The relationship between tight end Brian Parker and the New York Jets is one likened to that first date after meeting one another on the L-train; things were awkward and so it never made it to a second date. You both realized the timing wasn’t quite right; as time passes and needs change you decide to give things another try.
With the Jets and Parker’s history, there’s pressure for both sides to justify a sign-waive-reclaim. In either position, the approaching preseason will decide if the back together again is magical or ordinary.
