Jets get a day off, but not newbie quarterback Matt Flynn by Rich Cimini (ESPN)

"It won’t be a day of R&R for newly-signed quarterback Matt Flynn, who is taking a crash course in Chan Gailey 101. Flynn is four months behind the other quarterbacks, who started learning Gailey’s playbook in April."

Geno Smith or Ryan Fitzpatrick? A no-brainer, according to Bills RB Fred Jackson by Rich Cimini (ESPN)

"It’s unusual for an opponent to admit this sort of thing. In this case, he probably wasn’t trying to insult Smith. As Jackson mentioned, he and Fitzpatrick were teammates with the Bills, from 2010 to 2012."

"“I’ve seen progress,” coach Todd Bowles said. “He still has some work to do. Initially, a tweak to me means you’re out a day or two and you come back, but obviously it’s been bothering him longer than that. He’s getting the necessary help and he’s getting better.”"

"“This is really not even training camp,” Cromartie said. “I don’t know what it is. I’m used to having two-a-days. . . . Two-a-days was fun. It weaned out the guys that was not mentally strong.”"

"Last week, the Jets brought Flynn in for a physical but didn’t workout the veteran, now set to enter his eighth year in the NFL.
