The Jets revealed on their website yesterday that the process of determining which team will host the inaugural regular-season game in the new stadium is a simple flip of a coin.

They did not hesitate in making Rolle the game’s highest-paid safety, but he may be the only big-ticket player the team brings in, for now. The uncapped year and the free agency rules that accompany it have many teams either confused or cautious. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Blognyg-TheOfficialHomeOfGiantFans/~3/uTR6wPNHWjA/is-goff-answer-at-mlb.htmljohnfennelly7@yahoo.com (John Fennelly)1<p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qgo1omd9KNmbsSnmO57LytnIRzQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qgo1omd9KNmbsSnmO57LytnIRzQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qgo1omd9KNmbsSnmO57LytnIRzQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qgo1omd9KNmbsSnmO57LytnIRzQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Blognyg-TheOfficialHomeOfGiantFans/~4/uTR6wPNHWjA" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.blognyg.com/2010/03/is-goff-answer-at-mlb.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132624259468892357.post-8492431905801127198Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:46:00 +00002010-03-06T07:46:01.355-05:002010 NFL Free AgencyJulius Peppers went to Chicago yesterday and came away $91 million richer.

When I look at the roster, the defense is not the only shaky unit I see.
