New York Jets

Eric Decker says playing for the sucky NY Jets made him long for the days when he was a Denver Bronco.

Cameras were rolling on the WR the day after he was cut by the NY Jets back in June -- and now his reaction is a part of his E! reality show, 'Eric & Jessie' (airs Wed. at 10 PM).

"It's weird, I was fired," Decker says ... while discussing how it sucked not making the playoffs during his 3-year run in NY.

Jessie asks where he wants to play next -- and Eric replies, "I do wanna go somewhere where I have a good chance to get back to the playoffs because I think I took for granted how (great it was)."

"We did it almost every year in Denver and ... I thought it was the norm."

Pissed off at Marshawn Lynch dancing on the Jets' grave?

DON'T BE, says legendary Oakland rapper Too Short -- cause Beast Mode was just gettin' down the only way he knows how.

"It's pretty normal where we're from," Short told us outside Catch in WeHo. "That's how we all dance."

Of course, Marshawn's from Oakland ... so when Vell and DJ Mustard's "Oakland" track hit during a timeout in the Raiders' blowout, he had to let it flow.

Some Jets players reportedly said Lynch's beast moves were demoralizing -- and Short definitely agrees.

Before Terry Crews took over Hollywood, he was an NFL linebacker who says he was ready to die on the field -- same mind-set as NY Jets rookie Jamal Adams.

But things have changed.

"I wanted to die on the field when I was playing ... but not anymore," Crews tells TMZ Sports.

Of course, Crews became a massive star AFTER his 5 year NFL career -- starring in huge movies ("The Expendables"), huge TV shows ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine") and big ad campaigns (Old Spice, anyone?)

The message? There's MUCH more to life than football -- and he's living proof.

Crews also shared his message with a mother and her football playing son outside of Craig's -- advising the kid to be a kicker because it's safer.

The kid's mom asked Terry if he would let his son play football with all of the CTE concerns -- you gotta hear Crews' answer.

Lucky Whitehead's unemployment didn't last very long -- the WR's been claimed by the NY Jets after the Cowboys fired him.

Whitehead was waived by Dallas on Monday after police said he was arrested for shoplifting back in June. Cops later admitted the man they popped was NOT Lucky, but rather an imposter.

Still, the Cowboys refused to back down and said they were done with Whitehead.

Lucky hit the waiver wire and according to Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, the Jets pulled the trigger.

Here's "Game of Thrones" star Alfie Allen -- aka Theon Greyjoy -- rockin' a NY Jets hat in L.A. this week.

When pressed about his favorite player on the Jets, Allen didn't know a damn thing about the NFL team and instead jokingly named soccer legend Thierry Henry.

There's only one explanation -- George R.R. Martin, the mad genius behind 'GOT.'

Martin's a huuuuge NY Jets fan -- die-hard -- and often blogs about how his team drives him absolutely crazy.

So, here's the theory: Allen's going Green to kiss Martin's ass so he won't kill off his character ... because as EVERYONE knows -- no one is safe on that show.

Forget what ya heard about the Jets being the NFL's worst team ... Gang Green star Buster Skrine says the squad is gonna shock the world in 2017.

TMZ Sports caught up with Buster in NYC, and asked the veteran CB for his message to the embattled Jets Nation ... “This our year right here!”

It’s a big statement considering the Jets finished dead last in the AFC East last year (5-11), and have unloaded some of their best players like Eric Decker in the off-season.

Brandon Marshall isn't blind -- he sees what's going on with the NY Jets and has a pretty simple question ... "Will they have enough people to line up?!"

The NY Giants WR was out in NYC Wednesday (being honored by the Mental Health Association of NY) where we asked him straight-up is he's glad he got out of Gang Green in the wake of the axing of Eric Decker, David Harris and others.

"I'm happy where I'm at now," Marshall told us. He also sent a message to Jets fans.

"I think eventually, they'll be alright. But I don't know if they're gonna have enough men to line up!"

We also talked to Marshall about fellow G-Men wide out Odell Beckham Jr. -- who's been getting heat for missing OTAs.

"I have spoken to him, and I guess my message to him is just keep being awesome. Keep rockin' out."

Marshall continued, "He's the biggest superstar our game has ever seen in the history of football."

N.Y. Jets stud Buster Skrine says Michael Vick is without a doubt the hardest throwing QB he's ever faced ... telling TMZ Sports he almost broke his finger deflecting one of Vick's passes.

