The Jets have just signed safety Cameron Worrell, who appeared in 12 games last season with the Dolphins, starting five of those contests. Worrell finished the season with 56 tackles. The 5-11, 194-pound Worrell has been in the league five years, getting his original shot with the Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2003. Worrell, an All-WAC safety at Fresno State, played in 46 games - mostly on special teams - in four seasons with the Bears.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming, which for me means covering tonight's Yankees game (brutal life I have, I know). For those of you who are Yankees fans, they just signed Sidney Ponson, he of various off-the-field issues in Texas, to bolster their starting rotation. Really.

Obviously K. Rhodes occupies one spot in the safety position with Smith and Elam competing for the other. Probably all this signing means is that the coaches don't think Hawkins and Bing are providing adequate depth at this point. Thanks for the hard work, Erik. Do you make it a point to beat out the official Jets site on signing stories?
Cameron Worrell? Carl Bronson the custodial engineer from Dunkin Donuts wasn't available?
Boland, a Jack-of-all-trades.
being a Yankee fan who knows who Ponson is...well...that ruins my week. The guy's less healthy than David Wells and he's half as consistent...awesome.
Elam is horrible. NYJ should have re-signed Coleman and waived Elam.
