Leon Washington recently told reporters that he may not report for the Jets' start of training camp if the front office is not ging to solve his contract dispute during the next few weeks.
Washington made the Pro Bowl as a kick returner last season and his current contract will bring him $535,000 of income this season. As he is ususally compared to Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew and San Diego's Darren Sproles, who get about $6 million of pay per year, Washingto n is looking for a "fair market value". For this reason, he sat out the first three weeks of OTA. But he returned to team last week and attended the first day of mandatory minicamp Tuesday.
He still may not attend Jets' training camp started on July 30 in Cortland, N.Y. if his contract dispute is still not solved.

Jets rookie Sanchez is getting used to NFL life
Mark Sanchez attended the Jets in April as the fifth overall during draft time. Since then he has been working hard and learning a lot about NFL life.
As the Jets will end their last mandatory minicamp this week, and will start training camp next month, Sanchez has a lot of things to do during the off weeks.
“I’m going to go home (to California) for a little bit just to see the family and get all of my stuff out from there and move it here,” Sanchez told reporters Tuesday. “I’m still living in a hotel, so I have to figure out my living situation. That (the off weeks) will be a good time to go do that and take a little time off myself, just relax for about a week because it’s going to be a long season. It’s going to be a grind, especially for a rookie. I’m excited about it, and I’ll be ready to go come camp time.”
Sanchez also said that Kellen Clemens, who is competing with him for the Jets’ starting QB job, has been helping him a lot. Excitement and cooperation, the rookie is getting used to NFL life as a professional football player.
