Person familiar with plans says Jets’ DE Muhammad Wilkerson will report for

Rex Ryan is gone.

“Frustrated, yeah”, Wilkerson said during minicamp. I want to see Coach Bowles successful. I got to see them move around…

The Jets had a fierce defensive last year that only got better with the selection of Leonard Williams in the first round of the NFL draft.

And, so far, he has left a favorable first impression.

“I’ve seen progress”, Gruden said of Smith. “I love the way that he treats us as men, holds us accountable”.

NEW ERA: Owner Woody Johnson loved having Ryan as his coach, but felt it necessary to make sweeping changes.

New general manager Mike Maccagnan wasted little time addressing an area ex-general manager John Idzik left barren. And, frankly, if winning the Super Bowl wasn’t Bowles’ immediate goal, he probably ought to be selling pencils somewhere. Usually it takes a few years for a new head coach to put his imprint on an entire organization but with the way Bowles has handled himself since he arrived on the Jets, has all been a refreshing change of pace.

Revis nicknamed the defensive duo “Batman and Robin” – Revis is Batman – and returns after a bitter divorce in 2013 sent him to Tampa Bay. Smith was 3-11 last season and played well in the wins with 5 tds and just 1 int, but in the 11 losses he threw 8 tds and 12 ints.

Add in fellow free-agent signings cornerback Buster Skrine and safety Marcus Gilchrist and the Jets’ secondary is suddenly a strength. New York Jets QB Geno Smith.

Marshall, who’ll complement Eric Decker and Jeremy Kerley, roomed with Smith in the offseason and the two often worked out together. “He brings so much to the table for us”.

The big news from the team’s facility was that both Muhammad Wilkerson as well as Sheldon Richardson were on time and actually in the building early. Incumbent Willie Colon isn’t a lock to retain his job, not with youngsters Oday Aboushi, Brian Winters and Dakota Dozier challenging him. “It’s not a year-long thing for anybody”.

CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora expects Geno Smith to get a “solid half season” to show he can maintain the Jets’ quarterback job. With Wilkerson fully back into the picture, the Jets should have one of the league’s best defensive lines especially when Richardson returns from his suspension.

“It all depends on how he’s not performing, whether it’s the first game, second game, third game”.

If not, then Fitzpatrick will be behind center sooner than later and the Jets will be in the unenviable position of looking for a franchise quarterback while fielding a roster that otherwise is built to win now. Several other positions need sorting, particularly at running back, right guard and depth at wide receiver and linebacker.
