It looks like Gang Green is moving on without RB Thomas Jones.

The Daily News says farewell to TJ.

Newsday says he will be released on Friday.

We are, however, sticking with LB Vernon Gholston.

AFC East blog says Vernon is running out of time.

This is his "make or break year" according to HC Rex Ryan.

NFL FanHouse is amused by Rex and intrigued by the Jets.

Rex is already warning our 2010 opponents.

Rex talked about his finger and his gut.

The Record says there will be no hex for Rex next year.

The Miami Herald has pictures of Rex with LB Channing Crowder's mother.

More connections after the jump.

Just in time for the TJ news, Max Strauss debates the workhorse RB.

NewYorkJets.com has video of Ryan's press conference at the combine, as well as an interview.

Apparently, we can thank the Jets' doctors for the foundation of the modern-day combine.

GM Mike Tannenbaum talks about the team and other topics.

As if you didn't know already, the final eight rules don't help the Jets.

Courier Post: An uncapped season is not good for parity.

Mike Vaccaro likes the thought of a New York Super Bowl.

AFC East Blog writes about "those darn Patriots" and the pipeline from Arizona to Miami.

WR Terrell Owens might not have to face Revis Island twice next year.

That's because Buffalo won't re-sign T.O., along with WR Josh Reed and DE Ryan Denney.

The NFL is considering changing OT rules for the playoffs.

Sports Illustrated writes about the combine's risers and sliders.

Here are the Jets DBs dancing before the Indy game:

Another season?

It’s been two seasons, and no one has really seen Gholston develop into the player he was hoped to be. I don’t know what his contractual picture is, and maybe there are no better options right now.

But I can’t feel overly optimistic given his last two seasons. I didn’t expect him to fully mature right away, but by now you’d like to see some glimmer of hope beyond initial potential.

You gotta respect Rex in terms of player development in a player like Gholston, and the Jets have agreed to give him another year. But I think all of us would agree that Tannenbaum should keep his eyes on any available talent at that position in the event season three is a bust.

Look for talent anyway

If Ryan thinks Gholston is worth that money, let him prove it against some competition. If he turns out not to be, new guy or guys win a roster spot.
Personally I would have cut Gholston two months ago.
