Mike Goodson - RB - Jets

Mike Goodson will plead not guilty to both his gun and drug charges.

Goodson's attorney says he was "only guilty of being drunk," and claims he had "no knowledge" of guns or drugs being in an acquaintance's car when it was pulled over last Friday morning. "Mike’s charged with possession of that gun, but we’re confident we’re going to be able to show (the gun wasn’t his)," the attorney said. Goodson will be facing jail time if convicted.

Geno Smith - QB - Jets

Jets OC Marty Mornhinweg says the quarterback competition between Geno Smith and Mark Sanchez may be over before training camp.

"Oh, absolutely," Mornhinweg said when asked if a winner could be determined in OTAs. "Sure. Absolutely. That's all part of the process. Everything we do is important. Our meetings are important… the way we go about our meetings, the way we go about our preparation right now with a new system. These are very important things. Every pass we throw out there in OTAs and these practices are important." Mornhinweg noted that the longer the competition drags out, the less reps the possible starter gets with the first-team offense since they'd be equally splitting them until a winner is named. The Jets wrap up OTAs and mandatory minicamp on June 13.

Mike Goodson - RB - Jets

Mike Goodson reported to Jets OTAs on Monday, but didn't practice.

The Jets are going to want Goodson to lay low until they make a decision on his future. ESPN New York considers Goodson's roster spot a "major question mark" following his Friday arrest on gun and drug charges.

Geno Smith - QB - Jets

ESPN New York considers Geno Smith the heavy favorite to win the Jets' quarterback competition.

Reporter Rich Cimini believes Smith will beat out Mark Sanchez as long as he "proves capable of running the offense." The more intriguing question is whether the Jets prefer Sanchez or Greg McElroy to be Smith's backup. Sanchez needs Smith to have a horrid camp to be guaranteed a roster spot. Otherwise, we believe new GM John Idzik has the stones to cut Sanchez loose despite his fully guaranteed $8.5 million salary.

David Garrard - QB - Jets

ESPN New York reports David Garrard was struggling to "drive the ball" on longer passes before his retirement.

Garrard had been missing workouts, and "bounced some passes." In other words, his knee troubles weren't only evident to him. The Jets' main quarterback question is no longer "who will start," but "Mark Sanchez or Greg McElroy?" The Jets deemed McElroy a better option than Sanchez down the stretch last season, and could do so again unless they can't stomach the idea of releasing a player guaranteed $8.5 million. In terms of skill, the entire organization knows the Sanchez experiment is over.

Mike Goodson - RB - Jets

ESPN New York considers Mike Goodson's future with the Jets a "major question mark."

Goodson's Friday arrest on weapons and marijuana charges would have any player on the hot seat — not just a reserve running back — but reporter Rich Cimini believes he could have time on his side. The Jets still owe Goodson nearly half of his $1 million signing bonus, and it would reportedly be "harder to recoup the money" if he was cut before the legal process plays out. The legal process will take months in this instance. For now, Goodson remains Chris Ivory's backup, but it's written in pencil.

Mike Goodson - RB - Jets

Jets LG Willie Colon believes the team will release Mike Goodson following his arrest on Friday morning.

"It's one of the things where it's zero-tolerance with stuff like that," Colon said. "It's sad. Mike could have been huge for us. He wasn't around a lot, so I didn't really get to see him a lot. For the most part, I was kind of anticipating seeing how he was going to do in OTAs. A lot of guys were upset. They knew the type of ballplayer (he was)." The Jets guaranteed Goodson nearly $2 million two months ago, so we're not quite sure this is the end. But it wouldn't be a surprise if it was. Goodson faces jail time and almost certainly a suspension.

David Garrard - QB - Jets

Retired QB David Garrard says the Jets have offered him a coaching-intern opportunity for 2013 training camp.

Garrard is strongly considering the chance to coach, which confirms his retirement at age 35 is for real. "The Jets offered me the chance to come back if I want to take a shot at that coaching thing with an internship in training camp," Garrard said. "I told them I'd talk with my wife about it, so I could still work with those guys. It's definitely something I'm considering."

Mike Goodson - RB - Jets

Jets RB Mike Goodson has been formally slapped with five charges stemming from his Friday morning marijuana and weapons arrest.

Per USA Today, Goodson has been charged with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana paraphernalia, possession of a handgun, possession of a loaded gun, and possession of hollow-point bullets. He may need a miracle-working attorney to avoid jail time. An NFL suspension also seems likely.

Mike Goodson - RB - Jets

News 12 New Jersey reports Jets RB Mike Goodson was arrested for marijuana and weapons possession early Friday morning.

Goodson and a friend were allegedly "found intoxicated in an SUV" along a Denville, NJ highway. Goodson was reportedly so drunk that he had to be hospitalized, while his gun was loaded with hollow point bullets. Goodson was a passenger in the vehicle. The driver was charged with DUI. Goodson is facing serious charges, perhaps even the kind that could imperil a reserve running back's roster spot. At the very least, he'll be facing a suspension if found guilty.

Quinton Coples - LB - Jets

Jets OLB Quinton Coples says he's responded with increased effort after coach Rex Ryan called him out last week.

"I responded in the weight room and got better," Coples said. "I gave better effort and made sure that won’t happen again." Ryan's tactic worked with a player the Jets need to be a major pass-rushing presence off the edge this season. Coples has some serious ability, but is towering for a linebacker at 6-foot-6, 284 pounds. He's working to slim down. We'd guess he posts a nice sack total after tallying 5.5 as a rookie.

Dee Milliner - DB - Jets

No. 9 pick CB Dee Milliner has fired his agents.

Per the New York Daily News, it was not because Milliner was unhappy with his draft position. It's just a reminder that players switch agents all the time, and that the handwringing over Geno Smith's decision to find new representation was utterly absurd.

Mark Sanchez - QB - Jets

ESPN's Chris Mortensen stated on NFL 32 that people around the league believe Mark Sanchez has regressed as a passer since his first year.

This may seem obvious considering Sanchez's career arc in terms of wins and losses, but it's notable that league observers believe he's regressed as a pure thrower. "People I've talked to say that he is not throwing the ball as well as he was as a rookie," were Mort's exact words. Mortensen suggested the Jets had hoped David Garrard would open the season as the starter, before ceding the position to rookie Geno Smith. And in the ideal scenario, the team would have cut ties with Sanchez. Those plans were scuttled when Garrard surprisingly retired.

Mark Sanchez - QB - Jets

Mark Sanchez has been working on cutting down on turnovers.

"It’s a mentality," Sanchez said. "Whatever it takes. You just stop. I've never thrown the ball away as many times as I have in these first couple weeks as we have in these drills. That’s something you practice. Those things become habit. You continue to rep them and just don’t let it happen. So that’s the plan." Easier said than done. Sanchez has turned the ball over a whopping 52 times over the last two seasons. With David Garrard retiring on Wednesday, Sanchez and second-rounder Geno Smith will "fiercely" compete for the starting job.

Vladimir Ducasse - T - Jets

Jets G/T Vladimir Ducasse knows he has to compete for a roster spot this summer.

"It's now or never," Ducasse said. "It's pretty much a year for me to do what they drafted me to do." Ducasse, the No. 61 overall pick in 2010, has lost competitions for starting roles in each of his first three seasons, and he's started just one game. The Jets have added five offensive linemen via free agency and the draft, and Ducasse will have to compete for a backup job.
