PrintRex Ryan confirmed it during this afternoons press conference and Pro Football Talk got it down, good news to add on top of good news, the sprinkles on the iced muffin:
NFL.com passes along word that Jets coach Rex Ryan confirmed today that the team re-signed Richardson a day after cutting him.
We noted this morning that Richardson could re-join the team this afternoon, so Ryan's confirmation isn't a surprise. But it's still not completely clear why the Jets decided to cut Richardson yesterday.
We give PFT a hard time here and usually it is for good reason, however we do give credit where it is due, and PFT this morning said we would be bringing him back today, and they were right...(someone from PFT might want to take a screen shot of that, because it doesn't happen often...like a solar eclipse)
A lot of people were quite frankly, furious when we released T-Rich. Myself included. I knew the franchise could not be that stupid though. He still performs, he has a student to teach and he offers invaluable leadership that is severely lacking on the offensive side of the football.
So although you have only been gone a matter of hours, welcome home.
As far as Brian Jackson is concerned, he mouthed off a little bit, was crowed king ugly and tied to a goal post. All fond memories I'm sure. He was actually decent in pre-season action, perhaps we will look at him again in the future.

Wasn’t too pleased with Tanny last night, and I didn’t even consider that he would be brought back so soon, passing thought was we could see him back after week 1, but was pretty angry and not thinking too clearly at all.

But they were RISKING him being gone.

As Rex said, they had to get the Revis deal done fast so they could use the exemption to bring TRich back. If they hadn’t have signed Revis as fast, this risk would have just gone up. Clearly they had a TRich verbal (it would seem), but there still was a chance that another team would come and convince him. I don’t know if Tanny was worried, but Rex certainly had it on his mind.

All I know is that the way that Rex expressed it (and he wasn’t even that sure), along with Revis came some sort of roster exemption that lasted for a certain amount of time, I think Rex mentioned a few weeks.
Just on 1050 Tanny also suggested that there still is some tweaking of the roster coming, in small moves. He said this in the context of talking about the bringing of TRich back, so it would seem that the Revis exemption saved them from having to do other moves they were thinking about.

+ 1 on Brian Jackson
all the other crap aside he looks like he will catch on with another team if not the PS. Would not besuprised to see him in the league in a couple years.

Don't know if anyone missed it, but Tanny just said on ESPN
That there was a player for player trade for a corner that was in place, or at least being worked on, in case the signing didn’t go down.

ESPN 1050 that is.

That’s pretty interesting, wonder if we will ever find out who it was.

If that was the trade go ahead and make it RIGHT NOW.
Woodhead is a fringe guy, and this team could ALWAYS use CB depth and competition.

Me as well. Sarcasm doesn’t translate well in this medium. Always my bane.

Show TEE the money
T Rich still gets his guaranteed money for being on the roster BEFORE week 1 against the Ravens. As most of you noted, it was solely to be able to claim/sign receiver Patrick Turner (Miami), defensive lineman Marcus Dixon (Dallas) and offensive tackle Patrick Brown (Minnesota). Apparently there was a handshake deal in place.
This isnt just icing on the cake.
This is the fireworks finale to an awsome holiday weekend.
I have no doubt that Conner could start from day one on a lot of teams. But having T-Rich on this team does more then coach him along. It appeases the locker room leaders who look out for eachother. Things like this never go unnoticed. It also keeps a player on this team who has the ability and reputation to herd the sheep if you catch my meaning. Theres morons on every team. Guys like T-Rich can keep it to a minimum.
