What does Jets coach Rex Ryan do in the off season? Shoots guest stints on CSI:NY, apparently. Ryan, whose previous film work ranges from Hard Knocks to pretty feet, and Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum just shot a walk-on for the show in which they play themselves in a scene with actors Gary Sinise and Eddie Cahill. And from the looks of it they're having a grand old time (maybe they were just happy to be in warmer weather?).

Darrelle Revis, Jets Reach Contract Agreement
After saying that the team was moving forward without their star cornerback on the roster, the Jets came to an agreement with Darrelle Revis, who sat out Gang Green's training camp during his contract holdout. After midnight, Revis Tweeted, "I'm comin home baby!!! Revis Island LET'S GO," and "it not has only been hard on u guys but it has for me too. I just want to tell yall that I'm sorry for this process and I can't wait to get back on the field."
Jets Moving On Without Darrelle Revis
With Darrelle Revis still holding out against the Jets in order to become the league's highest paid cornerback, and the team forced to cut their roster to 53 people, the New York Jets are moving on without Revis on the active roster. But the Jets aren't saying much. GM Mike Tannenbaum said, “Darrelle’s not here and we’ve planned accordingly. We’ve said that all along that, organizationally, we have to move forward. We’re playing Baltimore in a little over a week, and that’s what we’re prepared to do.”
Jets Holler at Plax Just to See What's Up
You know when you watch a buddy of yours get his life turned upside-down by a psycho girlfriend and then you hear everyone congratulate him on doing the right thing once he finally mans up and tells her to hit the road? But then one night a month later, you realize how lonely you are and can't stop thinking about how how great he'd always said the sex with her was. So you find yourself visiting this chick in rehab, telling her to give you a call if she ever needs a place to crash. No? Well that's what the Jets did a few days ago when GM Mike Tannenbaum placed a call to agent Drew Rosenhaus checking in on the status of Plaxico Burress. When ESPN first reported it, the Jets first gave no comment (caught) and then the GM said, "Consistent with our normal approach of performing our due diligence, we contacted (Rosenhaus) several days ago prior to the draft to inquire about Plaxico's pending legal situation." Welcome to New York, Mark Sanchez!
From Mangenius to Manboob
Yesterday, the Jets' firing of coach Eric Mangini brought some satisfaction to fans and sports writers. But owner Woody Johnson's and general manager's apparent inclination to keep aging quarterback Brett Favre has some scratching their heads. The Post's Steve Serby writes:
If Johnson and GM Mike Tannenbaum are really serious about staying with Favre and a right arm that needed an MRI yesterday, a scattershot right arm that will be 40 years old in October, then they aren't moving forward. They are being held hostage to a pipe dream that our favorite Hall of Fame icon can go Pack to the future and remain forever young, and they are holding their next head coach hostage to that pipe dream as well while Favre holds them all hostage with his Shakespearian lament, To Play Or Not to Play?Some players agree: Kerry Rhodes said, "If he's dedicated and he wants to come back and do this and do it the right way and come here and be here when we're here in training camp and the minicamps and working out with us and doing all those things, then I'm fine with it. But don't come back if it's going to be halfhearted or he doesn't want to put the time in with us."
