Free-agent RB Thomas Jones is scheduled to visit the Chiefs on Monday, according to a league source.

Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum covered a wide range of topics with reporters Friday, but he had two particularly interesting comments on RB Thomas Jones.

The Jets will tender contracts to versatile WR Brad Smith and safety Eric Smith, Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum told the team’s official Web site Monday.

With an earthquake having devastated his homeland of Haiti, one could forgive University of Massachusetts offensive tackle Vladimir Ducasse for being distracted.

Just because the Jets have arguably the best cornerback in the game right now, Darrelle Revis, does not mean that the team is necessarily content to stand pat in the defensive backfield.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell joined NFL Network’s Total Access on Wednesday, chatting with host Rich Eisen about the league’s fines levied against the New York Jets and former coach Eric Mangini.

The NFL has assessed $125,000 in fines for violations of the league’s injury reporting policy by the New York Jets last season.

As word came out that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has initiated a review of the felony weapons charge against Plaxico Burress, agent Drew Rosenhaus announced on his Twitter page that five teams are interested in the former Giants wide receiver, despite the possibility of a suspension.

The Brett Favre watch has been moved to the Big Apple, but don’t look for a decision to be made in a New York minute. Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum told the New York Post that he would like to have a decision from Favre before free agency starts on Feb. 27, but it might not happen. And Tannenbaum is cool with that.

Once the Super Bowl is played, the focus will shift from the Steelers and Cardinals to Brett Favre and the Jets.
