Description: Jets coach Rex Ryan said the team's starting quarterback job is "wide open" for 2013. SOURCE: Rich Cimini, ESPNNewYork.com | Insight: The Jets can't release Mark Sanchez without taking a major cap hit, so he's almost certain to be back. However, it's unclear who Sanchez will be competing against since Tim Tebow is expected to be cut loose and Greg McElroy isn't a long-term answer. | | |

Description: Mark Sanchez will get the start at quarterback Sunday in the Jets' season finale against Buffalo. | Insight: It's pretty much by default as Greg McElroy has been ruled out with a concussion. Sanchez will probably be on a short leash and could be benched in favor of Tim Tebow if he gets off to a rough start. Sanchez actually had one of his better games of the season versus the Bills back in Week 1 (266 yards, three TD) so this isn't a bad matchup for him. | | |

Description: The Jets will look to trade quarterback Mark Sanchez after the season according to the New York Daily News. | Insight: It appears Sanchez has finally worn out his welcome in New York after another miserable outing Monday against Tennessee (13-for-28, 131 yards, 4 INTs). He'll watch from the sidelines this week while Greg McElroy makes his first NFL start against the Chargers. It could be difficult to deal Sanchez given his high salary (set to make $8.25 million in 2013) and how poorly he's performed this season (67.9 QB rating is 33rd in the NFL). | | |

Description: Jets QB Mark Sanchez will cost the Jets a $17.1 million cap hit in 2013 if he's cut. His salary-cap number is $12.8 million. SOURCE: Rich Cimini ESPN New York | Insight: If you were wondering why the team is sticking with Sanchez Sunday against Jacksonville, there's your answer. The Jets desperately need to maintain its relationship with the QB, as they are essentially stuck with him in 2013. | | |

Description: Quarterback Mark Sanchez will get the start Sunday when the Jets visit Jacksonville. | Insight: Sanchez (12 TD, 13 INT, 71.4 QB rating) was benched late in the game last week against the Cardinals. Rex Ryan has Sanchez on a short leash right now and it's very possible Greg McElroy will take his place if he gets off to a slow start. | | |

Description: Jets coach Rex Ryan wouldn't confirm his starting QB for Week 14 Monday but he's reportedly "leaning toward" starting Greg McElroy over Mark Sanchez. SOURCE: Jason La Canfora, CBSSports.com | Insight: League sources noted that it's 65-35 in favor of McElroy, but Ryan will meet with GM Mike Tannenbaum Monday night to discuss the situation. Due to Sanchez' fully guaranteed $8.25 million contract for 2013, this won't be simply a football decision. | | |

Description: Jets QB Mark Sanchez delivered a season-high 328 passing yards Sunday against New England. | Insight: Yet what he'll most be remembered for is coughing up the football to lose the game in overtime. Though the day ended badly for Sanchez there are definitely some positives he can take away from this outing. His 68.3 percent completion rate was his second-highest of the season and his 90.3 QB rating on Sunday was a huge improvement over the 64.7 rating he posted in his previous start against the Patriots. | | |

Description: New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was given a vote of confidence from his coach Rex Ryan at Tuesday's press conference. | Insight: Sanchez has completed an ugly 48.4 percent of his throws in 2012 for 1,042 yards, well below his career 54.6-percent rate. Of course, the alternative is Tim Tebow who owns a career 47.3 percent completion rate. | | |

Description: New York quarterback Mark Sanchez has been dealing with tightness in his lower back. | Insight: The Jets are listing him as probable for Sunday's game in Miami, so this doesn't look like a big deal. Sanchez had an awful game last week (10-for-27, 138 yards) after an impressive outing Week 1 against Buffalo (266 yards, three TD). | | |
| 9/9/2012 4:46:00 PM |
Description: Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez had quite a day Sunday against Buffalo, completing 19-of-27 for 266 yards and three scores. | Insight: The most important number for Sanchez is zero -- as in, the number of passes Tim Tebow attempted. The Jets' offense was surprisingly potent after the starters failed to score a touchdown in the preseason. This doesn't mean Sanchez is a fantasy starter, but it does bode well for the values of Santonio Holmes (4 catches-68 yards) and Stephen Hill (5-89-2) | | |

