It's unfortunate that Chrebet waited a year too long to retire because of repeated post-consussion complications. That said, he caught a crucial and fitting third-down pass on his final play as a pro. He finishes second on the Jets all-time receptions list behind Don Maynard.

Wayne Chrebet likes his role in new offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger's offense.

Chrebet paired up well with Laveranues Coles a few years ago, but don't expect him to be much more than a third down receiver this season. Many questioned if Chrebet would even play this year and Jerricho Cotchery is pushing for playing time.

Wayne Chrebet looks ''rejuvenated'' in New York's new offense.

Wayne Chrebet acknowledges that his Jets career, and probably NFL career, is over.

Coach Herm Edwards sounded certain Wayne Chrebet will play this week.
