The Facts: Garrard "anticipates putting a deal together" with the Jets once the team can work through some salary-cap issues, a source close to the situation tells ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. "Both sides are feeling good about a possible deal," the source said.

Diehards Line: Garrard had an impressive workout Thursday with the Jets, who believe he would fit well in their system. There are questions about his age and injury history, but the Jets and the 35-year-old Garrard plan to continue talking and working to consummate an agreement. The Jets are expected to bring in competition for Mark Sanchez, who struggled badly in 2012. In addition to Sanchez, the Jets have quarterbacks Tim Tebow, Greg McElroy and Matt Simms on the roster. Tebow is expected to be released.
