Re-signing Bilal was a top priority for #Jets . When Bowles was hired, Powell was one of the 1st players he called to introduce himself to


sounds like this regime will actually use him

Powell was contemplating a Rex Ryan reunion in Buffalo, but chose to stay with the Jets. Chan Gailey will have an Ivory-Powell tandem #nyj


i like powell, but part of me was hoping for a more dynamic RB. i'm guessing this takes them out of the running for FA RBs like spiller or vereen. if so, hopefully they will draft one in this deep RB class.

Good morning Twitter, the @R_Fitzpatrick14 account is fake. Not really Fitz, he informed me this morning. We're working to get it removed.

A source confirms Jets expected to re-sign Bilal Powell, as @MMehtaNYDN noted. Was their primary RB target. No interest in Spiller. #nyj
The last part of that post is interesting. No interest in Spiller. So all the speculation about how interested they were in him was wrong.

Wow, the Jets haven't even reached out to Cro? Interesting. Sounds like they're trying to stay young. Smart.

Couldn't agree more. I could really see Duke Johnson the target with his ability to catch passes out of the backfield. VERY similar player to Spiller except Duke isn't afraid to stick his nose in there. He likes to play football and won't shy from contact in pass pro.

report free agent Brian Hoyer will indeed sign with the Texans.
Hoyer had a last-minute flirtation with the Jets, but his best option for playing time was in a system he already knows under Bill O'Brien in Houston, where Hoyer will only have to beat out Ryan Mallett and Tom Savage to start.

Like the Bilal Powell move. Under-rated player. Never fumbles. Good in pass pro. Dependable. But where's the speed on offense? #nyj

He was good actually..but very alarming..with all the injuries and suspensions last year to all RB's he wasnt picked up..between Minny, Balt, a slew of other teams

Well, he only had Geno to beat out here.
