The Jets signed free agent Keyon Coleman and brought back Bobby Hamilton. Coleman played in all 16 games last season for the Dallas Cowboys and he made 30 tackles, had 4 sacks, defensed 2 passes and forced a fumble. He likely will battle Hamilton for a starting job. Hamilton played in all 16 games last season for the Jets and he made 30 tackles, defensed a pass and recovered a fumble.
The Jets traded the #37 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft to the Bears for RB Thomas Jones and the #63 pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. This was a great trade for the Jets as they got a solid running back which fills one of the biggest holes on their roster. Jones started all 16 games last season for the Bears and he carried the ball 296 times for 1,210 yards (4.1 ypc) with 6 TD runs. He also caught 36 passes for 154 yards (4.3 avg). Jones will make the whole Jets offense better this season. With the threat of a running game, Chad Pennington should have a much better season throwing the football.
Ramsey only attempted 1 pass last season (it was incomplete). The Jets like Kellen Clemens much better than Ramsey so they decided to cut their losses. It’s possible the Jets could sign a veteran quarterback so that they can ease Clemens along for another season as the #3 QB.
The Jets have cut defensive lineman Bobby Hamilton and running back Derrick Blaylock. Hamilton is getting up in age as he will be 36 before next season starts. He played in 16 games last season and made 30 tackles, defensed a pass and recovered a fumble. The Jets want to get bigger along the defensive front and they will try to do that either in free agency or the draft. Derrick Blaylock was a huge disappointment for the Jets. They gave him a chance early in the season as he played in 4 games (2 starts) and he carried the football 25 times for 44 yards (1.8 ypc). He also caught 5 passes for 29 yards (5.8 avg). Neither of these players is much of a loss for the Jets who will be able to replace both of them easily.
