''With offseason workouts having ended throughout the NFL, it’s a good time to take a look at where things stand with the rest of the AFC East.'

'Nickell Robey quietly had a productive spring and seems energized by the scheme change on defense. By nature, Robey is an aggressive defender who is at his best when taking chances in coverage and blitzing from the slot. Rex Ryan's defense will allow him to do that, and he created some issues for the offense during minicamp with his blitzing. If this keeps up, 2015 could be a big year for the third-year cornerback.'

'Johnson was an undrafted free agent out of West Texas A&M who spent most of the 2014 season on the Bills practice squad.'

'“I definitely feel like I can still go out and compete,” Jackson told The Howard Simon Show on WGR Tuesday morning. “Especially being out in OTAs and minicamps and still feeling like I have enough juice to go out there and compete with the young guys that are coming in. But it’s something at 34 I do have to be aware of, that you can’t do this forever. But that’s definitely not something that’s on my plate this year or hopefully the next year. It’s on me to go out there and show that I still have some gas in the tank.”'

'The moves put the team at 89 players, one shy of the 90-man limit. Head coach Rex Ryan indicated last week the team was preparing to sign former Jets offensive tackle Wayne Hunter, although nothing from the team has been announced.'

'The Buffalo Bills today announced that the team has released DE Bryan Johnson.'

'“If someone were to say to me they were going to name a park and street after me in high school, I probably would have said, ‘Yeah, right,'” Reed said with a laugh. “I would have been like, ‘What do I have to do to have that happen?' You have to do something extraordinary or significant for someone to do that to you. It’s a heck of an honor.”'
