Our sources tell us that the Jets worked out Andre Wadsworth before the combine.\u00a0 We are told that he weighed in around 280 pounds and showed up in tremendous shape.\u00a0 The Jets reportedly offered him a contract after his workout.\u00a0 We do not know if\u00a0an agreement has been reached.\u00a0 A call to his Agent, Roosevelt Barnes, was not immediately returned.<\/p>\n
Andre also worked out for the Tampa Bay Bucs.\u00a0 Tampa had Andre work out along with his friend Peter Boulware.\u00a0 The two did not know they would be working out together until they arrived at the Bucs practice facility.\u00a0 The Bucs want Andre to work out for them again.\u00a0 He delayed initally because of the contract offer on the table from the Jets.\u00a0 The contract is believed to have a low base salary and be rich in incentives.<\/p>\n
Andre who is now 32 years old has been out of football for the past six years. \u00a0He was drafted # 3 overall by the Cardinals in 1998.\u00a0 He was the first non QB selected that year, going in back of Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf.\u00a0 He held out and signed before the opener.\u00a0 His rookie season was good but he was slowed by knee injuries in 1999 and 2000 and has not played since.<\/p>\n
It would be an interesting move for the Jets.\u00a0 By all accounts Andre fits in well with Head Coach Eric Mangini’s desire to bring in high character players.\u00a0 He has worked hard to get back in the league.\u00a0 He has been successful off the field, so this is not simply\u00a0a case of a player looking to get paid.\u00a0 Andre is hungry to play football. \u00a0He was on the verge of coming back a few years ago when he hit another set back (achilles).\u00a0 He walked on at Florida State because he did not receive any scholarship offers, so he knows about overcoming long odds.\u00a0 This is a good move by the Jets by leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of new talent.\u00a0 Stay tuned<\/a>, as we learn more we will bring the news to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Max Our sources tell us that the Jets worked out Andre Wadsworth before the combine.\u00a0 We are told that he weighed in around 280 pounds and showed up in tremendous shape.\u00a0 The Jets reportedly offered him a contract after his workout.\u00a0 We do not know if\u00a0an agreement has been reached.\u00a0 A call to his […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[213],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-863","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-jet-news"},"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/peLffi-dV","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=863"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47116,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/863\/revisions\/47116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
