Asomugha's defection to the Eagles caught the NFL by surprise, with the New York Jets and Dallas considered the front-runners to land the coveted free agent. Now Asomugha will line up against the Cowboys twice a year after reportedly inking a five-year deal worth $60 million. Samuel (27 tackles, 7 INT) wasn't too pleased with the add |

Becht, a former first-round pick, has caught 185 passes for 1,511 yards and 21 touchdowns in 158 career games with the New York Jets (2000-2004), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2005-07), St. Louis Rams (2008) and Arizona Cardinals (2009). The 34-year-old did not play last season. Siler, meanwhile, is lost for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. Signed as a free agent a few weeks ago, |

It was not a surprise that Washington did so well - 2010 was the second season of his career in which he took three kicks back for touchdowns, and his work on special teams with the New York Jets in 2008 made him a first-team All-Pro. Under the NFL's new kickoff return rules, none of those things would have happened. In an effort to curb collision-related injuries on high-speed returns, the league has implemented a number of changes to t |

PROGNOSIS: The Chiefs' truly came of age a year ago, but they'll be challenged to duplicate that success by a rigorous schedule that contains road trips to four 2010 playoff entrants (Indianapolis, New England, Chicago, New York Jets) in addition to home dates with both last season's Super Bowl participants. That alone could signal a slight step back for a team that was able to make it to the postseason primarily by maximizing its resources, as could the absence of esteemed vete |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) - Plaxico Burress tweaked his lower back in practice Tuesday, but says it's no big deal other than ``a little soreness.'' The New York Jets wide receiver, who made his preseason debut Sunday night, says he'll play Saturday against the Giants, his former team. Burress was injured while going up for a pass, but says bumps and bruises are to be expected since football isn't ``badminton.'' He adds football ``is not like walking into a 7-Eleven and buying a Slurpee.'' Coach Rex Ryan |

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) - New York Jets running back Shonn Greene says his infected right foot is feeling better and he expects to play in the team's next preseason game Saturday against the Giants. Greene missed the Jets' 27-7 win over Cincinnati on Sunday night because of the ailment, which caused his foot to swell last week. The team initially called it a "low-grade skin infection," but Greene specified that a corn between two of his toes got infected. He was treated with antibiotics, but adds that i |

| (MySportsbook) - The New York Jets are tired of being second best. Typically viewed in their home environment as the forgotten little brother to the more established Giants throughout most of their existence, the Jets have overtaken their fellow Big Apple tenants as the toast of the city and headliners of the back pages in Rex Ryan's two years as head coach. Whether it's by bringing in marketable big-name talent, starring in gripping reality television shows, or creating a stir with the always-entertainin |

He was back, he thought, right where he should be. ``It was like an out-of-body experience, a surreal feeling,'' the New York Jets wide receiver said. ``I just tried to stay focused.'' No problems there. Burress caught three passes for 66 yards, including a terrific 26-yard, over-the-shoulder touchdown reception, in his first NFL game since 2008 to help the Jets beat the Cinc |
