The Facts: Ivory has been around long enough to understand the business side of football. The 27-year-old, playing in his first Pro Bowl, is doing his best to soak up the atmosphere in Hawaii this week. But after the trip is over, the waiting game begins. He is a free agent in just a few weeks. "I'm not sure what's going to happen," Ivory said on Friday. "I would like to stay in New York if we reach an agreement. But I know the cap space they're working with and everything and the other guys they have to get signed or want to get signed back. But if it doesn't work out, I'm just looking forward to continuing my career elsewhere if it happens to go that way."

Diehards Line: Ivory said he had conversations with Jets officials before departing, but continued to emphasize the team's allocation of funds. Regardless of the cap number for 2016, the Jets will likely be in the bottom third of the NFL in terms of space. "I was able to speak with them," Ivory said. "They want to bring me back but like I said, I think it's about the cap space. That's going to be the biggest factor as to whether I'm back or not." Ivory earned his trip to Hawaii after a career-high 247 carries for 1,070 yards and seven touchdowns in 2015. Ivory has never averaged fewer than four yards per carry in a season and is still among the league leaders in broken tackles. There were plenty of teams this year that suffered due to a lack of experienced downhill rushers, so Ivory shouldn't find himself waiting by the phone if the Jets end up balking.
