Here's a story updating the future plans and opportunities of Rex Ryan in Baltimore. Although, really, there isn't much to update -- sounds like he's just sitting around waiting like the rest of us. But it does appear that Rex will get the head coach feelers. So if the Jets want him to be their D.C., they'll have to wait for all that smoke to clear out.
As for Rob Ryan, I just heard from a Raiders source that, officially, there is no update on his status with the team. Meaning he is still their defensive coordinator despite reports that he had been told that Sunday was his final game with the organization and other reports that he would be canned today. While no one is refuting the idea that Ryan is probably on the way out -- and thusly on the way here -- it doesn't appear to be happening today.

What's the word on Sutton? Are they still planning on canning him, or are they waiting to to see who's available first?
Bring Mike Martz in here if Sutton stays. At least the offense can score more than 10 points a game.
Rob Ryan not coming here.
Hopeless
Martz' system would never work here - the Jets oline is not good enough. Martz sends everybody out, TEs don't block. Pennington/Clemens could barely survive with the swiss chees line we have now - bringing in Martz would get them both killed for sure.
Not to mention that Martz would only use a coordinator job as an audition for a HC job, just like his failed one in Detroit.
