Kellen Winslow TE NYJ 16 Hrs
Kellen Winslow's one-year contract with the Jets is worth $840,000 and contains no guaranteed money.
Winslow didn't even get a signing bonus. It's a reminder that although he's the most talented tight end on the roster, he's not a lock to make the final 53. Winslow must prove that his knees can survive a full training camp.

Jets signed TE Kellen Winslow to a one-year contract.
30 years old next month, Winslow by all accounts impressed at his tryout at Jets minicamp and couldn't have picked a better landing spot for playing-time opportunities. Current starter Jeff Cumberland is a lumbering, stiff upright tight end and No. 2 TE Hayden Smith is a converted rugby player. There's a real chance Winslow will wind up starting for the Jets, although we wouldn't expect much of a fantasy impact. Purely a possession receiver at this point in his career, Winslow appeared in one game in 2012, catching one pass for 12 yards. He is a shell of the seam-stretcher and vertical threat he once was.

The Jets will reportedly try to sign free agent TE Kellen Winslow following this week's minicamp.
If Winslow's balky knees can hold up for a couple more days, he's going to get an offer. He's impressed during his tryout and is obviously a massive talent upgrade on current starting tight end Jeff Cumberland. The question is if Winslow can sustain health.

Free agent Kellen Winslow will try out for the Jets at their minicamp next week.
Winslow, 30 next month, reportedly drew some interest from the Raiders earlier in the offseason, and the veteran also said the Panthers and Browns were poking around on him. The former No. 6 overall pick was on the street for much of 2012. Winslow caught one pass for 12 yards in one game with the Patriots.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the Browns are not interested in free agent Kellen Winslow, despite his claim to the contrary.
New coach Rob Chudzinski coached Winslow at the University of Miami and during his 2007-08 stint as the Browns' offensive coordinator, but apparently isn't keen on a reunion. Winslow's creaky knees likely have something to do with it. Winslow is doing his best to create the appearance of a market for his services, but there shouldn't be any rush to get him under contract.

Free agent TE Kellen Winslow says he's drawing interest from the Browns and Panthers in addition to the Raiders.
"I think I could fit in anywhere," Winslow said Monday on NFL AM. "I'm a mismatch. I'm basically a basketball player playing tight end." It's good to see Winslow hasn't lost his confidence after appearing in just one game last season. Although he says he's healthy, any potential interest in Winslow will depend almost exclusively on the state of his troublesome knees.

The Raiders have shown interest in free agent TE Kellen Winslow.
Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Winslow's knees are "finally healthy" and he wants to "keep going." We'll believe it when we see it. The Raiders are in the market for a tight end and could offer Winslow a minimum salary contract.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says free agent Kellen Winslow is still "suffering from tremendous pain in his knee" from his 2005 motorcycle accident.
The topic was brought up in a chat when a reader asked if the Browns and Winslow could reunite in 2013. Beat writer Mary Kay Cabot points out that new head coach Rob Chudzinski and Winslow have a "great relationship" dating back to their days together at the University of Miami, but she doesn't see the fit. Winslow appeared in one game with the Patriots in 2012 before requesting his release.

According to SI.com's Peter King, "smart people" knew Kellen Winslow and Patriots coach Bill Belichick "would never be a fit."
King hears from a source that Belichick inquired about Winslow during the offseason only to be told by good friend Greg Schiano, in effect, "You do not want this guy." Winslow had previously said he "had to roll" out of Tampa because he didn't like Schiano's "toes on the line!" approach. It's no surprise that he lasted just a week with Belichick.
