Winslow Won't Receive Suspension For Synthetic Marijuana Possession

Oct 20, 2014 12:35 AM

Kellen Winslow will not be suspended under the NFL's substance-abuse policy after being found in possession of synthetic marijuana.

Synthetic marijuana is not on the NFL's list of banned substances.

"Our drug policy is one that has strict and well-defined drugs that are banned," union boss DeMaurice Smith said, via NJ.com. "If they are not on the list, they can't serve as the basis for discipline."

At Least One NFL Team Ready To Sign Mark Sanchez As Starter

Aug 3, 2014 11:29 AM

At least one NFL coach is ready to make Mark Sanchez the starting quarterback of his team if the New York Jets cut him.

"We'd take Sanchez," said the unnamed coach. "He'd be the starter as soon as he walked in the door for us."

Sanchez's release would save the Jets $8.3 million off his $13.1 million cap figure.

Michael Vick, Josh Freeman, Shaun Hill, Josh McCown and Chad Henne are other free agent quarterbacks available.

Jets Not Ready To Pledge Starting QB Job To Geno Smith

Aug 5, 2014 3:59 AM

The New York Jets aren't prepared to promise the starting quarterback job to Geno Smith.

"We're all excited about having Geno as part of the Jets, but we will always look to improve every position in any manner we can and that doesn't change going into 2014," John Idzik said. "We'll look at quarterbacks. Yes, we'll look at quarterbacks."

Smith won the starting job in training camp by default after Mark Sanchez suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.

"He's a very resilient young man," Idzik said of Smith. "For him to start all 16 games, go through the highs and lows of an NFL season and just to see him develop as a player, see him handle a game, see him be more efficient in the pocket, his accuracy, threatening with his legs, all of the things that he did, they were very positive."
