Three days ago the Dallas Cowboys released Demarcus Ware, one of the best defensive players in Cowboys franchise history. Ware was drafted in 2005 and compared, by then coach Bill Parcels, to Lawrence Taylor.

Ware put up 117 sacks in his nine years as a Cowboy and was selected to the Pro-Bowl every year from 2006-2012. He had a career low six sacks in 2013 but he missed the first three games of the season with a quadriceps strain. Ware also had a string of 11 seasons in which he had at least 11 sacks. He had a career high 20 sacks in 2008 and almost did it again in 2011 with 19.5 sacks. Ware had three consecutive 15-sack seasons. The only football player ever to have more is NFL Hall of Famer, Reggie White who had five consecutive 15-sack seasons.

It has been reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Ryan and the Jets have come to an agreement on a multi-year contract extension. The details of the contract are not yet public but what is known is that Ryan will be with the Jets for at least the next three years.

In the next two seasons he led he Jets to two straight AFC Championship games, losing one to Indianapolis and the other to Pittsburgh. In 2011, expectations for the Jets were high but they ended up at what was then a disappointing 8-8 season. The 2012 season brought about more disappointment for the Jets.
