Vick should wear #2 just to add one more thing to the list of things he's better than Matt Ryan at.— (@JayErictronica) March 21, 2014
For Sanchez that's the worst side of the nfl. Team carries him while jobs dry up then cut him loose #jets
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 21, 2014
@corryjoel agreed. I think when #jets did deal this was put in intentionally in the event they had to bring him down cost
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 21, 2014
Stop saying controversy. RT @AdamSchefter First NY Jets QB controversy RT @DraytonFlorence Who will wear number #7 Vick or Geno?

Perfect situation for Vick & #Jets. Marty loves Mike's skill set; can actually ask him to do TOO much from time to time. Need one more WR.— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) March 21, 2014
Geno Smith showed VAST improvement over the last four games of the season, but the narrative was already set & few noticed. #Jets
— Benjamin Allbright (@AllbrightNFL) March 21, 2014
The Jets made no attempt to renegotiate Sanchez's contract, per source. They were simply waiting on Vick and then ... goodbye. #nyj— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) March 21, 2014
Vick will walk in the door knowing Marty's version of the West Coast Off. better than anyone in that locker room. Huge positive.
— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) March 21, 2014
Mark Sanchez, you say? He's part of a reason I don't want Manziel. Lacks playing experience in college. Experience is critical.— Pete Smith (@PeteSmithWTFP) March 21, 2014
Hearing from lots of fans saying they will no longer root for the Jets and lots thrilled they signed him. Seems to split the fan base. #nyj

Mark Sanchez is 1 of 2 QBs in #NFL history to reach the conference championship in their first 2 seasons— NFL Stats (@NFL_Stats) March 21, 2014
Michael Vick said he was planning on taking another visit to another team next weekend, but said Jets visit was "jaw dropping" #nyj

Vick leaves Philly with a 20-20 record as a starter -- a fairly fitting indicator of an up-and-down tenure on the field— Zach Berman (@ZBerm) March 22, 2014
Vick was revered in Eagles locker room, though. Whatever his reputation out of it, he carried serious weight among players

MARK MADNESS: QB Mark Sanchez: 68 TD passes, 89 turnovers in 62 reg-season games with #Jets from 2009-12 #NFL— Russell S. Baxter (@BaxFootballGuru) March 22, 2014
Sanchez: New England - Pats would move Mallett if they get the right value. Belichick loves winning w/ Jets' guys. Brady 37 this year
— Jayson Braddock (@JaysonBraddock) March 22, 2014
Number one picks to play for the Jets: Namath, Keyshawn, Testaverde, Vick.— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) March 22, 2014
Sanchez finished his Jets career with 68 touchdowns, 69 interceptions in reg. season. He had a 37-31 record, including playoffs. #nyj
— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) March 22, 2014
Sanchez is 6th all-time in passing yards in #nyj history with 12,092. Namath, Kenny O, Todd, Chad, Vinny in front of him. #ny— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) March 22, 2014
Rex Ryan has always loved Michael Vick's skill set. If it were up to him, Jets would have made a run at him after 2012 season. #nyj
— Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) March 22, 2014
Coming up empty on concerns with Vick signing. Jets saved money, improved at QB, added a good fit for their system at a reasonable price— Chris Burke (@ChrisBurke_SI) March 22, 2014
Tebow's popularity with fans created perceived pressure for Sanchez, but Vick's popularity with teammates will place real pressure on Geno.
— Jeff Darlington (@JeffDarlington) March 22, 2014
#Jets sign Michael Vick. Let me connect some dots. Both Vick & DeSean Jackson are represented by Joel Segal. Could D-Jax be next?— NFL_DRAFT_Bites (@NFLDraftBites) March 22, 2014
If you read CLC, you should know there is zero chance Pettine is taking Mark Sanchez on this team. Watch STL or Buffalo #NFL
— Joe Caporoso (@TurnOnTheJets) March 22, 2014
If the #Jets 100% trusted Geno then they wouldn't have learned anything from the Sanchez situation. They added a vet bc of this.— Drew (@DrewfromJersey) March 22, 2014
For the people who say it's a distraction bc people will be calling for Vick if Geno falters, yeah & they'd call for whoever the backup is

