New York Jets running back Mike Goodson met with team on Monday to discuss his weekend arrest, reports ESPN.com.

Goodson was arrested Friday morning during a traffic stop in New Jersey after the car he was a passenger in was stopped in the left-center lane of Route 80.

Goodson was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a loaded handgun, possession of hollow-point ammunition, possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Goodson was released on $50,000 bail after spending more than 12 hours in jail.

The team is currently going through organized team activities and those are voluntary. Goodson did not participate or even see the OTA’s, according to the report.

Jets owner Woody Johnson said the team still is investigating the matter.

“We’re at a point of investigating the facts,” Johnson said to USA Today. “[General manager] John Idzik met with him this morning, he’ll meet with the coaches today. We’ll try to get the story on what the facts are and go from there. We’re trying to win games and do the right thing. Truth, justice and the American way. We live by it, we really do.”

New York Jets rookie cornerback Dee Milliner can now focus on getting a contract done because he has a new agent after being required to wait for a league-required five business days to hire new representation, reports the SportsBusiness Journal.

The time period actually ended Thursday after Milliner fired his previous agents, Impact Sports on May 10.

Milliner fired Impact Sports and lead agent Tony Fleming after falling out of the top-five in the 2013 NFL Draft. Milliner ended up signing with agents Pat Dye and Bill Johnson on Thursday.

“I know that everything was done to ensure that Mr. Milliner would be drafted as high as possible,” Fleming said to NFL.com. “Dee was the first cornerback selected, and he was drafted ninth overall to the New York Jet. This is a tremendous accomplishment. I wish Mr. Milliner future success in his professional career.”

The Jets next selection in the draft, quarterback Geno Smith, also fired his agents after the draft.

New York Jets running back Mike Goodson was arrested Friday morning and booked on drug possession and gun charges, reports Channel 12 New Jersey.

Woodson was officially charged with possession of marijuana (under 50 grams), possession of drug paraphernalia, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a loaded handgun and possession of hollow point ammunition, according to the New Jersey State Police.

Goodson, 25, and a companion were in a stopped SUV along a highway when a tow truck driver came upon them just after 3:00 a.m. Goodson was being taken to a nearby hospital when officers searching the vehicle found marijuana and a loaded handgun. A police spokesman also said hollow-point bullets were with the gun in the car with Goodson.

Goodson signed a three-year, $6.9-million deal this offseason and was thought to get some playing time with another recent Jets pickup, running back Chris Ivory.

Goodson has been in the NFL for four seasons and played with the Oakland Raiders in 2012, rushing for 221 yards on 35 carries.

More from Channel 12:

Sources say Goodson and a companion were found intoxicated in an SUV along Route 80 in Denville. Authorities have not said why the car was stopped on the highway.

Goodson was being taken to a hospital when authorities discovered marijuana in his possession. Officers searching the SUV also found a loaded 45-caliber handgun.

Both Goodson and his companion, identified as Garret Evans, were taken to a hospital for an evaluation. They were then released to State Police custody and transported to the Netcong barracks.

Bail for Evans was set at $150,000 full cash and Goodson’s was set at $50,000. Both men were transported to the Morris County Jail in default of bail.

New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith practiced with the team on Friday for the first time and didn’t give himself a very good grade.

Smith spoke to the media after practice and said he doesn’t resent any criticism he received in pre-draft scouting reports calling him lazy and questioning his leadership skills. Smith received his playbook from the team the night he was drafted and said he has been hitting the books.

Smith completed 6 of 10 passes during 11-on-11 team drills in his first practice.  He went  11 of 15 in 7-on-7 drills, taking 20 of 25 snaps under center, according to the New York Daily News.

“I’ve been studying my butt off. “I’ve been in the playbook learning formations and learning protections. I’m going to be tough on myself,” Smith said. “So I don’t even want to do it. I’ll let the coaches do the grading. If I’d say, it’s an F. Because I want to be A+… Hey, that’s just the way I do things.”

