Jets’ Muhammad Wilkerson to report for camp

Wilkerson, who reported to training camp Wednesday despite being unhappy with his current contract, intends to play out the final season of his deal if an agreement isn’t reached by the start of the regular season, according to sources.

Todd Bowles has made no bold statements, outrageous guarantees or back-page headlines in his first few months with the Jets. I think we’ve got what we need. I got to see them move around… As soon as those commercials came on, we knew it was just a matter of time before we’d be sitting in a class, staring at the chalkboard, and listening to a teacher talk about something OTHER than Fantasy Football!

New York acquired veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, who found some success working with Gailey in Buffalo, to backup Smith this year.

I have seen the idea floated that the Jets can hedge their bets by putting an early quarterback change on the table in the event the starter gets off to a slow start. “These things take time”. He will have to in order to keep veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick on the bench. He hired Mike Maccagnan as his general manager, bringing aboard someone with deep experience in player personnel – a frequent criticism of Idzik. And, frankly, if winning the Super Bowl wasn’t Bowles’ immediate goal, he probably ought to be selling pencils somewhere.

Jon Gruden, who coached the Raiders and Buccaneers, said Bowles must remember what got him the job as he transitions from assistant coach to head man.

The Jets acquired Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie and Buster Skrine as part of an offseason makeover of one of the most anemic secondaries in the league past year.

CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora expects Geno Smith to get a “solid half season” to show he can maintain the Jets’ quarterback job. The landscape changed in April, when the Jets selected Leonard Williams with the sixth overall pick, giving them a surplus of talented defensive linemen.

The hard hitter struggled as a rookie last season, when he played out of position under coach Rex Ryan, who often ignored the safety position.
