Lots of interesting updates today that we’re going to tackle in this one post …

News: Jane McManus reports that TJ’s teammates specifically Leon & Tony aren’t all that concerned that he’s not in the offseason workout program, with audio goodness from Tony Richardson.

Thoughts: His teammates are right. There’s no reason to think that Jones won’t be a pro once he’s back in the fold. I think it’s the wrong move to hold out, but he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do.

News: McManus also reports that the Jets won’t be hosting camp in Florham Park, but likely somewhere in upstate New York or maybe back at Hofstra.

Thoughts: An interesting development, but it makes sense. No stands, no dorm rooms, it would be impossible to house the players and fans at the facility. That said, the Jets would be smart to head back to Hofstra, and likely extend an olive branch to their longtime Long Island base.

News: Bart Scott is relishing his role as a “translator” in this offense, joking that he knows it better than some coaches.

Thoughts: It’s going to be a key piece of his role with the team. Having some folks to translate for teammates like Harris and everyone will be a big help. The Jets paid him a lot of money, but I think it was a worthwhile investment that will pay dividends.

News: Top TE Brandon Pettigrew is being talked about as a possible first round option for the Jets, according to Hutch.

Thoughts: Of all the information about players in the draft, this is what’s coming out? I’m not biting. The team took Dustin Keller last year by trading back into the first, I would be surprised to see them use two first rounders on TEs in two years. I think this is a ploy to get other teams frantic who are looking at Pettigrew and drafting behind the team to worry that he’ll be gone by the time the Jets pick.

News: Hutch also reports that the Jets have “cooled” on potential first rounders WR Hakeem Nicks and Percy Harvin.

Thoughts: This seems more legit to me, or maybe plays in with the bit on Pettigrew. If the team thinks they can get Nicks or Harvin later in the first and can move back to get him, seems like a slam-dunk to me. I like Harvin, but I think his game is more like Coles than what the Jets might need … like a DHB type of player …