Jay-Z’s Roc Nation sports agency is reportedly looking to sign New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith (Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

First there were reports this week that Jay-Z was targeting Brazilian soccer star Neymar to join the Roc Nation Sports Agency family, joining recent signees of the New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano and New York Giants’ Victor Cruz.

Thursday morning, Mike Florio of NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk.com reported that the hip-hop-mogul’s agency is now looking to acquire Geno Smith, the second-round draft pick of the New York Jets in this year’s NFL Draft.

According to the report, a number of agencies made a pitch to Smith over two-days of meetings in order to represent the quarterback once he graduates from West Virginia University this spring:

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Smith has wrapped up two days of meetings with potential successors to Select Sports Group, the agency Smith hired after completing his college career at West Virginia. Making presentations were Joel Segal, Rick Smith of Priority Sports, Eugene Parker, Fletcher Smith, and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation agency.

Whether or not Jay-Z himself will look to represent Smith remains to be seen. Since he is not a certified NFLPA agent, he cannot be involved in the process to the extent that he is persuading potential clients to sign with a particular NFLPA agent. But it’s possible Jay-Z will be in contact with Smith to discuss non-football representation, and as Florio writes, “when it comes to understanding how to survive and thrive in New York, it wouldn’t hurt to get (and to heed) advice from Jay-Z.”

Jets head coach Rex Ryan says he wants to coach the team another 20 years. (Elsa/Getty Images)

After a 6-10 2012 season, New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan knows this may be his last opportunity to get the team back where it was when his first two seasons yielded two AFC Championship appearances.

If he can survive this season, Ryan has bigger ambitions saying he wants to coach the team “about another 20 years.”

Currently, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is the league’s longest tenured coach, having been with the team since 2000. Ryan will be entering his fifth season with the Jets and has a career record of 34-30.

“Obviously the results weren’t what we wanted last year, there’s no question about that,” Ryan said to WLNY-TV  ”But I’m excited about this team going forward. One thing’s for certain: Whoever is on the field is going to have to earn their way on there through competition and I think that’s gonna ultimately really help out the team. I believe when we take the field opening day, our guys will be popping out of their skin ready to play.”

While Geno Smith has declared that his decision to fire his agents was not a result of his dropping to the second round of the draft, sources from NFL teams have revealed other reasons why one of the draft’s highest-rated quarterbacks found himself stuck in the green room Thursday night.

Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports reports via sources that Smith acted aloof, disengaged and displayed a general bad attitude during pre-draft meetings. Sources were critical of Smith spending much of his visits on the phone, reading Twitter and texting friends.

From Yahoo! Sports:

“All these other players who were in there were talking to the coaches, trying to get to know people and he was over there by himself,” one source said. “That’s not what you want out of your quarterback.”

“He doesn’t have much presence, not much of a leader,” one executive who studied Smith said. “I don’t think he’s a bad person, but that’s not enough to be a quarterback in this league.”

Cole’s report also includes reports of Smith, two days before the draft, toasting and thanking his agents, calling them “family” and saying they would represent him his entire career.

“His biggest problem is that he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know,” said a league executive, who spent extensive time assessing Smith before the draft. “I’m not sure he knows how to take instruction because he pretty much wouldn’t listen or talk to our coaches … he’s talented. He can sling it, he can fit it into tight spots, he can do a lot of things and I think he wants to be good. But you can’t tell him anything right now. He’s tuned out because he thinks he’s got it all down.”

Deadspin’s Barry Petchesky cited a person close to Smith as saying his decision to fire his agents was based on the agency’s failure to successfully promote his value when it became apparent he might fall out of the first round. Smith was also unhappy with the negative fallout from not playing in the Senior Bowl — a decision his agents pushed.

Smith, taken by the Jets in the second round, said his goal is to become the team’s “franchise quarterback” but realizes that he has a lot of work to do.

Tim Tebow was waived by the New York Jets. (Getty Images)

The inevitable move finally happened: the New York Jets have waived quarterback Tim Tebow, who was informed of the decision Monday morning after reporting to workouts.

