<p>Three years ago, in Rex Ryan's first year on the job, the Jets coach made a bold move in free agency, showing up at linebacker Bart Scott's home when the signing period opened at midnight.</p>

<p>General manager Mike Tannenbaum said not to expect any such grand gestures this year.</p>

<p>"We&#8217;re really looking to try to keep our own initially and then kind of going from there," he said this morning on WFAN's Boomer & Carton show. "I don&#8217;t expect that. This league is filled with unexpected opportunities, and I do pride myself on 'Every rock, every day,' but I don&#8217;t foresee that this year."</p>

<p>Any courtship this year wouldn't begin at midnight anyway, as the free agency period opens at 4 p.m. on March 13.</p>

<p>When Tannenbaum says the Jets will take care of their own first, he presumably means nose tackle Sione Pouha, whom the Jets are working on re-signing before he would hit the open market. The Jets are tight on cap space, so they may have constraints on how active they can be in free agency. </p>

<p>Of course, the Peyton Manning sweepstakes looms -- if the Colts star is both healthy and available. The Jets have not publicly ruled out pursuing Manning, but the question is, if they dip their toe in so to speak, how far will they get?</p>

<p>But as for the highest-priced free agents at other positions of need -- outside linebacker, safety, receiver -- the Jets may not throw themselves into the mix.</p>

<p>One looming question that affects the Jets' cap space is the future of linebacker Bart Scott, who is due a guaranteed base salary of $4.2 million and has a cap hit of nearly $6 million. The Jets and Scott's agent, Harold Lewis, met at the Combine in Indianapolis last weekend and the possibility of a trade was discussed (though Lewis said Scott did not request one nor was permission granted for him to seek one).</p>

<p>Scott's salary may make a trade difficult to pull off, but his guaranteed money also puts the team in a tough spot if it chooses to cut him. Tannenbaum told WFAN that he doesn't see any way in which the Jets would eat a significant cap charge for a player that is not on the roster.</p>

<p>"We&#8217;ll see what we can work out with Bart either being here or not. We&#8217;re not in a bad position," Tannenbaum said. "He had some issues during the season that we&#8217;re trying to address, and we appreciate his passion."</p>

<p>Tannenbaum addressed a few other topics:</p>

<p>++ Wayne Hunter, whose $2.45 million base salary for 2012 was guaranteed this month, will remain the Jets' starter at right tackle, Tannenbaum said. "We expect him to play better this year," Tannenbaum added.</p>

<p>++ Tannenbaum said it's "hard to say" if veteran running back LaDainian Tomlinson will be back with the Jets in 2012. He said the sides have talked, but he is not sure if Tomlinson wants to continue playing. According to a person with knowledge of the team's plans, though, Tomlinson is not expected back with the Jets, whether or not he decides to play another year.</p>

<p>++ Would the Jets consider bringing Braylon Edwards back? The receiver was released by the 49ers in December so he is free to sign with a team right now, but as of yesterday, the Jets had not discussed Edwards with his representatives, per a person with knowledge of the situation. The Jets are first and foremost looking for locker-room leaders and quarterback-friendly receivers, so if Edwards were for instance available on the secondary free-agent market, they would need to determine if he fits that mold. Tannenbaum's take: "Obviously Braylon did a lot of good things for us while he was here. We&#8217;ll see where that goes. He has done some good things in the past, and once free agency gets started, we&#8217;ll go from there."</p>

<p>++ Chad Henne's name has been floated as a possible addition to the Jets' quarterbacks room since Tony Sparano, Henne's former coach in Miami, was hired as the Jets offensive coordinator. Tannenbaum declined to comment on Henne specifically, citing tampering rules, but gave his standard line that there will be changes to the quarterback position group as a whole. He did say that the team is "still looking" at free agents Kevin O'Connell and Mark Brunell -- but it is obvious the team is looking for a new No. 2 between Mark Sanchez and Greg McElroy, both under contract.</p>

<p>++ Tannenbaum praised Baylor quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III as "incredible" and "dynamic." Added Tannenbaum: "He will be a great player for a long, long time. As the league keeps evolving and players like him come in, it&#8217;s just going to add a whole other dimension."</p>

<p>++ There were a few moves last year that Tannenbaum acknowledged didn't work out as planned. He specifically named trading Dwight Lowery, and then struggling with safety depth later in the year, and also the team not retaining veteran fullback Tony Richardson, who was a strong locker-room leader.</p>

<p>One other note on the restricted free-agent tenders. The <a href="http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2012/02/jets_dont_dispel_peyton_mannin.html">Jets plan to tender OLB Aaron Maybin</a> at an original-round level (about $1.3 million), as reported last week, but that may be the only RFA tender they choose to apply. For instance, the Jets are not expected to tender TE Matthew Mulligan, a person with knowledge of the team's intentions said.</p>

<p>The tender amounts are in excess of $1 million this year, a notable chunk of money for a team tight on cap space. And, the Jets' RFAs other than Maybin  -- Mulligan, CB Marquice Cole and OLB Jamaal Westerman -- were each undrafted, so the team would have to tender them at the second-round level (at least $1.8 million) to receive any compensation. That isn't going to happen.</p>

<p>The Jets thus may simply choose to roll the dice and hope to sign back some or all of these players, at a lesser price.</p>

