Watching some of the top players get signed and sealed already, the Jets have begun early talks with the agent for first-round pick Vernon Gholston. GM Mike Tannenbaum told the NY Daily News that preliminary talks about a deal to make sure Gholston is in camp on time have started. Right now Gholston is not [...]