It has only been 15 months since Tebow led the Denver Broncos to a Wild Card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. But many have questioned whether Tebow is starting NFL quarterback material, and the Jets hurt his chances by releasing him after free agency and the draft.

The Jets drafted West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith with the eighth pick in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday and were carrying six QBs on the roster, including Mark Sanchez, former Jaguars quarterback David Garrard and Greg McElroy. Parting ways with Tebow brings the Jets down to five QBs.

Earlier reports suggest the Jets intend on keeping Sanchez at least into the preseason.

After the Broncos traded Tebow last year to the Jets, he put up a poor performance for New York, attempting only eight total passes while averaging 3.2 yards per carry. Rex Ryan gave his rookie QB McElroy chances over Tebow, while using Tebow sparingly out of the wildcat and in punt protection formations.

PHOTOS: Classic shots of Tim Tebow

Ryan had kind words to say about Tebow following the release. Via ProFootballTalk:

“We have a great deal of respect for Tim Tebow,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said in a release.  “Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped.  Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason.  We wish him the best moving forward.”

Eli Langer (@EliLanger) April 29, 2013

Two days after New York Jets general manager John Idzik would not say whether much-maligned starting quarterback Mark Sanchez would remain on the team through training camp, Newsday’s Bob Glauber reported that the team intends to keep him at least through the preseason.

Glauber also reported that the Jets will give Sanchez a shot to compete for the starting job, along with former Jaguars quarterback David Garrard and the newly drafted Geno Smith.

Glauber’s report isn’t particularly surprising. But after the Jets selected Smith in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Idzik wouldn’t say if Sanchez would remain on the roster through training camp — or even throughout organized team activities.

The Jets, though, have no reason to part ways with Sanchez at this point. Thanks to the contract extension he signed after the Jets failed to court Peyton Manning last year, they will have to pay him $8.25 million this season whether he is on their roster or not.

The New York Jets traded their 2013 fourth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for running back Chris Ivory, according to multiple reports. The Saints received the 106th overall pick in exchange for Ivory.

The Jets’ addition of Ivory follows the 39th overall selection of West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith.

In six games with the Saints last season, Ivory rushed for 217 yards and two touchdowns with an average carry of 5.4 yards. The Jets offense was one of the worst in the NFL last season. The Jets offense ranked last in yards-per-game (299.2 yards), last in passing yards-per-game (18o.7 yards) and 28th in points-per-game (17.6 points).

Alabama coach Nick Saban isn’t happy with the media making an immediate comparison of Dee Milliner and Darrelle Revis. Milliner, Saban’s former cornerback, was selected ninth by the Jets in the NFL Draft on Thursday night. Milliner as a replacement to the recently departed Revis is on everyone’s mind, which doesn’t sit well with Saban.

From ProFootballTalk’s report:

“I can already tell the tone of what you all are doing,” Saban told reporters. “What’s Revis got to do with Dee Milliner coming here? Just let Dee Milliner be Dee Milliner. Let Dee Milliner play like Dee Milliner plays. Whether Revis used to play there or not, what’s that got to do with Dee Milliner? Why do you want to make comparisons and make it like a circumstance for the guy before he ever gets a chance to go on the field? I think Dee has a vision for the kind of player that he wants to be, and I think he’ll be a very, very good player for a long time.”

Saban told the media that comparing Milliner to Revis, who was recently traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, would be counterproductive for Milliner and the team.

“People have a much better chance of helping Dee Milliner be successful by being positive and supportive rather than being difficult on him,” Saban said.

While it’s true that it would be better for New York to see Milliner as a new cornerback — and a top 10 pick — fans will undoubtedly consider Milliner the heir apparent to Revis.

West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was left waiting in the the NFL Draft green room at the end of Thursday night’s first round. Will he go early in the second round? Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News tweeted the Jets will consider selecting Smith with the seventh pick of the second round, No. 39 overall.

Smith told the New York Post the Jets were among the teams interested in him, after having dinner with the Jets’ offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg and senior personnel evaluator Terry Bradway the night before his March 14 Pro Day at West Virginia.

