Help us salute Dennis for his contributions on the field, his inspiration off the field and his unwavering commitment to the Jets. Although it was always understood, now we make it official: Dennis will be the last Jet to ever wear number 90, forever cementing his place in team history.

Help Fight Hunger

The New York Jets in conjunction with A-1 First Class Moving and Storage will hold its annual food drive to benefit the Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN). Fans are encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations (no glass items) that will be collected at all gates upon entering the stadium.

Ticket Exchange

When you sell tickets on NFL Ticket Exchange or forward them using Jets Account Manager, the original barcodes are canceled and new ones are issued immediately so there's only one set of valid tickets available at a time. If someone tries to get in using the original tickets with canceled barcodes, we'll flag your account and may suspend your selling and forwarding privileges while we investigate.

This is part of our aggressive efforts to protect season ticket holders and other Jets fans from ticket fraud and provide a great gameday experience. Please don't try to use your tickets or give them to friends or family after you've sold or forwarded them, and destroy them to make sure they don't get lost or stolen.

Remember: Once you sell or forward, shred 'em and forget 'em! **For more information click here.**
