The Facts: Coles, who ripped the club last month for "lying" to him about a contract extension, ended his one-week protest by reporting today to the voluntary off-season conditioning program, according to a team spokesman.

Diehards Line:Presumably, Coles' appearance means his situation has been resolved, although Daily News staffer Rich Cimini advised readers it couldn't be immediately confirmed that he has a new contract. Coles has two years, $11 million remaining on his current deal. The Jets offered to guarantee the $11 million, an unusual step to make him happy, but Coles wanted a long-term extension.
