Team Notebook: New York JetsLatest News from TwitterLatest News from Hot off the WireJets | Coach unhappy with Mark Sanchez's OTA performance New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he was disappointed with QB Mark Sanchez after he threw three interceptions during organized team activities Wednesday, May 22. "Yeah, it is. Absolutely. It's a good thing defense makes the plays, but no, I'd rather him not turn the ball over once," Ryan said. "He did a lot of great things, and then those negative things, at the end of the day, that's what gets you beat. And so we got to do a better job of eliminating those turnovers." Jets | Santonio Holmes not expected to take part in minicamp New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he does not believe that WR Santonio Holmes (foot) will be able to participate in the team's minicamp in June. Jets | Stephen Hill dealing with swelling New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan said WR Stephen Hill (knee) did not participate in organized team activities Wednesday, May 22, because of swelling in his knee. Jets | Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith struggle New York Jets QBs Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith both struggled during organized team activities Wednesday, May 22, with Sanchez completing only six of his 11 passes, including three interceptions. Sanchez worked with the first-team unit, although he and Smith received basically the same number of snaps. Smith completed only three of 10 passes with an interception. Jets | Geno Smith hires new agency New York Jets QB Geno Smith has hired Roc Nation Sports, Jay-Z's new sports agency, as his new representation. Smith has yet to sign a deal with the Jets. Jets | Mike Goodson to plead not guilty New York Jets RB Mike Goodson will plead not guilty to all charges, with the most serious being a second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. If convicted, Goodson would face a minimum three-year prison sentence under the Graves Act. Goodson's defense is confident they will show that he was not in possession of the gun. Goodson also faces a third-degree possession of a loaded handgun and marijuana and paraphernalia charges. Jets | Could name starting QB soon New York Jets QBs Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith are expected to compete for the starting quarterback job this offseason, but the quarterback competition could be settled well before the team even heads to training camp in July. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg wants one of the two QBs to separate himself from the other, and if that happens this week, the team isn't against naming their starter early. "Common sense tells you that you hope it's quick, but this is going to be a full blown competition. Period," Mornhinweg said. Sanchez, because of his experience, has the advantage to take control of the early competition. Smith, who spent much of his college days in shotgun, is spending a ton of time taking snaps from under center during OTAs with quarterbacks coach David Lee. Mornhinweg knows that the longer their QB competition lasts, the less time the winner will have to work with the first-team offense. The team also won't just name a starter to name a starter, they want a clear winner in the competition. Jets | Mike Goodson meets with team officials New York Jets RB Mike Goodson was in attendance at the team's first OTA practice Monday, May 20, but only to meet with team officials following his arrest on drug and weapons charges last week. Goodson didn't participate or watch the team's workouts, and his future with the team is uncertain. If Goodson pleads guilty or is convicted of unlawful possession of a handgun, he'll be subject to the Graves Act, which is a New Jersey law that carries a minimum of three years in jail. Jets | Did not show interest in Brian Hoyer The New York Jets did not express interest or make an offer to Cleveland Browns QB Brian Hoyer before he signed with the Browns. Jets | Teammate does not think Mike Goodson will stay New York Jets OG Willie Colon said he does not think RB Mike Goodson will remain with the team after being arrested earlier this week. "It's one of the things where it's zero-tolerance with stuff like that," Colon said. "It's sad. Mike could have been huge for us." Jets | Could consider adding QB The New York Jets have not ruled out the possibility of signing a quarterback in free agency since QB David Garrard decided to retire. Jets | Update on Mike Goodson Updating a previous report, New York Jets RB Mike Goodson was arrested Friday, May 17, and charged with possession of marijuana under 50 grams, possession of paraphernalia, unlawful possession of a loaded handgun and possession of a hollow-point bullet. Goodson was being held on $50,000 full cash bail. Jets | Dee Milliner fires agent New York Jets CB Dee Milliner became the second rookie on the team to fire his agency, Impact Sport, after he failed to be taken in the top five of the 2013 NFL Draft.

"I don't care who they bring in, they're going (to have to) kill me to take my spot. You understand that now?" McKnight said in the locker room Thursday. "Just because they bring Goodson and Ivory in they already think I'm gone. They just bringing people in for competition, they ain't bringing nobody in to say, 'Joe is done.'"

Jets | Dee Milliner will not be given starting job New York Jets defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman said CB Dee Milliner will not be given the starting cornerback job and will have to compete for the job.

He's sharp," Ryan said. Jets | Geno Smith expects to learn from Mark Sanchez New York Jets QB Geno Smith said he expects to learn from QB Mark Sanchez even though they will be competing for the starting quarterback job. "He's a guy I'm going to be in competition with but at the same time I'm going to learn from," Smith said. "He's a professional, he's done it for several years. He's carried himself well in my opinion.
