ORCHARD PARK, N. Sebastian Janikowski Seahawks Jersey .Y. - Rex Ryan is officially going from Broadway to Buffalo.The Bills announced in a news release Monday that Ryan has been hired to take over as coach. The news came a day after the former New York Jets coach tentatively accepted the Bills contract offer. Ryan replaces Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly on Dec. 31.Rex brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to the position that we feel will be a tremendous benefit to our players and the entire Bills organization, owner Terry Pegula said in a statement released by the team. He was very impressive during the interview process, as were many of the candidates to which we spoke. And we feel Rex is the best fit for our team.Ryan will be formally introduced during a press conference scheduled for Wednesday.The 52-year-old is a defensive specialist, and noted for a brash personality and having a deep loyalty to his players. Ryan had a 50-52 record, including 4-2 in the playoffs, in six seasons coaching the Bills AFC East rival. He was fired along with general manager John Idzik following a 4-12 finish last season.The Jets reached and lost the AFC Championship game in each of Ryans first two seasons, but failed to make the playoffs since.The Bills are already making plans to assist Ryan on offence.A person familiar with negotiations told The Associated Press that the Bills are finalizing contract discussions to hire Greg Roman as their offensive co-ordinator. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because Roman has not yet been signed.Roman spent the past four years as the San Francisco 49ers offensive co-ordinator, and was among the 12 candidates interviewed by the Bills last week. He is regarded as a good fit under Ryan, because the two share a similar run-first philosophy.Ryans hiring provides stability to a team that endured a tumultuous 10-month stretch, which began when Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March. Wilsons death raised concerns that the franchise might relocate under new owners before the Pegulas — who also own the NHL Buffalo Sabres — purchased the Bills for an NFL-record $1.4 billion in October.Then came Marrones surprising departure following a 9-7 finish. Buffalo matched its best record in a decade, but missed the playoffs to extend the NFLs longest active drought to 15 seasons.The second-year coach quit by exercising an opt-out clause in his contract that kicked in once the Bills were sold. Marrone, who will be paid $4 million this season by the Bills, had concerns of were where he fit in the teams hierarchy. The Pegulas had expressed interest in hiring a veteran NFL presence to oversee the teams football operations.Former Bills general manager Bill Polian was a candidate to fill the newly created position before informing the Pegulas on Jan. 1 that he preferred staying in broadcasting.Marrone, coincidentally, has interviewed with the Jets, where he previously served as the teams offensive line coach.The Bills became the first of six NFL teams to fill their coaching vacancy this off-season.Ryan was also a coaching candidate in Atlanta and San Francisco.In choosing the Bills, Ryan is following in the footsteps of former understudy, Mike Pettine, who left the Jets two years ago to become Buffalos defensive co-ordinator. Pettine spent a year in Buffalo before being hired to coach the Cleveland Browns.The Bills defence thrived under Pettine, and continued to be the teams strength under co-ordinator Jim Schwartz last season. Buffalo finished fourth in fewest yards allowed, and the defence produced three Pro Bowl linemen.Schwartz was a candidate for the Bills job, and his status is now uncertain under Ryan.Improving the Bills offence is Ryans top priority, and no different than the challenge he faced in New York.Buffalo finished 26th in yards gained last season, four spots behind the Jets. And the quarterback position was a concern for both teams, and involving two players selected in 2013 draft.The Jets faltered behind Geno Smith, who was eventually benched and replaced by Michael Vick for three games before finishing out the season. In Buffalo, EJ Manuel was benched after four games and replaced by 10-year journeyman Kyle Orton, who has since said he plans to retire.Manuel has two years left on his contract and is the only experienced starter on the roster.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Barkevious Mingo Jersey . -- The Jacksonville Jaguars are bringing back quarterback Chad Henne -- and making him the starter.

