Jets signed QB Michael Vick to a one-year, $5 million contract. The deal was reported just minutes after the release of Mark Sanchez. The Jets get their top choice at quarterback, reuniting Vick with former OC Marty Mornhinweg. Vick threw for 1,215 yards, five touchdowns, and three interceptions over six starts with the Eagles last year, completing just 54.6 percent of his passes. Despite his obvious decline over the past three seasons, Vick's veteran skill-set should make him the favorite for the starting job over Geno Smith. Rex Ryan is entering a make-or-break year in 2014.


Jets released QB Mark Sanchez. The Jets attempted to trade Sanchez for a late-round pick and considered keeping him on a revised deal, but this was the expected move all along. By releasing Sanchez, the Jets create $8.3 million in cap savings and avoid paying his $2 million roster bonus. The Texans are expected to show interest in Sanchez as a veteran stopgap, but he's likely ticketed for a backup job coming off two turnover-prone seasons. Sanchez is five months removed from shoulder surgery and expected to be ready for training camp.

Rex Ryan is entering a make-or-break year in 2014.

2015 will also be a "make or break" year for the Fat Man.

We still have the better QB. As for hot seat coaches in make or break year ... when it comes to that we live in a glass house. At least the players play hard for Ryan.

IDK. I saw a team ready for the golf course the final 2 weeks.

That means you have players who literally dont want to make the playoffs because all it took was 1 win to make it in. They darn sure wanted it at Pittsburgh and against NE the prior 2 weeks so lets be real

If the Jets complete a deal for DJax, we can scoff all we want but they are clearly improving themselves. Are we? Albert is an upgrade, but that's it so far. Don't get me wrong... I like what they've done with resigning Starks and Grimes, and the Smith signing makes sense, but none of that looks like improvement. It's maintaining. Maintaining an 8-8 roster is not the goal. I will breath a little easier when I see that there is clear improvement on the rest of the O-line.

Big names don't necessarily translate to improvement.

Agreed, but in this case Vick is clearly the better option in NY, and DJax would be clearly their best receiver. Is it championship caliber? Prob not, but it's improvement. I ask again, other than Albert, have we improved at all? I think that the best answer for that is maybe.

Guaranteed Vick will miss at leats 5 games if he even starts. Name a good cb/safety that they have, their defense showed weakness many times last season also which imo is getting worse during this offseason and we still have yet to see them with a capable offensive coordinator. Dolphins? we will add more to the line and if T-Hill takes the net step we darn sure will easily have improved

Don't mistake my position as being high praise for old man Vick; he's just better than Jeno IMO, and therefore represents improvement. At some point, either from injury or ineffectiveness, he will become the man in NY and they will be better for it as long as he stays healthy.

As for their defense, I agree they have issues. I didn't say the Jets were going to be awesome, only that they were doing things to improve their team.

You say we WILL add more to the line and IF T-Hill takes the next step...

Without reading into the future, are we better right now? That was my point. I hope we do add a veteran RT and I hope T-Hill takes the next step. I hope we find a running game and our run defense improves. But as of today, next season is still riding on what we hope happens. I'm in SHOW-ME mode, sorry guys. I am skeptically hopeful, if that makes sense.

The Jets suck , we all know that. I mean , c'mon they went 8 - 8 last season.

If you're on a SHOW-ME mode you really have to be that way with the Jets who havent had a passing game in YEARS

Coach Jeff Fisher confirmed the Rams have interest in free agent QB Mark Sanchez. Sanchez would be a fine add for the Rams. He spent three years in New York with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, would be an upgrade on current backup Austin Davis and starter Sam Bradford is coming off an ACL tear. Additionally, Bradford's exorbitant contract contains no more guaranteed money and expires following the 2015 season.

Sanchez played under OC Brian Schottenheimer for three seasons and could be a fit in the Rams' West Coast offense.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports free agent Mark Sanchez plans to sign with the Eagles. Sanchez would be choosing Philly over the Rams, who expressed interest in him at the league meetings. With Chip Kelly's Eagles, Sanchez would replace Michael Vick as Nick Foles' primary backup, keeping Matt Barkley on the third string. Still only 27, Sanchez would do well to land with an offensive mastermind surrounded by high-end weapons. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirmed Monday the Eagles "will take a hard look" at Sanchez, and are currently having their team doctors check Sanchez's medicals following his 2013 shoulder injury.

And to think that we thought Sanchez and Henne would be battling it out for a decade just a few years ago. Both were busts as starting quarterbacks. I do think Sanchez has talent but he is so inconsistent.
