JETS CONTINUE TO CLEAR SHEDS, PRYOR HITS THE FROG AND TOAD

I’ll be stuffed — the Jets found someone to take Calvin Pryor off their hands. They’ve got to be rapt. He didn’t deliver on the field, and it sounds like he’d become a bit of a grumblebum in the change rooms. Same old story for the Jets: they keep pissing up the wall with high picks: Quinton Coples, Dee Milliner, Sheldon Richardson, and Pryor. Now they’re starting over again in the secondary with a couple of ankle biters. As for Pryor, this could reignite his career — the Browns will give him a fair go, he has heaps of talent, and he should be a good fit for Gregg Williams’ D.

TEDDY, YOU LITTLE RIPPER!

Half your luck, Teddy Bridgewater. I thought Bridgewater had buckleys of returning this year, but it sounds like he’s way ahead of schedule. He had a great rookie season before tearing up his knee — I still think he’ll be the Vikes quarterback of the future. Yes, the team gave up a lot to get Sam Bradford, but I think he should be the one getting the flick when Bridgewater’s back.

TAVON YOUNG, WHAT A POOR BUGGER

Tavon Young looked so good even as a grommet, but now comes news he’s going to miss his second season after tearing his ACL. Lucky for the Ravens they restocked their secondary this offseason, but they’re still up a gumtree at the nickel position. Ozzie Newsome is going to have to do some serious fossicking, but he’s not going to find a corner of Young’s caliber at Vinnies.

GOOD ONYA, HAYNEY!

Is it ever good to see Jarryd Hayne back in the lucky country? I know it didn’t quite work out for him in San Francisco, but he did the right thing by doing a Melba — he looked great in a big footy match down here. It’s going so well he’s even signed a new deal with the Titans — no, not those ones, you dills, the ones up on the Goldie.