The Jaguars, holding the first pick of the second round, Eagles and Cardinals are also considered to be interested in drafting a quarterback in the second round.

Smith originally told ESPN he would not be around to take the stage at Radio City Music Hall on Friday, electing not to attend the second and third rounds. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted Smith changed his mind Friday morning.

The Jets are reportedly interested in quarterback Ryan Nassib. (Nate Shron/Getty Images Sport)

Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg is “very high” on quarterback Ryan Nassib, ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio reported Wednesday (via Rotoworld).

Nassib, out of Syracuse, is one of the top prospects in what experts say is a weak quarterback class. Most mock drafts have West Virginia’s Geno Smith as the first quarterback off the board. Nassib, USC’s Matt Barkley, Florida State’s E.J. Manuel and NC State’s Mike Glennon are also expected to go in the first three rounds of this week’s draft.

The Buffalo Bills have been linked with Nassib from the beginning of the draft process. Nassib’s college coach, Doug Marrone, was just hired as Buffalo’s coach.

KING: Breaking down the quarterback class

Initially, it looked like Buffalo might be able to wait until the second round to pick the quarterback, if they are interested in him. But Nassib’s stock seems to be rising, and the Bills may need to act sooner.

“The Buffalo Bills want Ryan Nassib,” Paolantonio reported. “But they’re very concerned the Jets will take him later in the first round. So the Bills may be forced to take him at No. 8.”

The Jets, with the No. 9 and No. 13 picks in the first round, have a lot of options — and a lot of needs. The team’s interest in Nassib could be sincere. Mark Sanchez struggled last season, and general manager John Idzik may think the team needs a new quarterback to start the rebuilding process.

DEITSCH: ESPN, NFL Network unveil NFL draft plans

But this could also be a smokescreen from the Jets. This close to the draft, it can be hard to tell what’s true. The Jets may be leaking their supposed interest in Nassib to try to pressure Buffalo into selecting him with the No. 8 pick. If Buffalo did pick Nassib there — and the Jets weren’t actually interested in the quarterback — New York’s chances of getting the players they want with their two first-round picks would increase.

Darrelle Revis saluted Jets fans on Twitter Sunday night,  hours after the team finalized a trade to send the star cornerback to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for this year’s 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft and another selection next year.

The full message is below:

“Ibeen sitting around for the last hour trying to figure out what to say to the Jet Nation & I came up with this. The six years I played for the New York Jets were unbelievable. I put my body on the line everyday & did everything could to help the team win. I experienced a lot & & learned a lot. The memories I had in New York I will keep dearly to my heart. I want to thank all the jets fans for making me feel welcome.”

Not everyone in the Revis camp was as sentimental after his departure. One source close to Revis told the New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta that the “organization is not committed to winning.”

After being traded by the Jets, Darrelle Revis has agreed to terms with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a six-year deal, the Bucs announced on Sunday.

Tampa Bay sent a 2013 first-round pick and a conditional 2014 3rd- or 4th-rounder to New York in exchange for the star cornerback.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the six-year contract will pay Revis $16 million each season for a total of $96 million, but none of that money is guaranteed even though he is recovering from a torn ACL.

It will make him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.

Revis’ former teammate, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie, already expressed his disapproval of the move.

The Jets drafted Revis with the 14th overall pick in the 2007 draft. He emerged as a Pro Bowler in 2008 and made four straight Pro Bowls — leading New York to the playoffs in 2008 and 2009 — before suffering the knee injury during the second game of the 2012 season.

New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has pretty much kept his mouth shut about the circus atmosphere surrounding backup Tim Tebow coming to town last offseason.

Now Sanchez says that the team was ultimately responsible for how they handled the Tebow situation and the excessive coverage that came with it.

“I just don’t know if it was the best situation for either of us, but you play with the cards you are dealt with and do the very best you can,” Sanchez said about the Tebow coverage, via the New York Daily News.

Sanchez is due $8.25 million next season, part of a five-year, $58.25 million contract signed last year, while Tebow has been rumored to be on the trading block.

