When the Jets threw more than $140M at free agents this offseason, their expectations seemed clear: Another four-win season, as they had in 2007, would be intolerable. The Jets did not sit on their money during the free agency signing period, and they also dealt for a defensive lineman. Their additions this offseason: Introducing new Jets Position Transaction Alan Faneca G Signed Calvin Pace DE/LB Signed Damien Woody T Signed Tony Richardson RB Signed Kris Jenkins DL Acquired Jesse Chatman RB Signed Bubba Franks TE Signed Yet the front office has made it clear it has no intention of operating under a win-now mentality in 2008 after owner Woody Johnson said Sunday coach Eric Mangini and GM Mike Tannenbaum would "absolutely" keep their jobs for 2009 regardless of how the coming season pans out, according to an ESPN.com report.

The Jets and wide receiver Laveranues Coles agreed to terms on a contract extension on Thursday, according to the New York Post. The terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed, but it is believed that two or three years were added to a deal that had a pair of seasons remaining. Coles was critical of the team earlier this offseason because it did not appear as though the Jets were going to honor his request for a new deal.

The Jets and wide receiver Laveranues Coles are reportedly close to agreeing on a long-term contract extension, according to the New York Post. Coles reported to workouts with the team on Monday despite threatening to sit them out. He has two years and $11 million left on his current contract, but an NFL source close to the Post claims that a new agreement is "imminent."

Laveranues Coles showed up at Jets' camp on Monday after sitting out the first week of action, according to the New York Daily News. He threatened to sit out the entire program because he is unhappy with his current contract. Last month Coles claimed the Jets lied to him about the promise of a new deal.

Free agent wide receiver Troy Brown visited with the New York Jets on Monday afternoon, according to the Boston Globe. The level of interest from the Jets isn't known, but Eric Mangini is obviously familiar with the career Patriot. It would be the latest chapter in the New England-New York saga if Brown jumped ship.

Wide receiver Laveranues Coles, stuck in a contract dispute with the Jets, may not show up for the team's first offseason program on Monday, according to the New York Daily News. In February, he claimed that he wouldn't take part in the workout unless the team voided the final two years of his deal and gave him a long-term extension.

The New York Jets are close to signing tight end Bubba Franks, two people close to the negotiations told The Star-Ledger. It is believed that an official announcement could come as soon as Monday, after the Jets missed out on Colts' TE Ben Utecht Friday. Utecht signed an offer sheet with the Bengals on Friday and will either move to Cincinnati or remain a member of the Colts if they match the offer.

Ty Law, who was released by the Jets two years ago, is planning to visit with New York on Wednesday, according to the a report on the NFL Network. Law has played for the Patriots, Jets, and Chiefs throughout his career, and his first go-around in New York was mildly unsuccessful.

The New York Jets signed former Miami running back Jesse Chatman to a one-year deal on Sunday, according to the Associated Press. "Jesse chose New York because he has a past relationship with a couple of the coaches and feels that it's a great opportunity," agent Brett Tessler said.

The New York Jets have signed three-time Pro Bowl fullback Tony Richardson, according to NFL.com. "Tony will serve as a tremendous asset in both the running and passing game as well as on special teams," said Jets' Head Coach Eric Mangini. "With nearly 200 games of NFL experience, he is a consummate professional who will serve as a great resource for our younger players."
