The New York Jets, in conjunction with JetBlue, New York’s hometown airline, and the NY Daily News, New York’s hometown newspaper, today unveiled a “50 Years of New York Jets Football” photo exhibit at the value airline’s Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).  The exhibit showcases exclusive and rare photographs from the archives of the Daily News that chronicle a half-century of Jets football.  The event, hosted by ESPN Sports Commentator and Voice of the Jets, Bob Wischusen, featured a Q&A segment with current Jets players Jerricho Cotchery and Kerry Rhodes and former Jets greats Emerson Boozer and Wesley Walker.

“Seeing these photos brings back so many great memories,” said Emerson Boozer. The former running back is featured in a photo showing his second touchdown that sealed a Jets victory over the Baltimore Colts on October 22, 1972. “It is an honor to be a part of this franchise and it is exciting that we able to share it with countless travelers who will pass through this terminal over the coming months.”

The exhibit, which chronicles the Jets’ past with more than 25 photos, will remain on display in Terminal 5 through February 7, 2010.

“As the largest domestic carrier at JFK, JetBlue will welcome millions of customers and Jets fans through our award-winning Terminal 5 over the coming months,” said Fiona Morrisson, director of brand management and advertising for JetBlue Airways.  “Together with the NY Daily News, we are thrilled to provide travelers – young and old, locals and visitors –a unique look back at the history of the Jets, a major sports franchise right here in our own backyard.”

“The Daily News is honored to help celebrate 50 years of Jets Football,” said Marc Kramer, CEO of the NY Daily News. “We’ve searched our archives to find exclusive and rare photos of some of the best moments in NY Jets history. We are pleased to offer New Yorkers, Jets fans, Jet Blue customers and all visitors to Terminal 5 at JFK the opportunity to enjoy these amazing photographs from the award-winning Daily News photo team.”

Plans for an exhibit were announced when JetBlue announced a three-year sponsorship to become the Official Airline Partner of the New York Jets on September 8, 2009.

The New York Jets have signed WR Britt Davis to the practice squad.  The announcement was made by Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum.

Davis (6-3/205/Northern Illinois/Melrose Park, IL) originally signed with the Jets as a rookie free agent on May 1, 2009 and was waived on Sept. 5.  During the preseason, Davis caught five receptions for 54 yards.  At Northern Illinois, he finished his career fifth on the NIU all-time charts for career catches with 146 and totaled 1,676 receiving yards, 2,063 all-purpose yards and nine career touchdowns.

The New York Jets announced that Kerry Locklin will not continue as the team’s defensive line coach. His duties will be assumed by defensive assistant Jeff Weeks.

“It is a mutual decision that Kerry no longer will be with us,” said Head Coach Rex Ryan. “I will be overseeing the entire defense as I always have with Mike Pettine. We felt it was the best thing for both of us moving forward. This is a sensitive issue. The timing is unfortunate but I felt this was in the best interests for both of us.”

Locklin joined the Jets in 2009 after nine seasons as the defensive line coach at Fresno State. He has also coached collegiately at Eastern Michigan (1995-1999), Morehead State (1990-93), Utah (1989) and Western New Mexico (1988) and for Shreveport in the CFL (1994). As a player, Locklin was an All-WAC tight end at New Mexico State who played three years in the NFL (Rams, 1982-83, Broncos, 1987) and two seasons in the USFL (1984-85).

Weeks, a defensive assistant who worked with the defensive line, came to the Jets in 2009 after one season as a defensive assistant with the Raiders. A 23-year coaching veteran, Weeks coached with Rex Ryan at Morehead State (1990-91) and at Oklahoma (1998). Weeks has also coached collegiately at Texas A&M-Kingsville (2005-06), Southeastern Oklahoma State (2004), Trinity Valley (Texas) CC (2000-03), where he coached Jets defensive back Drew Coleman, Fort Scott (Kansas) CC (1999), Glendale (Arizona) CC (1997) and Phoenix (Arizona) CC (1996). Weeks played collegiately as a wide receiver at Southwest Oklahoma State and Northwest Oklahoma State before attending camp with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Bartlesville, OK native was an all-state football player at College High School.

The New York Jets have signed LB Kenwin Cummings to the active roster from the practice squad. The announcement was made by Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum.

Cummings (6-3/250/Wingate/Maxton, NC), was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 7, 2009.  He originally signed with the Jets on May 2, 2008 as an undrafted free agent and was inactive for the 2008 season opener at Miami. He was waived on Sept. 10 and signed to the practice squad on Sept. 16 where he spent the remainder of the season.