More from the New York Daily News report:

“Well, I think part of that, too, is ESPN didn’t necessarily sneak in overnight at our training camp,” Sanchez added about the daily on-site coverage by the cable outlet in Cortland, NY, last year. “They had to get permission to go. You can avoid that stuff on your own if you like, in my opinion, but he’s a popular guy and people gravitate towards the guy. He’s a special person and a heck of a competitor, so people want to know what’s going on, but that’s all I got on that.”

Jets coach Rex Ryan ripped the Baltimore Orioles for not moving their game to accomodate the Ravens. (Joe Sargent/Getty Images)

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan ripped into the Baltimore Orioles while discussing a scheduling conflict involving the team that prevents the Baltimore Ravens from opening the season at home as Super Bowl champions.

The NFL announced last month that because Major League Baseball and the Orioles wouldn’t budge from a previously scheduled game, the Ravens will not get to open the season at home, something that has become tradition for Super Bowl champions. The Orioles already have a game scheduled on Thursday, Sept. 5, against the Chicago White Sox.

The fact that the Orioles refused to move their game infuriated Ryan, the Ravens’ former defensive coordinator.

“Well who really cares, you’ve got 81 at home, maybe you could have done the right thing and given one up and then played 82 on the road and then 80 at home,” Ryan said, according to the New York Daily News. “I really don’t think people are going to care about that game.”

“You have a chance to have the defending world champs open up the season at home where they rightfully should. That’s unfortunate,” he added.

Ryan’s comments came on a conference call discussing the Jets’ 2013 schedule. The Ravens, meanwhile, will kick off next season with a game in Denver against the Broncos on Sept. 5.

Tim Tebow’s future as an NFL quarterback could be in doubt for the 2013 season. (Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)

Just as Tim Tebow’s quarterback stock seems to be at an all-time low, a personal quarterback coach claims he’s fixed the passing mechanics that have rendered the former Heisman Trophy winner an NFL enigma.

Steve Clarkson, a well-known quarterback consultant who has also worked with NFL quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Leinart, told Newsday he spent three days in February in Arizona tinkering with all elements of Tebow’s passing, including his notoriously awkward throwing motion that hinders his accuracy. Clarkson said it was Tebow’s footwork that was negatively affecting his passing — and the problem has been fixed, thanks in part to some martial arts work:

“The footwork is essentially what caused a lot of his looping motion,” Clarkson told Newsday. “A lot of what was happening with his throwing motion and why it was elongated was because of the way he placed his feet at the end of his drop. Right before he’d make his throw, his hips would stop at mid-motion, and the ball would come off in funny places. So that was one thing that we really honed in on, was trying to tie his feet up.”

Clarkson said Tim Tebow still has a future as an NFL quarterback, if a team will give him another chance.

“I would hope wherever he ends up, they give him an opportunity to play, because if they do, they’ll be pleasantly surprised,” Clarkson said. “I think the guy can still play.”

Tebow, originally selected by the Broncos with the 25th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, remains under contract with the Jets for the 2013 season and reported Monday morning for the Jets’ offseason training program. New general manager John Idzik has not discussed Tebow’s future with the Jets following a season in which he was relegated to third-string quarterback after starter Mark Sanchez was benched.

Tebow has been linked to several offseason moves including a return to his hometown of Jacksonville that was refuted by the Jaguars’ new general manager David Caldwell.

The Jets are pausing Darrelle Revis trade talks with the Bucs. (Getty Images Sport/Getty Images)

The New York Jets are pausing the Darrelle Revis talks, according to a report from ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio. It seems that the Jets are trying to squeeze more out of the Bucs, the only team pursuing Revis.

Per Peter King, the Bucs are offering first-, third- and fifth-round picks for Revis. Despite a perceived tension between the two teams over whether the first round pick would come in the 2013 or 2014 draft, the Bucs were willing to give up the first-rounder this year, the 13th overall selection.

It’s unlikely that the Jets will be keeping Revis; instead, Jets GM John Idzik is probably pushing the Bucs to see how much he can get for Revis.

