that the Jets shopped Richardson before the Nov. 1 trading deadline, speaking to the Dallas Cowboys,

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The first rule of Jets training camp: No talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick.With players reporting Wednesday to the teams facility for physicals a day before the start of practices, this biggest topic of conversation was the guy who wasnt even there.No one knows if or when Fitzpatrick will re-sign with New York. But one thing was clear: Discussing the quarterbacks monthslong contract stalemate with the Jets was off limits.All questions about Ryan are for coach (Todd) Bowles, running back Matt Forte said. They told me to tell you all that. Everybody knows who `they are.The team has been locked in a staredown with Fitzpatrick and his representatives all winter, spring and, now, summer. Fitzpatrick set a franchise record with 31 touchdown passes last year while leading the Jets within a victory of a playoff spot. But he and the Jets have failed to come to an agreement on a deal that would satisfy both sides.So, for now, Geno Smith is the starter again -- just as he was a year ago, before a punch from a teammate broke his jaw during camp and pushed Fitzpatrick into the role he never relinquished even when Smith got healthy.Forte was one of five Jets players who spoke to the media on report day, along with center Nick Mangold, safety Marcus Gilchrist and linebackers David Harris and Erin Henderson. Each of them sidestepped questions about Fitzpatrick, deferring to Bowles.The Jets coach was scheduled to speak to the media for the first time Thursday after the first training camp practice.I have talked to Fitz, said Mangold, one of the quarterbacks best friends on the team. Do I talk football or business? No, because I ask him how his kids are doing, hows your golf game, those type of things. As far as his mindset, I have no idea.When pressed about whether hes curious about whats going on, Mangold came up with an unusual comparison: those who go to smell the stench of the corpse flower at the New York Botanical Garden.Yes, really.Curiosity is going to get you over to that plant in the Bronx and smell that terrible smell, Mangold said. Yeah, the corpse flower. Curiosity is going to get you to smell something. Some people want to smell something bad. Some people want to find out different mindsets. I dont particularly care.Mangold reiterated that he has no control over the contract situation with Fitzpatrick and is focused now only on who is actually in camp.Hopefully, things get worked out, he said. If they dont, they dont. If they do, thats great. I have no control over it, so I dont particularly worry about it.If Fitzpatrick doesnt come back, then the job is all Smiths. Forte, who signed with New York in March as a free agent, was impressed by what he saw during the offseason.You could see his arm strength, his accuracy and his decision-making were pretty good, Forte said. There werent too many drills we were doing where there was pressure, but his timing and calling timeouts, he made good decisions on that. Going against our defense, which is no slack of a defense, it was good to see him do that and I was impressed by him.Several players, such as wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, made it clear early in the offseason that they would like to see Fitzpatrick return. That might have created a bit of an awkward situation for Smith, who has tried to approach the offseason as though hell be the starter in Week 1 against Cincinnati.Nobody knows except him, Harris said of Smith. But hes not going around throwing a pity party for himself. I know that.Fitzpatrick wasnt the only player not in attendance when the rest of the team arrived. Linebacker Darron Lee, the teams first-round draft pick, reached an agreement on a four-year deal worth $10.2 million with the Jets later Wednesday.Lee, who was with the team for offseason workouts and minicamp, is expected to have a big role immediately in Bowles defense as a hybrid linebacker who can play in different spots on the field because of his speed and athleticism.Hell be here in time, Harris said a few hours before Lee signed. I dont know when, but it happens all around the league. Its the business side of it and I respect it. Im pretty sure hell come here ready to go when he does get here. I know what type of player he is and I know hes going to be in his playbook the days hes not here, so Im not worried about that.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Saucony Shoes Uk .

Troubled defensive end Sheldon Richardson faces possible discipline from the New York Jets after making a profanity-laced Snapchat video in the locker room before Saturday nights loss to the Miami Dolphins?-- a game in which he served as a captain.In the seven-second video, Richardson uses four expletives, including a derogatory comment about women. With teammate Rontez Miles standing in the background, Richardson, using Miles Snapchat account, appears to say, Dont f--- this guy.Coach Todd Bowles, made aware of the video late Sunday morning, was appalled by Richardsons comments. He said he will meet very soon with him to discuss it.Bowles didnt rule out in-house discipline.Well take care of it here, he said. Thats not something we condone or we encourage. Thats unacceptable.Asked if he was disturbed that a player would behave that way before a game, Bowles replied, It was disturbing that it was said at all.Bowles said he had no problem with Richardsons effort in the game. He played 45 of 48 defensive snaps -- more than any defensive lineman -- but managed only two tackles and one quarterback hit.Sheldon plays hard, Bowles said. His inappropriate comments should have never been said. Its inexcusable, but he plays hard.Richardson has a history of transgressions.The twice-suspended defensive end, a first-round pick in 2013, was benched for one quarter earlier this season. He said it was because he showed up late for a team meeting, but it was because of multiple team infractions, sources said.ddddddddddddThat came a few days after it was revealed that the Jets shopped Richardson before the Nov. 1 trading deadline, speaking to the Dallas Cowboys, among other teams.Richardson was upset the team tried to move him, sources said. Some believe that soured his attitude and could be contributing to his disappointing season -- only 1 1/2 sacks in 13 games.He was suspended by the NFL for the opener, a personal conduct violation stemming from an arrest in July 2015. He pleaded guilty for resisting arrest after leading police on a high-speed chase in suburban St. Louis. His Bentley was clocked at 143 mph, and he was driving with a child in the car, police said.Richardson served a four-game suspension at the start of the 2015 season for multiple marijuana violations.The Jets almost certainly will try to trade Richardson, the 2013 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, in the offseason. He has one year remaining on his rookie contract and is due to make $8.1 million.He spoke briefly to reporters after Saturday nights game, responding mostly with no comment. The interview session lasted less than two minutes, and he complained about having to return to the locker room to fulfill his league-mandated media obligation. ' ' '
