At this time of the year it’s impossible to separate fact from fiction. All kinds of rumors get made.
What are some things people are saying about the Jets?
Joe Thuney & Graham Glasgow are obviously atop the #Jets wishlist once the legal tampering period begins Monday. Another name I’d keep an eye on: Carolina’s Greg Van Roten.

I think the corner market has some risky option this year. Mind you, risky doesn’t necessarily mean bad. It means risky. The Jets do need to upgrade their cornerback spot.

I think the Jets should make an effort to keep Anderson. Still I can’t help but feel like a deal would have already been made if this was going to happen. Anderson is likely to make a lot of money on the open market, and I’m not sure it would be wise to give him a top of the free agent class type deal.
