NEW YORK -- Kellen Winslow Jr. turned a three-day tryout into another chance at reviving his NFL career. The former Pro Bowl tight end was signed to a one-year deal by the New York Jets on Friday after a solid performance during the teams minicamp this week. Winslow was brought in on a tryout basis and impressed coach Rex Ryan, who wouldnt comment Thursday as to whether a signing was imminent but seemed to indicate he was pleased with what he saw. "That athleticism and his ability to catch the football," Ryan said, "it certainly jumps out." Winslow received a call from the Jets last Saturday, flew to the New York area Monday and was practicing the next day. He was active during the minicamp practices, making several catches on throws from both Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith. He was also used red-zone drills, in particular, with a few of his receptions coming in those situations. "Hes still a very athletic guy," Ryan said. "How many catches he had specifically, Im not sure, but you certainly feel his presence." Winslow, who turns 30 next month but said his sometimes troublesome knees were healthy, adds depth to a position thin on experience after New York allowed Dustin Keller to leave as a free agent. Jeff Cumberland, with 32 career catches in three seasons, has been the projected starter, with Konrad Reuland, a solid blocker, and former rugby player Hayden Smith the backups. Winslow played in just one game last season with New England before asking for his release. He expected to get another shot, but was left wondering about his NFL career this off-season when no calls came. Winslow said after his first practice with the Jets that "I have years left." Before leaving the teams locker room Thursday, Winslow said he hadnt heard yet if he would be signed by the Jets but made it clear he thought he could add something to Marty Mornhinwegs offence. "I feel like it would be a great spot," Winslow said. "I like it here. I like the team, I like the teammates. Hopefully, I can stay." Winslow, the son of Hall of Famer and former Chargers star Kellen Winslow, was a first-round draft pick of Cleveland in 2004. After a broken right leg as a rookie and a torn knee ligament the next year, Winslow had 89 catches in 2006 and made the Pro Bowl as an alternate the following year. He was traded to Tampa Bay in 2009 and had solid seasons of 77, 66 and 75 catches. The Buccaneers traded him to Seattle before last season, but he was waived in September after declining to reduce his salary. He signed with New England a few weeks later and played one game with one catch for 12 yards -- before asking for and being granted his release. "We thought Kellen did a nice job given the fact that you get off a plane, you get into a meeting, and a couple hours later youre out on the field," general manager John Idzik said. "I think all things considered, he did a pretty good job." Jerry Azumah Jersey .

The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. A ticketing frenzy has engulfed Saturdays AFL preliminary final, as Greater Western Sydney and Western Bulldogs fans fight to snap up fast-disappearing seats already being legally scalped for up to $400.A reported 18,000 tickets had already been sold on Monday morning for the 24,000-capacity venue to members of both clubs and ANZ Stadium.The venue for the clash has been a contentious point after the AFL stuck with historical modelling and scheduled the match at the Giants home ground rather than the much larger ANZ Stadium.The leagues decision, made on the basis that a maximum of 8000 people usually travel to watch their clubs play finals footy interstate, sparked fears the Bulldogs 40,000-strong member base would be left disappointed.The Giants have a membership of around 16,000.Die-hard Dogs fans camped out at Footscray overnight to secure their tickets while others encountered problems attempting to buy them online.Hours before the leftovers were due to be made available to the general public on Monday afternoon, tickets had already been advertised for re-sale on Ticketmaster at prices significantly higher than those set by the AFL.Category 1 seats initially on sale for $179 were up for re-sale at up to $401.The AFL FFans Association described the practice as legalised scalping and called on the league to address the issue.ddddddddddddThis is taking advantage of desperate fans, president Gerry Eeman said.It is legalised scalping which facilitates blatant profiteering.The AFL will need to do something about this in the off-season.The re-sale rip-off has been happening for each final.Playing the game at a small stadium like Spotless means tickets are already scarce, which means supporters are even more vulnerable than usual.It is also wrong that these resellers have had access to up to eight tickets each.Wed like to know how this can happen for such a high-demand game with extremely limited ticket availability.Giants captain Callan Ward still believed the AFL had made the correct decision in granting his team their right to host.I think it is (the right call), Ward said.All our boys love playing at Spotless.When the fans get out there its a really good feeling.Its a great ground to watch the game at, I think it was voted No.1 in Australia.Its a great ground to watch the game and the players love being there.
