    so this is what it's like not to have a draft pick "hold out" thru training camp.......a welcomed "change of pace", IMO. :)

    Another good job getting guys signed before camp starts. I guess it's easier though when you only have three to sign lol

    The New York Jets have reached agreement with running back Shonn Greene, their third-round choice (65th overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft. The announcement was made by Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum.

    Greene (5'11", 235), Iowa’s first consensus All-America running back since 1939, rushed for 2,228 yards (5.9 average) and 22 touchdowns and added 72 yards on 11 receptions in 33 games. In 2008 he posted school records of 1,850 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns, rushing for at least 100 yards in all 13 games, a Big Ten record.

    In addition to being honored as an All-American in 2008, Greene won the Doak Walker Award and the award as Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year and was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award.

    Some details released..

    Update: According to Mike Florio over at PFT, Shonn Greene’s deal is a four year deal with a $905,000 signing bonus. The deal also includes a fourth-year escalator clause in 2012 that can increase his base salary to the greater of $1.308 million or the low restricted free agent tender.
