Brad Smith Ready To Explore Options

Oct 19, 2014 8:11 AM

Jets wide receiver/kick returner Brad Smith is set to become an unrestricted free agent and he doesn't expect to definitely be re-signed. Despite his uncertain future, Smith attended the team's player-led workouts. "It was a little awkward, to be honest," Smith said. "Most of the guys are under contract, then you have (Santonio) Holmes, Braylon (Edwards) and I. We worked hard, but you just don't know." "I love being a Jet because of my teammates. It's what makes it special for me," he said. "But as a football player in the interest of business, you have to be able to explore and see what may be best for you, and that's what we're going to do. We'll see if we'll be back with the Jets. I love being with them, but you never know."

Holmes Is A Priority For Jets

Oct 20, 2014 8:18 PM

Santonio Holmes is a priority for the Jets, writes Jason La Canfora of The NFL Network. Holmes will be a free agent once the NFL's league year resumes. "I believe they will (be able to afford Holmes)," La Canfora told NFL Total Access. "From everything I've heard, he will be a priority. Look at what they've done in recent years with D'Brickshaw Ferguson, Nick Mangold, stepping up for Darrelle Revis. They've done everything possible to keep their young core. ... I think Holmes stays in New York." La Canfora doesn't believe Braylon Edwards will be as much of a priority.

Reed: 'We Wanted Rex As Coach In 2008'

Apr 29, 2014 3:35 AM

John Harbaugh has found success as coach of the Ravens, leading the team to the playoffs in all three of his seasons. But one of Baltimore's stars acknowledged Friday that many of the player's pulled for Rex Ryan to land the job in 2008. Ed Reed didn't hold back this week when explaining his affection for Ryan, now the Jets' outspoken coach. "(Ryan was) like a dad, like a brother, man," Reed told ESPN, in comments reported by The Baltimore Sun. "We wanted Rex as the head coach in Baltimore. We did not want him to leave. It hurt when he left (in 2009). We knew he was a great coach. There was a reason why that defense was the way it was."
