Mark Sanchez - QB - Jets

An anonymous teammate tells CBS Sports he believes the Jets should move on from Mark Sanchez.

"Everyone on the team likes Mark personally but there's a general feeling among some of the players that maybe it's time to give someone else a chance," the teammate said. He estimates "80-90 percent of the team feels the same way he does." It only matters what new GM John Idzik thinks, but he appears to agree with his anonymous player.

Mike Goodson - RB - Jets

Mike Goodson — who is facing felony gun and drug charges — will return to Jets practice next week.

With Goodson claiming innocence on his gun charges — by far the most serious he's facing for last week's drunken arrest — the Jets will let the legal process play out before making a decision on his future with the team, as they should. Technically, the decision is Goodson's since the sessions are voluntary, but the Jets could have "encouraged" him to stay away. Goodson is far from out of the woods, but the odds are increasing that he'll still be Chris Ivory's backup come Week 1.

Chris Ivory - RB - Jets

The New York Post says Chris Ivory is sitting pretty as the Jets' feature back.

Mike Goodson's future is unclear following his ugly drug and weapons arrest, and Joe McKnight is reportedly not a favorite of new GM John Idzik. That leaves only Ivory and Bilal Powell, who has averaged 3.72 YPC through two NFL seasons. The Jets are going to have to lean heavily on the run game with their quarterback situation in shambles. Their offensive line has potential to be a top-10 unit in run-blocking. If healthy, Ivory will have RB1 upside.

Stephen Hill - WR - Jets

Stephen Hill has sat out the Jets' first two OTA sessions with swelling in his surgically-repaired right knee.

Hill declared himself "100 percent" earlier this month, but that's not the case. Recovering from an operation to repair his LCL, Hill needs as many offseason reps as possible after being utterly lost for the majority of his rookie campaign. He's not off to a good start.

Mike Goodson - RB - Jets

According to the New Jersey State Police report, Mike Goodson was "incoherent, slobbering and had vomited all over himself as well as the interior of the vehicle" when he was arrested Friday morning.

As previously reported, Goodson was so drunk he had to be hospitalized. According to the report, police found a "baggie of marijuana in Goodson's pants pocket." The loaded gun was found elsewhere in the car. Goodson's attorney has insisted he'll be cleared of the gun charges. "We firmly believe the gun charge is not going to last against Mike." The gun allegations are far more serious than the drug charges.

Mark Sanchez - QB - Jets

Mark Sanchez went 6-of-11 with three interceptions in Jets OTAs Wednesday.

One pass was picked off by second-year UDFA DT Damon "Big Snacks" Harrison. Geno Smith wasn't much better, going 4-of-10 with a pick of his own. Coach Rex Ryan called Sanchez's display "unacceptable." The Jets' quarterback competition is going to get worse before it gets better, assuming it ever does.

Santonio Holmes - WR - Jets

The Jets don't expect Santonio Holmes (foot) to participate in June's mandatory minicamp.

It's not a surprise, as Holmes is still considered iffy for the beginning of training camp after going down last September. Holmes' injury was serious, but he doesn't seem to be rehabbing with a sense of urgency, instead taking classes at Ohio State. This is a marriage both sides appear keen to end. They almost certainly will in 2014.

Geno Smith - QB - Jets

Geno Smith has signed with Jay-Z's Roc Nation for his representation.

He'll be represented by Kim Miale. According to USA Today's Mike Garofolo, Miale's only two other clients are K Carlos Martinez and LB Brandon Hicks. Neither has ever appeared in an NFL game. Smith insists his decision to align with the neophyte agency is not an "image thing."

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.
