Feb 13, 2014 9:40 PM

Shaun Ellis was asked which of his Jets teammates he believes is poised for a breakout 2010. "Sione (Pouha)," replied Ellis. "He?s already broken out to me, but I think everyone?s going to realize how good of a player he is. Last year, he put his mark out there, and he?s going to continue to do it this year. (Mike) DeVito is going to have a good season. Calvin Pace, Bart (Scott); I think Bart is going to have a great season. All of us."

Oct 28, 2014 12:55 PM

The Ravens gave Marc Bulger $3.8 million to be Joe Flacco's backup, which may drive up the market price of other veteran quarterbacks. Mark Brunell has been linked to the Jets and Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com believes that Bulger's deal could increase how much Brunell will eventually sign for. "Many figured Brunell would sign for the minimum ($860,000 for a player with his experience), but now you have to wonder," Cimini writes.
