The Facts:
Washington addressed the prospect of signing a long-term contract extension with the Jets and, although he didn't mention any specific parameters, he made it quite clear that he wants a lot of money. "The Jets traditionally have done the right thing with guys that play well for the organization," he said. "I put the work in and, hopefully, it pays off for me sooner rather than later."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Washington, entering the final season of his rookie contract, is often compared to the Chargers' Darren Sproles, but Washington believes he's better than Sproles. "I don't like comparisons, but I don't like myself being compared to Darren Sproles, I can tell you that," he said. ... Hmmm. Sproles, as San Diego's franchise free agent, is currently slated to make $6.6 million this year. With Thomas Jones also angling for a new deal it will be interesting to see which direction the money flows.
