The Facts:
Following up on a previous item. ... Straight-talking HC Rex Ryan didn't squash the talk of the Jets being interested in Burress in his first public comments on the subject Friday. Asked if the team would pursue Burress if he's available to play, Ryan said, "We'll let that situation happen and we'll see. I want to see our guys through these camps. Let's see what we have here."

Ryan further explained: "We will do our 'due diligence' here because that is what it is. If anybody is out there, you want to find out because there are a lot of unknowns. Quite honestly, through that conversation (with Burress' agent, Drew Rosenhaus) I don't think that it's clear right now either way (concerning his legal troubles.) Is he going to be available? Is he not? None of you know that answer, either. We just wanted to see if they had heard anything. ..." Burress, of course, is facing possible jail time for an incident in a Manhattan night club in which a gun he was illegally carrying went off and shot him in thigh.
