Not the big signing news I was expecting, but still fantastic news. It's funny that right at the beginning of free agency people were sort of criticizing Chevy saying he should be doing more. I say locking up their current up and coming players rather than over paying for every FA out there is a far better plan.

Watching the Jets will continue to be exciting for years.

As a Kane and Wheeler owner, I certainly hope they will play on the same line! The combination of their size and speed would be great to see over a full season. I like the additions of Jokinen and Poni, it gives a new dimension to this line-up. They're not the most popular players, but in the right situation, they'll be very serviceable ----> see Poni in NJ, and Jokinen last year in CGY.

KEEPERS FROM LAST SEASON IN BOLD

News is breaking slow this time of the year, but something to note, Bogosian will miss 3 to 6 months with an injury.

If anyone is interested, here's my write up on Postma. I know a lot of people will be looking for some under-the-radar type signing, and Postma will be just that.

Just a quick update--

Hopefully no one here has forgotten about this team coverage page. The summer was very slow especially with CBA negotiations going on. Not much to talk about from the Jets front unless you like repetitive Evander Kane rumors.

I'll have an article out soon with my sleepers/surprises, and disappointments for the Jets this season. Things will pick up here nicely, and as the season (hopefully there is one) nears closer, I'll have a lot more to say in here.

Remember to check often and ask any questions as I will be here to answer them all. I'll also update here whenever I have a new piece out. As always, if you need to contact me, feel free to PM me or find me on Twitter down below.

Annual hit $5.25 million.

The Kane deal was the final contract check mark for the Jets, giving them all their roster players under contract heading into the lockout and hopefully the season.

The Jets are being given a compensatory 2nd round pick in the 2013 Entry Draft.

Nice! 6 picks in the first 3 rounds should help the talent pool.

This thread will be lively again... and very soon!

Happy to have the Jets back!
