Alan Faneca Signs With Jets
UPDATE: 6:43
Alan Faneca's agent denies that his client as signed with the Jets.
"False report. It's a false report," agent Rick Smith said. ESPN's website reported the two sides agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract. It appears Faneca is still weighing offers. He could easily wind up with the Jets, but there's no deal yet - Rotoworld
ESPN:
"The New York Jets and guard Alan Faneca have tentatively agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal that includes roughly $23 million in guarantees, ESPN's Michael Smith reports. Faneca is expected to travel to New York this weekend, when the deal will be finalized. The Jets plan to play Faneca at left guard."
It had been reported earlier that this deal was done, but quickly taken down. This has been a big day for the Jets. Trading Vilma, acquiring Jenkins, and now signing Faneca. This gives the Jets an amazing O-Line. To go along with Faneca they have left tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and center Nick Mangold. Kellen Clemens should know have a significant amount of time to throw the ball and Thomas Jones could return to the same form as when he was with Chicago.
