Jets sign S Worrell Hempstead, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Jets signed safety Cameron
Worrell on Wednesday.
The 28-year old spent last season with division rival Miami, recording 56
tackles in 12 games -- seven starts -- for the Dolphins.
The Chicago Bears signed Worrell out of Fresno State as an undrafted free
agent in 2003. In four seasons with Chicago, Worrell appeared in 46 games and
compiled 20 tackles, two sacks, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.... More...
Vernon Gholston is probably not going to start, as the New York Jets plan to transition him slowly onto the field, according to Pro Football Weekly. The web site reports he will be used initially only in pass rushing situations.
Our View:Even if he only plays on passing downs, Gholston can still make some noise. He likely won't pile up the tackles, but his most important job is to get to the quarterback anyway. Double digit sacks are probably an unrealistic goal, but he will still register his share.
Thomas Jones has been "reinvigorated" by the Jets additions to the offensive line, according to ESPN.com.
Our View:Fantasy owners surely hope so. Jones disappointed many by rushing for just one touchdown last season. He averaged only 3.6 yards per carry, but that figures to go up as he gets to run behind new guard Alan Faneca.
Running back Musa Smith, who has been hampered by injuries during his five-year tenure with Baltimore, looked sharp during the New York Jets' recent mini-camp and could earn a spot on the roster if he contributes on special teams, according to the Sporting News.
Our View:Smith is mired on the depth chart behind Thomas Jones, Leon Washington and Jesse Chatman. His best chance to make the roster will be to contribute on special teams, and given his size, could be given a shot at backing up Tony Richardson at fullback.