The cornerback underwent surgery to repair his torn ACL back in October, and is scheduled to have an MRI some time on Monday. The results of the MRI could affect the way trade talks play out.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are willing to trade the No. 13 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft to the New York Jets in exchange for All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis, but the Jets are looking for a lot more compensation, reports ProFootballtalk.com.

Revis has been the subject of trade talks the entire offseason as he has been looking for a long-term deal. Revis signed a four-year, $46 million contract in 2010, which contained $32.5 million guaranteed.  Starting in 2014, the next three years of his contract are voidable.

The Buccaneers have a loosely, self-imposed deadline of about a week before the draft to complete a trade for Revis, reports the Tampa Bay Times.

From ProFootballTalk:

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation tell PFT that the Buccaneers are willing to send the 13th overall pick in the 2013 draft to the Jets for Revis.  The Jets, however, want “a lot more” than this year’s first-round pick, we’re told.

It’s unclear what else the Jets want.  Last month, the Vikings got a first-round pick in 2013, a seventh-round pick in 2013, and a third-round pick in 2014 for receiver Percy Harvin.  It’s possible the Jets want that, or something close to it.

The three-day NFL Draft starts Thursday, April 25.

New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow plans to attend the voluntary workouts the team has scheduled next week if he is still on the roster, reports the New York Post.

Tebow has been the source of trade rumors since the end of a disappointing 2012 season, which saw the Jets fall to a 6-10 record.

Tebow was traded to the Jets last March after spending the first two seasons of his career with the Denver Broncos. Tebow threw the ball only eight times last season, completing six passes for 39 yards. He also ran the ball 32 times for 102 yards.

Trade talks between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Jets for star cornerback Darrelle Revis appear to have hit an impasse, as the Buccaneers are growing frustrated with the pace of negotiations.

Citing three sources, Yahoo Sports’ Jason Cole reported Sunday of the roadblock between the Jets and Buccaneers, who appear to be the only serious trade partner for Revis.

From Cole’s report:

The Buccaneers are not only willing to trade a combination of a first-, third- and sixth-round picks for Revis, they are also willing to pay the corner in the area of $15-16 million per year on a long-term contract.

Idzik, who did not return a text message sent to him by Yahoo! Sports, has been coy about trading Revis. He has repeatedly said he is not “actively” trying to trade Revis, though multiple teams have said he is willing to listen to offers.

At this point, the Bucs or any other team interested in having Revis long-term may simply wait until he becomes a free agent in the offseason rather than trade for him.

Cole’s report came on the same day ESPN.com’s Rich Cimini reported on another developing rift between Revis and the Jets. The team is insisting that they will enforce language in Revis’ contract that only provides him with bonus money if he participates in the Jets’ offseason conditioning program.

According to Cimini’s report, Revis wants to stay in Arizona, where he has been rehabbing his surgically repaired knee with his personal trainer. He would like to avoid any distractions that come with a trip to the Jets’ training facility. But he is expected to participate in order to collect $3 million in bonus money.

Although Darrelle Revis and the New York Jets are at odds over the star cornerback’s contract, Revis will have plenty of incentive to attend the team’s voluntary workouts.

A clause in Revis’ contract requires him to participate in voluntary workouts in order to receive bonus money, according to ESPN.com’s Rich Cimini.

Revis, who is entering the final year of a four-year, $46-million contract, is expected to report to the team’s offseason conditioning program when it begins on April 15. If he does not report, it would cost him $3 million, according to Cimini.

From the report:

When Revis renegotiated his contract in 2010, following his second holdout in three years, he agreed to a clause that requires his attendance in all offseason activities — even non-mandatory workouts, sources said.

If Revis doesn’t participate in approximately 80 percent of the workouts, he will forfeit not only a $1 million workout bonus, but two other bonuses — a $1 million roster bonus (triggered March 17, but payable at a later date) and a $1 million reporting bonus at the start of training camp.

