    Erik Ainge wanted one more chance at football. His body insisted it's time to move on.

    The New York Jets backup quarterback told The Associated Press on Thursday night that his playing career is over because of injuries to his right foot and throwing shoulder.

    "This isn't the step I wanted, but it's the hand I'm dealt," Ainge said.

I miss them as people, but it's just not in the cards physically right now."