It should be pointed out with all the complaints about Idzik's inaction that he landed the No. 1 QB and WR available in free agency. #nyj— Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) March 22, 2014
If Geno Smith isn't the Week 1 starter, it means he had a disappointing preseason. Organization wants him to be the guy. #nyj
— Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) March 22, 2014
DeSean Jackson is coming off a career-best year & just turned 27. Chip Kelly is a pretty open minded guy. DJax mustve REALLY pissed him off.— Evan Silva (@evansilva) March 22, 2014
Chip worries about how much sodium is in the relish in the cafeteria. Pretty sure a major decision like trading DeSean is well reasoned.
— Brandon Lee Gowton (@BrandonGowton) March 22, 2014
If I were DeSean, would not restructure contract for potential trade. Force Eagles to cut you, negotiate on open market and pick your team.— Sheil Kapadia (@SheilKapadia) March 22, 2014
SB MVP Santonio Holmes was traded for a 5th rounder, overpaid & released. Jets won't make that mistake again. Plus, Philly will release DJax
— PatriotsSB49 (@PatriotsSB49) March 22, 2014
Cimini actually just said that Idzik would "morph into Mike Tannenbaum" by trading for DJax. I can't even.— Spider 2Y OUTRAGEOUS (@gambit1154) March 22, 2014
If you say definitively you know what an "Idzik move" is based on his short time here, please come here and pick Powerball #s for me. #Jets
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) March 22, 2014
The Jets just being in a position to absorb Jackson's salary shows Idzik was right with how he approached free agency. See how that works?— Mike Donnelly (@TheMikeDonnelly) March 22, 2014

Pace and Vick will add $7.5M to the number but the #Jets payroll this year had a good chance to be lowest in the #NFL http://t.co/8hl9KfwhHx— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 22, 2014
@MannyFresco16 Yes they have the lowest cap commitments in the NFL
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 22, 2014
#Eagles never valued D. Jackson as more than $9 mil a year player; Doubt another team really views him more than that unless for 1 year— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) March 22, 2014

Following my last Desean Jackson tweet, got this text from a team scout: "I'd rather have Odell Beckham." So, there's that.— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) March 22, 2014
DeSean Jackson & Eric Decker had the 3rd- & 5th-most rec yards on deep passes in 2013. DJax signing could make Jets explosive.
— Pete Damilatis (@PFF_Pete) March 22, 2014
Don't dismiss Geno Smith. Only Russell Wilson & Peyton Manning had a higher Deep Accuracy % in 2013 (min. 40 deep att). #Jets— Pete Damilatis (@PFF_Pete) March 22, 2014
Common misconception. One of NFL's worst Deep Accuracy % in 2011. MT @KingOfTheChi_ Tim Tebow throws a pretty good deep ball.
— Pete Damilatis (@PFF_Pete) March 22, 2014
Idzik was w the Seahawks when they paid for Flynn & went w Wilson. Vick's salary doesn't mean the Jets have quit on Geno.— Pete Damilatis (@PFF_Pete) March 22, 2014
One thing that's important with DeSean: In most cases like this, rumors are part of the deal, but maybe not here. Jackson can be sensitive.
— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) March 22, 2014
... With the increased noise, the horse is out of the barn. And the Eagles have to know that'd make the relationship tough to repair.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) March 22, 2014
At least Michael Vick can't drown, electrocute, hang, or shoot a football the way he terrorized "man’s best friend." #smh #Jets

Mark Sanchez's ideal landing spot is #Bears. Learn from the QB Whisperer. Sanchez only 27yo. V likely to get another starting opp down road.— Evan Silva (@evansilva) March 22, 2014

After overpaying Mark Sanchez for 6 years, I can't agree that the Jets somehow "did him wrong" this offseason.— Pete Damilatis (@PFF_Pete) March 22, 2014
#Jets interest in DJax is legit.
— Jake Steinberg (@Steiny31) March 22, 2014
Just FYI, if Sanchez is upset the #NYJ waited until so late to cut him, he shouldn't have agreed to a contract w/ a roster bonus so late.— Scott Salmon (@ScottSalmon48) March 23, 2014
Not that there's any indication Sanchez is complaining, it's just the buffoons in the media that think...
— Scott Salmon (@ScottSalmon48) March 23, 2014
the #NYJ mistreated Sanchez by using the contract he voluntarily agreed to and got paid handsomely for.— Scott Salmon (@ScottSalmon48) March 23, 2014
Hearing from sources that the Vikings are likely to sign former #nyjets OL Vlad Ducasse. Chose Minnesota over offer from Bengals.
