    Thinking big on Day 1 of free agency, the New York Jets started negotiations with their No. 1 priority -- wide receiver Santonio Holmes -- and they also showed interest in former Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, league sources said Tuesday night.

    It would be a daily double for the ages, landing Holmes and Asomugha, who is widely regarded as the top free agent on the market. The Jets have expressed interest in re-signing cornerback Antonio Cromartie, but they're intrigued by the possibility of an Asomugha-Darrelle Revis tandem, according to sources.

    It's unclear if the Jets are willing to get into a bidding war for Asomugha, whose asking price probably exceeds Revis' $11.5 million-a-year salary, but general manager Mike Tannenbaum is known for creative deals. If Asomugha is looking for the most money, it probably rules out the Jets, with teams such as the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans reportedly among his suitors.