DAVIE, Fla. -- In the stadium program sold at the Miami Dolphins game on Halloween, Richie Incognito was asked whos the easiest teammate to scare. His answer: Jonathan Martin. The troubled, troubling relationship between the two offensive linemen took an ominous turn Monday with fresh revelations: Incognito sent text messages to his teammate that were racist and threatening, two people familiar with the situation said. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins and NFL havent disclosed the nature of the misconduct that led to Sundays suspension of Incognito, a veteran with a reputation for dirty play. Martin, a tackle, remained absent from practice Monday one week after he suddenly left the team because of emotional issues. Also missing was Incognito, a guard suspended indefinitely late Sunday by coach Joe Philbin for his treatment of Martin. Agents for the two players didnt respond to requests for comment. Martin is with his family in Los Angeles for counselling. The 319-pound Incognito, a ninth-year pro, is white. The 312-pound Martin, who is in his second NFL season, is black. For much of the season, theyve played side by side. The team and NFL continued their investigation into allegations by Martins representatives that he was bullied, and Philbin said Dolphins owner Stephen Ross asked Commissioner Roger Goodell for assistance. The NFL Players Association also planned to look into the matter. "Every decision Ive made, everything weve done in this facility has been done with one thing in mind," Philbin said. "Thats to help our players and our organization reach their full potential. Any type of conduct (or) behaviour that detracts from that objective is not acceptable and is not tolerated." Its unclear whether coaches or management had any inkling of harassment between the players before Martin left the team, and Philbin declined to answer a question about the locker-room culture. Recent rumblings of dissension have also included complaints by young players that theyre pressured to pay more than their share when team members socialize together. After beating Cincinnati in overtime Thursday, the Dolphins had three days off while the Martin story mushroomed. They returned to practice Monday and afterward found nearly 100 reporters and cameramen in their locker room. Teammates praised both Incognito and Martin and expressed regret regarding their absences, but said it was time to get on with business. "The only thing affecting us is we cant even get dressed," said receiver Mike Wallace as he surveyed the media throng. Wallace said he found Incognito to be intense but a good teammate. Newcomer Bryant McKinnie agreed. "When I got here, he was a guy who had everybody laughing and told jokes," said McKinnie, a tackle who joined the team two weeks ago. "I didnt really see the side being portrayed right now." Hazing of young players has a long history in sports, but Incognitos treatment of Martin raised questions about whether coaches or teammates should have intervened. "Its not a thin line. Its pretty obvious stuff that shouldnt be crossed," Tennessee Titans cornerback Jason McCourty said. "You would hope if stuff was getting out of hands, there were guys in the locker room who would step up and maybe nip it in the bud before it got out of control." Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett said he was glaad the Dolphins took action against Incognito. Rasheem Green Seahawks Jersey. "Especially when you try to bully a guy. Thats so classless," Dockett said. "His whole makeup is to play dirty and hurt guys. Everybody knows that. I just dont understand how he got away with it for so long. I think the NFL really needs to buckle down on it now, because its bigger than trying to hurt other guys. Youre trying to hurt guys on your team mentally, which sometimes can actually be worse than hurting someone physically." Philbin said he was unaware of hazing incidents that involved Incognito -- such as hacking into a teammates Facebook page -- shown on the HBO series "Hard Knocks," which chronicled the Dolphins training camp in 2012. Philbin said he never watched the program. "If the review shows that this is not a safe atmosphere, I will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that it is," Philbin said. "I have that obligation to the players that I coach on a daily basis, and I will do that." Before being suspended, Incognito posted several tweets saying he wanted his name cleared. "Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth," Incognito tweeted, quoting Buddha. Incognito, whos in the final year of a $13 million, three-year contract, has long had a reputation of being among the NFLs dirtiest players. During his first four years, he led the league in penalties for unnecessary roughness, and the St. Louis Rams got fed up with his undisciplined play and released him during the 2009 season. "Theres certain people out there who are just punks, and he wants to be that kind of guy," former Seahawks and Lions defensive end Lawrence Jackson said Monday. "But because hes a lineman, he gets away with a lot of stuff that people dont see. ... Incognito is way worse than anybody I ever played against." However, there have been fewer such complaints since Incognito joined the Dolphins in 2010. Last year he was voted by the leagues players into the Pro Bowl for the first time. He was the co-winner of the Dolphins Good Guy Award, given to the teams most co-operative player by the local media. He also won frequent praise from Dolphins coaches for his leadership, and this year he was voted by teammates to serve as a member of the Dolphins player council. At Nebraska, Incognitos career was cut short when he was suspended in 2004 before his junior season following a locker room altercation with a teammate. He also ran into problems with the law while with the Cornhuskers, and they said he repeatedly violated team rules. Martin protected Andrew Lucks blind side at Stanford before joining Miami as a second-round draft pick in 2012. He has been a starter since the beginning of his rookie season, but has struggled while dividing his time between left and right tackle. Stanford coach David Shaw said people at the school had been in touch with Martin. "Im a Jonathan Martin fan, so my interest is just in him getting back to the point where he gets a chance to play this game that he loves again," Shaw said. "By all accounts hes doing well. Not sure if hes going to rejoin the team this year, or when he is, but I know hes going to get himself back ready to play the game." For the first six games this year, Incognito and Martin were the two players protecting Ryan Tannehills blind side. Their troubled relationship may help explain his NFL-high 35 sacks.
