charges. The running back allegedly was in possession of marijuana and a semi-automatic .45-caliber gun. While Goodson was not driving the SUV that when it was pulled over, that didn't absolve him from responsibility. With such serious...

Rich Cimini of ESPN New York writes that Geno Smith is the “preferred candidate” to win the Jets starting quarterback job. Cimini adds that Smith will need to prove capable of running the team’s offense in order to stave off Mark Sanchez. It’s no secret that Smith is the preferred option over Sanchez, but Cimini mentions that starting Geno earlier on could allow him...

With running back Mike Goodson’s recent arrest, Jets offensive lineman Willie Colon believes he’ll be released. “It’s one of the things where it’s zero-tolerance with stuff like that,” Colon told the New York Daily News. “It’s sad. Mike could have been huge for us.” “He wasn’t around a lot, so I didn’t really get to see him a lot. For the most part, I was...

The bottom line is the Jets are one of the worst run franchises in the league.  They were carrying six quarterbacks following the draft.  There is no legitimate strategy for carrying that many.  Add to that, they lost two of the better known back-ups for nothing in return.   This team has needs at QB, WR, RB, OL, DL and DB.  They tried to address some of them in the draft...

Mike Goodson was signed to a free agent contract earlier this offseason, but after being arrested early this morning Goodson may never get a chance to play a snap for the Jets.According to News 12 New Jersey, Goodson was in a car with his friend who had stopped his vehicle on route 80 in Denville. Goodson's friend, Garant Evans, was driving, but Goodson was apparently so intoxicated...

Jets running back Mike Goodson reportedly was arrested early Friday morning after he and a companion were allegedly found by police intoxicated in an SUV.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith took a shot at New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez with a statement that made it abundantly clear he's not a fan.

Here at Turn On The Jets, we decided to take a page out of Robert Mays book over at Grantland (a polite way of saying rip his article idea off) by counting down the 115 days until the New York Jets kick off, with a daily reason to get excited about their return. Mays has the whole NFL to work with, we only have the Goddamn Jets…now there is a challenge, step your game up Mays...

The New York Jets received surprising news today when quarterback David Garrard informed the team that due to swelling in his knee, he is deciding to retire. Considering he is 35 years old, hasn’t played a NFL snap in 2 years and missed all of last season with a bad knee, there is a limit to how surprising this news is. The immediate assumption among many after early word broke...

It’s time for our weekly Tim Tebow update. The latest potential landing spot for Tebow? The AFL. Philadelphia Eagles legend/ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski owns a piece of the Philadelphia Soul franchise. Jaworski told the Philadelphia Daily News that he and Soul coach Clint Dolezel sent Tebow a package of plays that would like for him to run should he decide to accept an offer to...

Geno Smith has impressed the Jets so much during minicamp that the starting quarterback job reportedly is his to lose, possibly making Mark Sanchez expendable.

Even though the quarterback currently is without a job, Roger Goodell stated that he wants Tim Tebow in the NFL, saying, "Well, he’s a great young man."
