Again, having himi on the team does not neccesarily mean that hey they would win every game, i am not sure how Jets are standing in the offensive ranking (should look it up now). But play-offs would not be out of the question. I would play him sparingly in the first half of the season, to see if Jets has any chance going to the playoffs.

He has not missed a game in, what, 15 years, so reaching the percentage of plays is a given, but the Jets will certainly not go all the way to SB, although playoffs should be within reach. My bet would be on a second-round pick. Agreed.

I like the trade options the Jet agreed on.

Examples of a super-star having an itch to come back are aplenty. I agree that the Packers were a bit blindsided by Favre's sudden un-retirement, but this is not unique either. They should have been more nimble in dealing with the fallout, taking a month to get to a resolution that could have probably been achievable much quicker.

The last thing I needed was Bret going to the Vikings, Adrian Peterson is enough. Still, i think he should have retired. He achieved enough, putting Aaron Rogers and the Packs in the position he did was not very nice. Anyways, I have always respected him as THE Player. No matter the stats, Peyton and Brady have a long way to go to become legends like he is. Good luck to Jets. I will sleep easy.
