    Said On 1050 ESPN today.

    He said he was thinking about coming out of retirement - temporarily - and suiting up for the coin toss...

    Said it's all about Rex, who is the embodiment of the best of Parcells and Herm Edwards.

    Said he's a Jet - and a Jet only - in his heart.

    C-Mart suiting up would drive this team bananas. Wonder if the fact that he's a CAPTAIN for the game means he's going to be on the sidelines for the game.

    I'm torn about this. I love Curtis Martin, but roster spots should be reserved for those players who contributed this year. This is their Conference Championship.

    C-Mart was and will always be my favorite jet of all time. i am so pumped to hear this. if he is going to be suited up it will be amazing to see.

    i get what you are saying about the roster spot but there are always like those 5 plays that never ever see the field even when players get hurt so i dont think taking one out will be that big a deal. plus if we really have to we will play martin lol

    or gholston's. He's probably a better LB than him.

    I heard the interview on 1050. Good stuff. Curtis stated he missed the last game celebration because he was away after the New Year.

    IDC Who you are.
    Taking a roster spot would be stupid but I'm thinking this wasn't serious...

    No way it was serious.

    I wouldn't think honorary captain would count against the roster...

    It wouldn't...hence: Honorary

    I thinkk Curtis' quote is being taken seriously when it was meant to be in jest

    Curtis Martin is one of the most underrated running backs in NFL history.

    Yeah, are we positive this would take a roster spot? If so then it doesn't seem right, despite the fact that Martin is a jet for life.

    I don't know about suiting him up, just do it like the Saints did with McAllister last week and that'd be cool.
