Jets Mark Sanchez to Undergo Season Ending Surgery

Sanchez

By most accounts, you can say that the Mark Sanchez era is now officially over in New York.

The NFL Network is reporting that Mark Sanchez has decided to undergo season-ending surgery. Sanchez initially elected to put off surgery and try to rehab a labral tear to his right shoulder, but the injury was not responding to treatment.

Sanchez is planning on having the surgery in another week or two, the only question remaining now is why doesn’t he go ahead and get the surgery done now? It will take a minimum of 4-6 months to recover, so the sooner he has it performed, the better off he will be.

Don’t feel too badly for Sanchez, he will still collect $8.25 million this season and then will almost certainly be cut from the team. After Sanchez comes back from his surgery, he will test the free agent market and try to land a backup job somewhere.

Jets Mark Sanchez Probably Done for the Season

Sanchez suffered the injury during a meaningless game

ESPN is reporting that beleaguered Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez will need shoulder surgery and is very likely done for the season. Sanchez visited Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday who determined that Sanchez needed surgery after suffering a labral tear to his right shoulder during a meaningless preseason game.

The bumbling Rex Ryan might have been his biggest supporter, but ultimately threw away Sanchez like garbage by thrusting him into a meaningless preseason game against the Giants where he suffered the injury. It would almost be funny, if it wasn’t so tragic for the 26-year-old Sanchez who will likely never play for Jets again.

After Sanchez initially suffered the injury, the Jets quickly moved on without a second thought looking towards the future with Geno Smith and Matt Simms. Both of these young quarterbacks will now try help the hapless Ryan right the ship in New York before the Jets wise up and put him out to pasture.

Jets Wide Receiver Braylon Edwards to Start Week 1

The New York Jets have reportedly signed Braylon Edwards to a one-year deal in order to add some much needed depth at wide receiver. Terms of the contract have not officially been announced, but he is fully expected to get the Week 1 start over Jeremy Kerley.

This marks his third tenure with the Jets during his eight-year career. The move to bring back Edwards is seemingly one of desperation as the Jets receiving core is largely inexperienced. The offense is also expected to struggle because the injury status of Santonio Holmes is still a big question mark.

The 30-year-old veteran underwent a physical with the team Wednesday and signed the next day.

In three games with the Jets during the 2012 season, Edwards hauled in 10 catches for 125 yards, along with eight catches for 74 yards and a touchdown with the Seahawks. He has only scored one touchdown in 22 games played during the past two seasons.

Fantasy owners should avoid all Jets’ players like the plague as draft day approaches. The team has been synonymous with turmoil during the past couple of seasons, and 2013 is shaping up to be the just as hopeless.
