an ongoing story. ... Burress hasn't been shy about discussing the possibility of joining the Jets. So what does Rex Ryan think about the ex-Giant joining his team?

Without directly addressing Burress, Ryan said that he is "excited that players throughout the league seem to have an interest in the Jets." He added, in response to a question about Burress: "I'm excited about seeing what happens when the rules come out, and rolling up our sleeves and having at it. ..." Burress, in an interview on Monday, admitted that he has given thought to the possibility of playing for the Jets, calling the idea "appealing." Burress will be a free agent when the lockout ends. The Jets will be in the receiver market if they lose one of their starters, Santonio Holmes or Braylon Edwards, in free agency. Chances are, they won't be able to re-sign both under a salary cap, meaning the Jets will be pursuing a veteran such as Burress or Randy Moss.
