SB Nation Survey + Chance to donate $500 to a charity of this community's choice

>> Take SB Nation Survey

Hello sports fans! We're always striving to provide you with the best experience possible and it's been quite some time since we checked in with you.

So we're rolling out this survey to learn more about you and your sports world. It should only take about 10 minutes to complete.

We really appreciate your time and this is also going to help make a donation to a good cause.

By next Thursday (3/25) at 11:59pm PST the site that has the highest percentage of their community filling out the attached survey about their sports interests and consumption will win $500 to donate to a charity of their choice. We will leave it up to the discretion of the community manager(s) of the winning blog to decide how to choose the particular charity.

Mike Westhoff's unit had some voids to fill. As a result, the Jets have signed LB Lance Laury (a special teams ace). He recorded 63 special teams tackles in four seasons in Seattle.

Laury is coming off a great season, where he recorded 21 tackles and a forced fumble.

This is what Field Gulls wrote about him in February:

"Seattle has been very patient with Laury, but he never developed as a linebacker and was a marginal special teams player. Laury will probably sign to a team that has less linebacker depth, get cut, bounce around for a while and then retire. All in all, not a bad NFL career."

Running Backs by Round



There are some of us that believe that the signing of LD is a signal that Leon's departure is imminent.  If Leon is traded or signed by another team, we will need to address our running back situation.  Luckily, this year's draft class is loaded with talent.  Here are my suggestions for who we should target in each round.

1. James Madison

5. San Jose State
6. Tennessee Tech
7. Tulane
8. Vanderbilt Jets Rep Present

As usual here are the pro days, will edit and change when confirmation comes through. Think Decker will be doing certain drills in Minnesota, so hopeful that we are checking him out.

Antonio Cromartie Pays Off Child Support

Because of the contract money the Jets paid him up front, Antonio Cromartie was able to pay off his child support.

Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie has paid a child-support debt in the range of $25,000-$50,000 to the mother of one of his seven children, according to a report in the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Cromartie was due in court next week so a judge could evaluate his financial situation in the wake of past-due child support payments. That court date has been taken off the calendar, according to the report.

There were a lot of good reasons for the Jets to help their new player out. Probably none was more important at least from a business perspective than getting this distraction to go away, and getting Antonio's focus back on football.

According to Scout.com "After Michigan’s official Pro Day on March 12th concluded, Scout.com also learned that Mesko worked out for the Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets."

Mesko is set to work out at some point with the Chiefs/Eagles and Patriots.

44.5 average in 2009, increasing his hang time each and every year, at 6-5 and 240lb's he is built more like a linebacker than a punter.

Eric Smith Signs Tendered Contract

According to the official team website, S Eric Smith has signed his tendered contract as a restricted free agent:

The Jets announced Thursday that veteran S Eric Smith has signed his tendered contract. Smith, a third-round pick out of Michigan State in 2006, is beginning his fifth season with the Green &White.

Last year, E. Smith was a valuable special teams performer who registered 23 tackles. He also started four games defensively, collecting 34 tackles, 6 PDs and one interception. The 6’1", 205-pounder has appeared in 55 career games, having started 14 contests with four picks and 17 PDs.

Rod Boone says he will earn $1.176 million.  Rich Cimini reports that Smith should be there next week to start the off-season.
