Notes
The New York Jets didn't renew the contracts of assistant general manager Scott Cohen and director of football administration Ari Nissim, according to a source. Cohen was former GM Mike Tannenbaum's right-hand man. Nissim handled many of the team's contracts. Several scouts were also let go. Head coach Rex Ryan's role in personnel decisions also appears to be diminished.

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he is not worried that he is entering the final year of his contract and is excited to coach the team in 2013. 'I'm not afraid of any situation that I've ever been put in,' Ryan said. 'I really don't feel different this year than I do any year. I've approached this like it's a brand-new beginning, which I believe it is. And so that's how I approached it. I'm excited about coaching this team. I realize there are going to be quite a few changes. We're going to lose quite a few football players.'

Although New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has shown his support publicly for head coach Rex Ryan, he is reportedly not as devoted to Ryan as everyone thinks. While Johnson admires Ryan's innate leadership skills and his ability to relate to players, he isn't blind to the other stuff, according to people familiar with his thinking. As one person said, 'He's tired of the circus.' Ryan has two years and more than $6 million remaining on his contract, so that is likely a big reason why he is still the head coach.