Description: Jets QB Mark Sanchez is willing to put it all on the line -- even his paycheck -- if it means the New York Jets will have a better chance to win.
Sanchez said he already has had discussions about reworking his contract if it helps to make the Jets stronger as free agency begins.
SOURCE: ESPN.COM | Insight: "Whatever we need to do to win, it's on. I think our whole team feels that way, (Darrelle) Revis, me, whoever, it doesn't matter," Sanchez said. In 2009, Sanchez signed a five-year deal with the Jets that included $28 million in guaranteed money, with incentives making the deal potentially worth $60 million. With the 2011 salary cap now at $120 million per team, restructuring Sanchez's contract would give the Jets the ability to spend more to acquire or re-sign free agents this season. | | |

Description: Jets QB Mark Sanchez (shoulder) was throwing passes to receivers at Colorado's Pro Day Wednesday.
SOURCE: PRO FOOTBALL TALK | Insight: Looks like Sanchez has been medically cleared by doctors. He was throwing to a childhood friend, Colorado WR Scotty McKnight, who Sanchez compares to Patriots WR Wes Welker. | | |

Description: Jets QB Mark Sanchez won't need surgery on his throwing shoulder this offseason.
SOURCE: TWITTER | Insight: Doctors have agreed that Sanchez needs rest and rehab and he should be back to form. It's great news as surgery might have made him questionable for the start of training camp. Plus, it may have caused him to lose some arm strength. Depending on what the team does at receiver, Sanchez figures to be a safe QB2 in 2011. | | |

Description: Jets QB Mark Sanchez is "confident" that he won't need surgery on his injured throwing shoulder.
SOURCE: NEWARK STAR-LEDGER | Insight: Throwing for 233 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, Sanchez played better than expected, despite the loss in the frigid conditions at Pittsburgh. He is expected to undergo an MRI and might actually need surgery depending on the severity of the damage. Sanchez's improved play will bump him to solid QB2 status for 2011, but keep him mind that both Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards are unrestricted free agents. | | |

Description: After practicing in full Wednesday, Jets QB Mark Sanchez says his shoulder is the "best it's felt in 3-4 weeks."
SOURCE: NEWARK STAR-LEDGER | Insight: Sanchez did everything with his left hand in Tuesday's practice, but he will be good to go against the Patriots. In the two games he played against New England this year, Sanchez averaged just 192 yards passing, with three total touchdowns and three total interceptions. | | |

Description: It didn't take long for HC Rex Ryan to get his QB out of the game. After one series on offense, Mark Sanchez has been replaced by backup Mark Brunell in Week 17. | Insight: Sanchez was on the field for two drives... all runs. Ryan is trying to rest his starting QB for the playoffs next week. | | |
| 12/29/2010 4:45:00 PM |
Description: According to Jets HC Rex Ryan, QB Mark Sanchez (shoulder) "definitely" won't play all four quarters against the Bills.
SOURCE: TWITTER | Insight: We'd be surprised to see Sanchez last an entire quarter. Mark Brunell should see plenty of time under center. | | |

Description: Despite locking up a playoff spot on Sunday, Jets QB Mark Sanchez (shoulder) still might play in Week Seventeen.
SOURCE: TWITTER | Insight: The Jets backed into the playoffs, despite losing to the Bears, when the Jaguars lost to the Redskins. Currently dealing with cartilage damage in his throwing shoulder, Sanchez played better than expected, throwing for 269 yards, a touchdown and interception. Even if Sanchez does start Sunday against the Bills, there's still a good chance he won't play the entire game. | | |

Description: According to Jets HC Rex Ryan, QB Mark Sanchez's shoulder is injured enough that he could not play if the game against the Bears was right now.
SOURCE: TWITTER | Insight: The Jets were looking like the hottest team in the league just a few weeks ago, but have come crashing down recently. Sanchez will be a game-time decision. Mark Brunell will start if Sanchez is out, which won't help any of New York's skill players. | | |
| 12/23/2010 12:25:00 PM |
Description: Jets QB Mark Sanchez has torn cartilage in his (right) throwing shoulder, but doctors say he can't make the injury worse by playing.
SOURCE: NEW YORK POST | Insight: Sanchez will start against the Bears, but the team could limit the amount of times he throws. And with Santonio Holmes dealing with turf toe, the team may have to rely on their defense to win. Sanchez is not a fantasy option this week. | | |
