    OK, sure, this one falls under the category of "good problem to have," but it could be an issue. Namely, the New York Jets have three No. 1-caliber wide receivers in the opinion of Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com.

    Per Cimini, the Jets will have to use training camp to determine the roles of Jerricho Cotchery, Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards. Cotchery can line up anywhere, while the other two are more used to playing split end. However, Cimini adds that both Holmes and Edwards are interested in playing flanker.

    The other issue is figuring out a good pass-run balance on offense. The team put a huge emphasis on the running game in 2009 to great benefit; however, with the addition of Holmes -- and the progress of Mark Sanchez -- there will likely be more balls in the air this season. Not saying that they'll become the Indianapolis Colts, but the ratio could certainly shift a bit.
