    Jets RB Washington on the field for team's first practice

    CORTLAND, N.Y. -- New York Jets running back Leon Washington has reported to the team and was on the field Friday morning for the first practice of training camp.

    Washington was a no-show when the rest of the team checked into the players' dormitory Thursday because of a contract dispute in which he's seeking a big raise. A Pro Bowl selection last season as a kick returner, Washington took part in drills at the start of Friday's first practice.

    It wasn't immediately known if a deal was reached between the Jets and Washington.

    Washington, due to earn $535,000 this season, is in the final year of his rookie deal and is believed to be looking for about $6 million a year.

    With Washington at SUNY Cortland, the Jets now have all of their players at camp.

    Sorry for the new thread I just rarely get to start them :)

    Horray! I wonder what prompted it, if they're going to talk about a new contract, or if the $15k/day fine is just too much for him?

    He wasn't involved in any drills. He just watched the whole time basically.

    I'm just happy that he & Jones are in camp. We need everyone there & The Jets have to stop with this crap. Leon is the future of the club along with Greene & Jones also needs to be here as well. Just give them their money that they deserved.

    Rex held him out of practice because he had to go through the running test this morning (he missed it yesterday because he wasn't there) and they didn't want to overwork him.

    Do you have a link? I can't find it.

    EDIT: Nevermind. Just speculation.
