Jets to pay back wages

This morning at 9, the entire Jets organization gathered in the auditorium of the team's Florham Park facility for a brief meeting.

With the end of the lockout now on the horizon, owner Woody Johnson, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan addressed both business and football-side employees. Their message, according to a person who was at the meeting: thanks for weathering the work stoppage, and now let's get back to work. That person requested anonymity because it was an internal meeting. (ledger)

Woody wants to be involved in Revis contract

The call came late Monday night, and it might be the most important telephone call the Jets make this season.

The Post has learned that Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, on team owner Woody Johnson’s recommendation, reached out to Darrelle Revis’ representatives to offer up Johnson to the disgruntled cornerback in an effort to solve their contract dispute.

Johnson told reporters earlier he was willing to speak to Revis and his representatives if it would help move along the negotiations between the two sides.
