Mark Sanchez will have a couple more months to GQ it up at all the hottest night spots in New York.
The Jets are expected to retain Mark Sanchez into the preseason, and let him compete for a starting job according to the Newsday reporter Bob Glauber.
Sanchez started 15 games last season, throwing 13 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. The Jets went 6-9 in games he started. On Friday, New York drafted Quarterback Geno Smith with the seventh pick in the second round.
The New York Jets have signed running back Chris Ivory to a three-year deal, according to multiple reports.

Apparently Jets management isn’t satisfied with Mark Sanchez as their starting Quarterback. Who knew?
According to Adam Schefter, New York has made calls to multiple teams on Friday in order to move up from pick 39 and draft a Quarterback.
ESPN reports the Jets debated taking Geno Smith with the 13th overall pick on Thursday night before deciding on DT Sheldon Richardson. They selected Cornerback Dee Milliner with the ninth overall pick.
Jets OC Marty Mornhinweg and Jets top scout Terry Bradway had dinner with Smith last month. Mornhinweg came away impressed according to a source that spoke with the four letter.
Other teams that could take a Quarterback at the top of round two include Arizona, Oakland, Philadelphia and Jacksonville.
Rex Ryan will slobber all over Barkevious Mingo. Maybe literally.
Usually, calling the New York Jets a flaming, toxic mess is like saying that being punched straight to the nose isn’t enjoyable, or that pigeons are the mosquitoes of the bird kingdom. An obvious fact will always remain an obvious fact.
But the purging has begun under new general manager John Idzik, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Three safeties were cut (Eric Smith, Yeremiah Bell, and LaRon Landry, with Dawan Landry added), while Bart Scott was jettisoned too, and Mike DeVito was allowed to walk. To rebuild it, you must first destroy it.
That destruction will soon continue with the dismissal of Tim Tebow, the most irrelevant and redundant player on the roster, and at that point the quarterback competition will begin in earnest between Mark Sanchez and David Garrard. But potentially the most important offseason move has yet to come.
You may have heard this Darrelle Revis trade talk, yes? We only write about it around these parts three times daily. If he’s traded, will the Jets’ early focus shift to cornerback? Since I have long-honed the fine journalistic skill of asking the tough question first, that’s how I led of our latest draft dive into questions followed by answers with Scott Salmon from Gang Green Nation,and Brian Bassett from The Jets Blog.
If there’s one truism in the NFL, it’s that a player can always become who he was four or five years ago with the right coach. Or maybe I just made that up entirely.
But with the semi-spiral that Dawan Landry finds himself in, a reunion with Rex Ryan — his former defensive coordinator in Baltimore — is something to feel good about. Unfortunately, it may be the only good feeling the Jets get with this signing.
I know. This is just Rexy being Rexy, and we wouldn’t expect anything less.
Even though he can be annoying and obnoxious, as time has passed I think we’ve taken Rex Ryan’s quotes for granted. Hate him if you wish — and so many do — but we can all agree on this: in the sea of white noise that is the inconsequential post-game drivel when a camera is put in front of a head coach’s face, at least Ryan seeks to entertain.
According to ProFootballTalk, the New York Jets have signed former Oakland Raiders’ running back Mike Goodson to a 3-year $6.9 million contract.

The Jets needed to fill a vacant spot in their backfield after the departure of leading rusher Shonn Greene, who signed with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday.
ESPN is reporting that the Jets may see Goodson as a possible number one running back because of his big play potential (he averaged 6.3 yards per carry), and his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield (he had 40 catches for 310 yards in 2010).
In 2012, Goodson had 221 yards on 35 carries while playing a limited role behind Darren McFadden.