They’re tied together, providing significant financial motivation to attend. It was the Jets’ way of making sure Revis stays on his best behavior, an aspect of his four-year, $46 million contract that was kept relatively quiet — until now.

The Jets plan to have Revis, 27, abide by the requirement, even though he is still rehabbing from a torn ACL that he suffered in October. The team has made the four-time Pro Bowler, available in trade talks throughout the offseason.

New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis said he is not optimistic about a deal being completed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL.com reporter Ian Rapoport. Rapoport states that Revis wants to stay with the New York Jets but it is unlikely the team will meet Revis’ contract demands.

Revis can opt out of his current deal and become an unrestricted free agent after the 2013 season. The Bucs are reportedly bullish on surrendering their 13th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft in a trade for Revis.

The six-year cornerback has recorded 19 interceptions and 241 tackles over his career with the New York Jets.

Former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum has joined a sports agency as the head of its new division for contract negotiations with coaches, front office personnel and broadcasters, according to multiple reports on Twitter.

The news Tannenbaum would be joining Priority Sports & Entertainment was first reported by CBS Sports’ Bruce Feldman.

Feldman reported that Tannenbaum is a graduate of Tulane Law School.

The former Jets GM was fired at the end of last season. New York’s offense stumbled in a 6-10 season. Tannenbaum had been the team’s general manager since 2006.

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan says Mark Sanchez will be the starter come training camp, but the other quarterbacks on the roster will have a chance to compete for a spot.

Ryan said the team needs to get better at that position and that Sanchez’s spot as the starter is not guaranteed.

“The first snap, he’ll be the guy running out there first,” Ryan said of Sanchez, via ESPN.com.“But there’s going to be competition at that spot, there’s no question about it.”

The Jets brought in David Garrard, who hasn’t played since 2010, to compete with Sanchez. And there is always the question about backup Tim Tebow.

“He’s on the roster, and he’ll get a chance to compete,” Ryan said about Tebow. “We’ll see how the offseason plays out, but right now Tim is on our roster.”

Whether Tebow is on the roster in the next couple of months is certainly up for debate. Tebow’s name has swirled in trade rumors for the past two months and it was reported that the team tried to trade him during the scouting combine. The team could also release him.

Jets coach Rex Ryan told reporters that the team was not actively trying to trade cornerback Darrelle Revis, according to Bart Hubbach of the New York Post. Ryan emphasized that they were open to all possibilities, including an extension for Revis. The Jets have been openly engaged in discussions with other teams to ship Revis elsewhere over the past few weeks.

Revis, 27, was drafted by the Jets in the first round (14th overall) of the 2007 draft. He’s been a starter for all six years, but suffered a season-ending knee injury in a game against the Dolphins last September and underwent reconstructive surgery in October. With a contract of $11.5 million per year, Revis is the NFL’s highest paid defensive back, according to the NFL’s Albert Breer.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not ruled out trading their first-round pick for New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, the Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud reported on Monday.

At the NFL owners spring meetings in Arizona on Monday, Tampa Bay general manager Mark Dominik did not hide his potential interest in Revis, who has been the subject of trade rumors throughout the NFL offseason.

“If we think it’s in the best interest of the team, we will do something,’’ Dominik told Stroud. “If that’s a player that everybody is speculating (Revis) or maybe it’s a player at a position that nobody has thought about. But certainly, these meetings are very healthy for those kinds of discussions to see if there is a way to get this team better and does that include players or draft picks or a combination? That’s what we’ll look at.’’

The Buccaneers have the 13th pick in next month’s NFL Draft. But the team views Revis as much more of a sure thing in its attempt to revamp its secondary. Last week, the Bucs agreed to a five-year deal with former 49ers safety Dashon Goldson.

Dominik gushed about the rarity of a shutdown corner like Revis.

“They’re really hard to find,’’ Dominik said. “They really are rare and that makes them an interesting commodity. You go into the draft every year and everybody thinks maybe that’s the guy but there are very few of them. When they come out, it’s pretty noticeable who they are.’’

According to Stroud, however, any deal likely wouldn’t get done for at least the next few weeks.

