Josh Evans

It's official coming from Hempsted, LI, Josh Evans has announced his retirement after sitting out most of last season with a back injury.

Losing Josh last season never really came around to bite the Jets because of strong play from Dewayne Robertson and Jason Ferguson in the middle, but this coming season with Ferguson bolting to Dallas (reuniting with Parcells), this could become a weak spot for the Gang Green. More blockers may end up being able to get through those tackles, and into the face of Jonathan Vilma and alike.

The Jets spent a third round pick for a large Tackle out of Utah. However, as I repeated so many times during the 2003 season, large defensive tackles will take time to develop in this league just because of large differences between college and the pros. Therefore, he will probably not contribute much this season.

Keep an eye out for a veteran DT that gets cut after June 1st, and hopefully the Jets can swoop in and grab that person...

Per the NY Daily News, the Jets also signed Guard (Offensive) Brandon Moore to a long term extension.
