Jets defenceman makes long-term commitment to team, city

So, Josh Morrissey, you've just become a US$50-million man, the ink barely dry on your shiny new contract. All of your teammates are in town, with training camp set to begin Friday. You know you're going to have pay up, likely in the form of a very fancy, very expensive dinner, right?

“I’m guessing there will be something along those lines. Maybe I'll try to slip out the back door," Morrissey told me with a chuckle on Thursday.

In reality, perhaps it should be the entire Jets organization, fans of the team and civic boosters chipping in to ensure Morrissey never has to pay for another meal again around these parts, even if there's no doubt he can now handle the tab.
