A few big headlines this morning as we prepare for the match-up against Baltimore.

Jets Sign OLB Aaron Maybin to the Active Roster: He was in, then he was out, and now he back in.

The Jets re-signed former Buffalo Bill Aaron Maybin, who they released from their roster earlier in September, this morning.

Sounds like they have finally realized they need to improve the pass rush after last week’s loss. The Jets only had one sack against Oakland and need someone speedy to get after the quarterback. It helps that Maybin spent some time with the team in the preseason but it’s difficult to say how much time he will see this weekend.

Jason Taylor SAys Henne is More Talented than Sanchez: Miami Dolphin turned Jet turned back to Dolphin Jason Taylor is making headlines with his endorsement of Chad Henne, saying he is better than Mark Sanchez.

What’s so interesting about Taylor’s statement is this, which offers a similar endorsement about Sanchez, circa 2010. In this interview for ESPN he says, “Sanchez is my guy,” and, “I’ve always been one of those guys that rides or dies with his quarterback.”

I think that pretty much sums up this story. It’s not a story. It’s a guy going on record to support his current quarterback, something that any normal teammate would do.

As far the discussion as to who is “better,” I think Mark’s two visits to the AFC Championship should effectively end any argument before it even begins.

Jets are no Longer a Run First Team: Anyone who has watched a single Jets game this year knows that the “Ground and Pound” idea is not their answer to winning games.  Whether the lack of success in the run game comes down to Shonn Greene’s ability or the offensive line is still up for debate; either way, it’s not working.

In an interview Monday, Rex Ryan admitted that they were going to have to get away from running the ball and start throwing more, especially against a very good Ravens defense.

The Jets are already throwing the ball 62% of the snaps in the last 3 games, according to this article from Pro Football Talk.

BTW, the Ravens just announced that they are placing CB Domonique Foxworth on IR. While Foxworth wasn’t at his best in the first few games, his replacement surely will not be that formidable on Sunday either. This secondary is weakened. More reason to throw.

Other Notes

• Jets have also signed LB Eddie Jones to the practice squad. Jones and Maybin account for the two available spots, after Cumberland and Turner were placed on IR.
• Antonio Cromartie did not practice today, He was spotted on the sideline stretching with trainers, along with teammate Nick Mangold. Mangold status for Sunday is unclear but I would expect a more definitive update on both players in the next few days.

The logo for Super Bowl XLVIII, which will be hosted at MetLife stadium in 2014, was released this week. Take a look and share your thoughts.

Perhaps the snowflake is a little nod to the Dallas snowstorm debacle of 2010?

Today’s New York Jets headlines and notes from Day 3 of training camp:

Jerricho Cotchery. Photo c/o big lead sports.

Jets Puts Cotchery and Moore on the PUP List; Cotchery on the Trading Block?:  Wide Receiver Jerricho Cotchery and Right Guard Brandon Moore have both been placed on the physically unable to perform list.

Cotchery had surgery to correct a herniated disk in February and Moore had surgery on his hip in February.  Both players can come off the PUP list as soon as they are ready.  Cotchery says he will be ready by the team’s opener.

A league source confirmed to ESPN New York that the Jets were interested in trading Cotchery, who is currently their No.3 receiver and slot guy.  When asked about the possibility of trading Cotchery, Mike Tannenbaum declined to comment.  Who knows how this situation will shake out.  It’s possible Cotchery’s injury may have the Jets anxious about assuring themselves a No.3 guy.  Either way, the role that Cotchery plays is very important and will hopefully be treated as such (I have no doubt it will).

Cotchery has played his entire NFL career with the Jets.

Rex Ryan Sports a New Tattoo at Jets Open Camp: Ryan got a new tattoo on his right calf while away on vacation in Hawaii last month.  The new tatoo means “believe in yourself”.  You can check out Ryan’s tattoo on the New York Jets Facebook page.

Jason Taylor returns to the Dolphins: Former Defensive Player of the Year Jason Taylor is returning to the Miami Dolphins where he played for 12 seasons.  Taylor is entering his 15th NFL season and currently leads the league in career sacks.

The Dolphins dealt Taylor to the Redskins in 2008.  He then returned to Miami in 2009 and played for the Jets in 2010.  The Jets released him in February.

Braylon Edwards Has Another Brush with the Law: According to Fox 2 in Detroit, 2 people in Edwards’ entourage were arrested at a Birmingham bar for allegedly assaulting employees.  Pro Football Talk describes the altercation, which allegedly involved a knife and a fork.  At around the same time the incident occurred, a strange tweet was sent from Edwards’ account.

Fox 2 says that Edwards had nothing to do directly with the fight and that police officers had no interaction with him.  Edwards later tweeted, “Lost my phone last night someone sent tweets.   Deleted them and changed my password.  Sorry for the mishap hopefully never happens again!”  So we can only assume, based on his later tweet, that it was not Edwards who was inciting a knife and fork fight.  Not really sure what happened at that bar in Birmingham but it can’t be good for Edwards, who recently plead guilty to a DUI and is still waiting to be signed to a team.  Rumors have linked Edwards to the Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Cardinals.

UPDATE: Jets Sign David Harris to a 4-year, $36 million deal: The Jets signed inside LB David Harris to a long term contract today, singing him to a 4-year, $36 million deal ($29.5 million guarantee).  It is the largest guaranteed deal for an inside linebacker in league history.

Here’s what is interesting: The Jets took 60% off of Harris’ cap number from $10.4 mill and got it down to $4 mill by basically throwing his franchise tender out the window.  This was a huge move for the Jets as it leaves them $6 million to now spend in free-agency.

A few notes from Day 3 of training camp:

• The Jets have signed free-agent Safety DaJuan Morgan to add depth.  The team has not officially announced the move.
• Today’s practice, which was the first practice open to fans, drew 2, 775 people.
• Rookie Muhammed Wilkerson has been practicing the past two days as the Jets starting DE and Rex Ryan announced today that Wilkerson will start for the team at DE immediately.  With Shaun Ellis still unsigned, the Jets may not only want to, they may have to go with Wilkerson.  Rich Cimini of  ESPN adds that even if Ellis does sign, he will see a reduced role.
• Ryan is calling 3rd year linebacker Jamaal Westerman the DPR, or “designated pash rusher”
• Joe McKnight, Jeremy Kerley and Kyle Wilson are all candidates to take over on special teams for Brad Smith (who, as you know, will be playing for Buffalo this year).