Skrine gives us the lowdown on just how much sauce Vick put on the ball ... and it's safe to say his hands are relieved the 4-time Pro Bowler's retired.

The NY Jets tight end who stupidly talked cops INTO arresting him for DUI has been punished by the NFL ... and will be suspended for 2 games.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins was pulled over for a routine traffic stop back in September -- and was thiiiis close to being let go ... until he started running his drunken mouth.

During the arrest, Austin told cops he needed to take a "huge s**t" ... the cop begged him not to do it in the squad car.

ASJ eventually pled no contest to reckless driving and got probation and community service.

But the NFL found he violated the league's personal conduct policy -- and punished him as well.

At least TWO of Darrelle Revis' teammates are adamant the voice bragging about knocking out two people in Pittsburgh is NOT the NFL star.

TMZ Sports spoke with Brandon Browner -- who won a Super Bowl with Revis with the Patriots in 2014.

Browner says he watched the video from the aftermath of the Revis incident and says, "I know for a fact that voice that I heard is not Darrelle Revis."

He also points out that Revis' current NY Jets teammate Brandon Marshall feels the same way.

For his part, Revis has denied K.O.'ing the two men and his lawyers say they look forward to proving his innocence in court.

7:37 PM PT -- Revis is out.

A rep for the NFL star says Revis is out on a non-monetary bond.

NY Jets star Darrelle Revis just surrendered to Pittsburgh police ... and is under arrest following a violent altercation early Sunday morning.

Revis -- with his mother and another family member -- arrived at the municipal courthouse moments ago. He did not speak to reporters.

D.R. faces two counts of aggravated assault, one count of robbery, and one count of conspiracy ... all felonies.

Cops say Revis physically assaulted two men on the street ... while Revis' attorney claims the star player felt threatened and simply defended himself.

As of now, bond has not been set.

Story developing ...

Darrelle Revis' attorney is spelling out the NFL star's side of the violent incident in Pittsburgh -- claiming he was attacked by a drunk guy who was flexing his "beer muscles."

TMZ Sports spoke with Blaine Jones who says Revis did everything in his power to DIFFUSE a bizarre and aggressive situation before things turned violent on Sunday morning.

Jones says Revis was in fear for his own safety -- and thought the other man may have even been carrying a weapon -- and only did what he needed to do to protect himself.

Jones says Revis suffered injuries in the melee and sought medical attention.

NY Jets star Darrelle Revis was involved in a violent altercation in Pittsburgh over the weekend -- but there seems to be a big dispute over what really went down.

Revis' lawyer, Blaine Jones, issued a statement saying the NFL star was assaulted by 5 men in the South Side area. The lawyer said Revis was injured and sought medical attention.

Jones is adamant Revis is the victim.

But here's where things get weird ... WTAE in Pittsburgh says Revis is the one under investigation for the incident -- with sources claiming he and his group were the aggressors and men in the other group suffered serious injuries.

WTAE says their sources claim Revis is expected to be hit with FELONY criminal charges any minute.

We spoke with the Jets -- they're aware of the situation and have spoken with Darrelle.

Kristin Cavallari says she's well aware of the "Jay Cutler-to-the-Jets" rumors ... and says if that move actually goes down, they've already got friends on the team!

With Jay Cutler's days in Chicago likely over, there are reportedly several teams interested in his QB services -- including the NY Jets.

So, when we saw KC at LAX Thursday, we had to ask how she felt about the possibility of moving to the Big Apple.

The guy who signed off on paying Ryan Fitzpatrick $12 MILLION to throw 17 interceptions will be named official U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Officials say Donald Trump will announce NY Jets owner Woody Johnson will take the position.

Johnson was also the vice chairman of the Trump Victory Committee and hosted a huge fundraiser for him in the Hamptons.

The Senate will have to confirm Johnson before the move is official ... but it's more of a formality at this point.

Geno Smith is battling through his ACL tear -- working his butt off to try to get back on the field next season ... just days after undergoing surgery.

The NY Jets QB went under the knife to repair his right knee on Nov. 9th after suffering the ACL tear while playing the Ravens on Oct. 23rd.

Just 3 days later he was already in physical therapy -- and today, one week later, he's still pushing himself.

Geno's a free agent after this season and he's most likely done with the Jets -- question is, where will he land next season?