Tim Tebow is still on the Jets roster for now, but he will undoubtedly be released soon. Not one NFL team has expressed interest in taking Tebow, not even his hometown Jaguars.

If Tebow can’t find a new team, Orlando Predators owner Brett Bouchy is ready to sign him.

“Tim would certainly want to first exhaust his opportunities in the NFL, but we’d love to have him,” Orlando Predators owner Brett Bouchy told the Orlando Sentinel. “I think he would definitely improve as a quarterback in our league.”

Tebow wouldn’t be the first NFL QB to try Arena Football. Kurt Warner spent three years with the Iowa Barnstormers before signing with an NFL team.

“Kurt Warner told me once that when he got back to the NFL after playing in the Arena League, the NFL game was like slow motion,” said Bouchy. “Everything in the Arena League is just so much faster and quicker and predicated on accuracy. Whenever Tim is willing, we have a contract waiting for him to sign.”

Willie Colon has signed a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the New York Jets. Colon was released by the Steelers earlier this week to clear $5.5 million in Pittsburgh’s cap space.

The seven-year vet has experience at both guard and tackle, and should make a nice addition to the Jets, provided his chronically injured knees hold up.  Colon has had three consecutive seasons end because of his knees; his 2012 season ended with a knee injury that required surgery to repair.

The New York Jets have signed free-agent running back Mike Goodson to a three-year, $6.9 million deal, according to reports.

The Carolina Panthers drafted Woodson out of Texas A&M in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He was traded to the Oakland Raiders in March of 2012.

He averaged 6.3 yards in 35 carries including a long run of 43 yards, and also had 16 receptions for 195 yards including a 64-yard touchdown in 2012 with the Raiders.

The Jets previously lost running back Shonn Greene to the Tennessee Titans in free agency.

The Jets reportedly have a “good” trade offer on the table for cornerback Darrelle Revis. (Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

The New York Jets have received what one NFL source calls a “good” trade proposal for star cornerback Darrelle Revis, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reported Monday.

From Florio’s report:

A league source tells PFT that the Jets have an offer on the table for Revis.  Per the source, the offer is a “good” one, both as to the compensation given to the team and the financial package that would be extended to Revis.

Revis could be the next big name to be traded after a flurry of significant moves Monday that sent wide receiver Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks and Anquan Boldin to the San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers have been one of the teams expressing interest in a trade for Revis, who said last week that it would be “awesome” to play in San Francisco. The Daily News reported last week that the Jets have two or three “legitimate buyers” serious about obtaining Revis, who has one year left on his contract.

Florio reported Monday that the Jets have not shared with Revis what kind of new contract would be offered to him under the “good” trade proposal on the table. Any team trading for Revis while giving up a high draft pick would presumably want the opportunity to sign the star corner to a long-term deal that extends beyond next season.

The New York Jets signed veteran quarterback David Garrard on Monday in hopes of bolstering their backup corps behind starter Mark Sanchez, the team announced.

Garrard, 35, has not played since the 2010 season when he threw for 23 touchdowns and 2,734 yards as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He made the Pro Bowl following the season.

Last March, Garrard signed with the Miami Dolphins on a one-year deal and was the favorite to win the starting job before undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his back. The team released him in September.

Garrard, a nine-year veteran, has thrown for 16,003 yards with 89 touchdowns and 54 interceptions in his career.

The Jets have reportedly asked Santonio Holmes to cut his salary. (Elsa/Getty Images)

The New York Jets have asked wide receiver Santonio Holmes to restructure his contract so the team can clear some salary cap space to go after free agents, reports ESPN.com.

Holmes is set to make $11 million next season and is guaranteed up to $7.5 million regardless of if has a roster spot or not. The team would pick up the remaining balance of up to the $7.5 million if he signs with another team.

Holmes, 29, missed the majority of the 2012 season with a Lisfranc injury to his left foot and is due $8.25 million in 2014, with $1 million roster bonus due next March and $6.5 million in 2015 as part of a five-year, $45.25 million contract he signed in 2011.
