WE Huey Whittaker was resigned by the Jets today, a day after releasing WR Paul Raymond and QB Chris Pizzotti.
Jane McManus joined The Journal News in 1999, after working at The Daily News and Newsday. She covered the Jets for the Brett Favre season, and before that was a college beat writer and covered pro tennis. She plays roller derby as Lesley E. Visserate. She went to St. John's College in Annapolis, Md. and worked as a paralegal in Manhattan on cases involving the NBA and boxing, which is what sparked the whole sportswriting idea. That and watching the Knicks during the Patrick Ewing era. A trip to the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism honed her high-school paper skills, and she is an adjunct there for the sports journalism class that raised her. She runs, plays basketball and chases her two girls, Jean and Charlotte.

Had enough of blah blah blah Mark Sanchez? Here are your leftovers from last night’s 23-30 loss to the Rams at the Meadowlands, with just a little Sanchez sprinkled in.
Done so soon? Rex Ryan took Sanchez out after the touchdown because he didn’t want either potential starter to get injured with three first team offensive [...]
Mark Sanchez got on the field for his first series of the game and got the call from offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer; go to David Clowney, all the way. Great, he thought, I come in off the bench and I’ll be shooting 3’s cold. He called the play, felt his mouthpiece fall to the turf [...]
The countdown officially begins to the start of the regular season.
I’m sitting in the press box looking at the first official Jets depth chart. It lists Kellen Clemens as the starting QB, no surprise, but it also lists WR Huey Whittaker, who was cut two days ago so you can’t read that much into them.
Right [...]
The odds are stacked against the NFL undrafted free agent. And that’s he way it was for Mike DeVito when he came to the Jets in 2007. He was from Maine, which yielded some good players but was hardly a Nebraska or USC. The defensive end had been a Jets fan growing up in a [...]
You may have noticed that the forecast for this afternoon and evening is pretty wet in the Tri-State region, but the Jets are planning to hold practice today at the Hofstra campus on Long Island rain or shine. A team spokesperson said the only thing that would cancel the 5:45 Family Night practice is if [...]
The rumor that Jets RB Thomas Jones is being shopped or potentially cut is false, according to someone familiar with the team’s thinking on the matter.
Kellen Clemens is in his third quarterback competition in his four years with the Jets. Last year’s with Chad Pennington abruptly ended when Brett Favre came in and Pennington was cut and picked up by the Dolphins. This year he would have faced Brett Ratliff for the starting spot, until a more challenging Mark Sanchez [...]
Not mine this time, but JetOrange’s. The poster was in Cortland yesterday and made some pretty keen observations on the comments section of the Shaun Ellis post if you didn’t see them, and I’m going to take the time to amplify a few.
Sanchez vs. Clemens: Mark Sanchez looked great when I was up there for [...]
Although Shaun Ellis faced undisclosed reprocussions from the Jets when he was arrested with marijuana last November, he told reporters today he could be suspended by the NFL for the first Jets game of the season.
Calvin Pace will also sit for the first four Jets games due to a violation of the NFL’s banned substances [...]