<p>Former Jets executive Matt Higgins has taken on a new role working with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross to build a sports and entertainment company, the Sports Business Journal reported. Higgins stepped down last month from his post as the Jets' executive vice president of business operations and a close adviser to owner Woody Johnson.</p>

				<p>What's kind of been lost in all this dysfunctional locker room talk is that the Jets have some major talent gaps.  They want to ground and pound but don't have a top tier RB, the RT is very inconsistent, o-line depth is weak, the d-line scares no one, the outside LB's are getting old and slow, and overall they rely very heavily on some guys (Pouha, DeVito, E.Scott) who are more role player types.  They weren't 8-8 because guys were in cranky moods...guys were in cranky moods because they were 8-8.  That "we made it to the AFC final" window didn't stay open for long, and without an infusion of talent next year, 8-8 might be a stretch.</p>

<p>And 2 words for anyone even thinking about bringing Peyton Manning in...Brett Favre.</p>

				<p>Fact is that all of the Jets most talented players were drafted under Mangini and not under Ryan. Jets have not drafted any impact players in 3 years under Rex. Not a single player drafted under Rex with pro bowl talent. In essence, Rex took Mangini's players and used his scheme on defense to win games. It took Rex 2 years to completey destroy the chemistry in the Jets locker room. Trading Lowery, a ball hawk, for nothing was moronic. Rex needs to have a good draft this year. Think about it. Mangini drafted Brick, Mangold, Revis, Keller, Brad Smith, Eric Smith, Cotchery, Leon Washington etc. Who has Rex drafted? Sanchez? You kidding me? It has been 3 years and Rex has proven that he is a great defensive coordinator and a head coach who is clueless about the draft and building a good locker room. </p>

				<p>Jets should concentrate on the offense in this draft and in free agency. They need a playmaking running back with speed. I woud love them to deal for Trent Richardson. They also need a guard and a right tackle. Hopefully Tannenbaum was not serious about sticking with Wayne Hunter. Until the Jets improve their offensive line and get faster at WR and RB they are going nowhere. You can have a great defense but you still have to score points to win the division and beat the Patriots. On defense they need a safety. Rex can always put together a good defense. His scheme is that good. Jets must focus on the offensive side of the ball and the line in particuar. By the way, comparing Manning to Favre is crazy. Totally different players. Believe me, Bill Belicheck does not want to face Manning and the Jets twice a year and in the playoffs. </p>

				<p>Not sure why you keep harping on that statement Belichick doesn't want to face Manning twice a yr. or in playoffs.At one time NE and Belichick owned Peyton Manning.It finally took a huge comeback and last minute drive in 2006 AFC Champ.game for Manning to finally get past NE and thats when Colts were loaded.So what do you base this on.Sure Peyton is better than Sanchez[who by the way stomped Patriots in play-offs last yr.] but I don't think this will keep Belichick up at night if it ever did happen.<br />

				<p>Blankovich Peyton Manning never had the top rated defense in the NFL when he faced the Patriots in the playoffs. We all saw what happened to the Colts this past season without Manning. I keep mentioning the Patriots because the Jets have not had a home playoff game in years. The jets must win the division for that to happen. Jets have not won the division even with the best defense and running game in the NFL because of Mark Sanchez and his turnovers. Rex has ignored the offense for three years and drafted nobody with pro bowl talent on offense or defense in 3 years. His promises have back fired and the way he talks up Wayne Hunter and Mark Sanchez has fractured the Jets locker room!</p>

				<p>Can't disagree with what you are saying migraine. Just wanted to point out that in the last Jets home playoff game they beat Peyton Manning and the Colts 41-0 on a warm January night in Giants stadium with Vinnie coming in to relieve Chad in a beautiful blowout victory.<br />
Also, 222 below reminds me of something I have to get off my chest. I am tired of fans saying the Jets need to draft a pass rusher. Pass rushers don't grow on trees. Every team in the league wants one. It is not that easy.</p>

				<p>I could see bringing in Manning if he were healthy, and if the Jets were one player away from winning it all.  Neither is the case.  If they brought him in, they'd have to get rid of Sanchez, then a year later Manning calls it quits, Jets are left without a QB.  There's the parallel to Favre.</p>

<p>Sanchez might never be an elite QB, but they have more immediate needs...RB, LB, safety, DL, RT, etc.</p>

				<p>The Jets need more speed at LB. David Harris can't do it all. I am about to get a Bart Scott jersey and cover my door mat with it cuz he gets walked over so much and Bryan Thomas was out all last year. Safety was a weak spot to begin with and who knows now if Leonard is done or not so that is another spot. Also the Jets need to get some kind of a pass rush from the 4 down lineman. So that needs to be addressed in the draft and free agency as well. Mr. T has alot of work to do this off season for sure.</p>

				<p>No doubt the Jets have a ton of holes to fill on both sides of the ball. Bad drafting the past 3 years under Rex has not helped. Tannenbaum should know the formula by now. It is all about the lines on offense and defense. Everything starts there, especially with a bottom tier quarterback like Sanchez as the starter. The Jets had the best offensive line in the NFL in 2009 and coincidentally had the best running game in the NFL that year also. Why Rex and Tannenbaum have not paid more attention to the offensive line is a mystery. Slauson and Hunter are huge downgrades from Faneca and Woody. The defense is only a player or 2 away from being great again. A better safety and some depth at linebacker and the defense will be fine. As long as the Jets have Revis and Harris their defense has the foundation for greatness.</p>
