The Jets are still taking a wait-and-see approach with free-agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress. Sources say that New York is waiting to see what comes of Plaxico's legal situation, and that they are unlikely to make a play for him if he is suspended for a lengthy period of time. However, if Burress escapes major suspension and gets his legal situation cleared up, the Jets are expected to be among the most likely suitors.

The Jets have claimed wide receiver Mario Urrutia off waivers from the Bengals, according to Scout.com. Urrutia, a former 2008 seventh-round pick of the Bengals, was waived last weekend.

Jets coach Rex Ryan has struggled with the effects of dyslexia ever since grade school. "It was really frustrating," Ryan told The Associated Press. "So much of school, you have to write, but I just struggled. I couldn't help it." As much as 15 to 20 percent of the population has symptoms of dyslexia, according to The International Dyslexia Association. Ryan was diagnosed with dyslexia just a few years ago when his oldest son, Payton, was tested for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. "They gave me a test, too, and there were like 100 words, not real words, but letters just thrown out there," Ryan said. "It might've taken me, I don't know, maybe 15 minutes to read it out. They brought in my youngest son, who was maybe 10 or 12 at that time, and he read it in like a minute. "The further we went along with it, the more I realized, 'Man, oh, man. I can see where I definitely had it."

The Jets aren't currently targeting Plaxico Burress, according to two NFL sources. The club is likely staying away from Burress because of his clouded legal situation. He was granted a court adjournment on Monday, which pushed his trial on gun charges back to September 23. "Any good football player, we're going to monitor their situation," Jets coach Rex Ryan told Sirius NFL radio. "But to us, really, nothing's changed. I know it sounds funny, but we're happy with our guys. ... Do we have that Pro Bowl receiver? No, we don't, but we feel pretty good about our unit."

The Jets have signed third-round draft pick Shonn Greene to a multiyear deal, according to the Associated Press. Greene was the first pick of the third round out of Iowa.

Jets coach Rex Ryan was asked on Friday if he had any regrets following the team's recent minicamp. "I probably could've done a little less sparring with Crowder," he said.

Jets wide receiver Jericho Cotchery doesn't believe that the team needs to add a top-flight option like Plaxico Burress. The popular belief is that New York needs help in the pass-catching department. "We don't take it personal," Cotchery said this week. "It's just something that adds to whatever you're doing, your work ethic or whatever. It's extra juice."

Jets running back Leon Washington is still hoping to get a "fair" deal from the team. Washington hinted on Tuesday that he may skip training camp in July if New York doesn't give him a new contract. He is looking for an increase of his scheduled salary of $535,000 for the 2009 season. "Hopefully we'll get something done, because I think it's important for me to be in training camp," Washington said.

Jets coach Rex Ryan and Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder have had a continued war of words in the media. On Tuesday, Ryan questioned Crowder's preparation and said: "I don't know this Channing Crowder. All I know is that he's all tatted up, so I guess I ought to be nervous about him." Crowder didn't waste any time putting together a response. "I'd have beat the hell out of that big old joker," Crowder told the Miami Herald. "Or if he really wants to get retro, my daddy or my uncle could have handled him. Don't get big. Win with preparation? Start watching some tape and learn who your rival is. Come on now."

The New York Jets have reached a contract agreement with quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Jets made the announcement during Wednesday's minicamp. Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
