Mike Tannenbaum has a tough time sitting still on draft day. Whether it's trading up or down, or for future picks, the New York Jets general manager is as big a wheeler and dealer as there is in the NFL. So, the fact the team has almost as many draft picks this year as it has the last two combined might just be a temporary luxury.

Posted by Yahoo! Sports - NFL - New York Jets News under NflComments Off
The NFL lockout and a lack of free agency have handcuffed Mike Tannenbaum so far this offseason. No trades. No signings. No big splashes. Still, the New York Jets general manager is heading into next week's draft with the same approach he always has. "We'll take the 30th-best player," Tannenbaum said Thursday, "whoever that is." That's the usual boring draft-speak most...

Don't let anyone tell you New York Jets fans aren't loyal. Not when 7,500 of them turned out on a Saturday morning to give coach Rex Ryan's crew one last boost before leaving for Pittsburgh.

Mark Sanchez strolled out of a restaurant and pulled a fast one on his future coach. It was a moment, back in 2009, when Rex Ryan knew he needed the goofball kid with the golden arm from Southern California to lead the New York Jets. Sanchez had just finished a pre-draft workout with the team and had dinner with Ryan, owner Woody Johnson and general manager Mike Tannenbaum, among others.

Braylon Edwards is coming on strong, just in time for the post-season.
"Braylon, the last couple of weeks, has been awesome," Jets' offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said Thursday, "just playing fast, jumping in like he did late in the year [in 2009] on scout team and he just looks like he can't get enough right now.
"I think he's hitting his stride at just the right time," Schottenheimer added.
With the playoffs just around the corner. Edwards has 14 receptions for 178 yards in the last two games and could be poised for a big post-season. That's something he didn't have a chance at in his first four seasons in the NFL, as Cleveland didn't make the playoffs in any of those seasons.
"To go from never making it to [going] two years in a row," Edwards...

Sal Alosi tripped up when he told the New York Jets his side of the story. Now, the embattled assistant coach could be looking to save his job. Alosi, New York's strength and conditioning coach, was suspended indefinitely by the team Wednesday after he acknowledged that he told five inactive players to stand next to each other for a punt return, during which he tripped a Miami Dolphins player.
