For the last two weeks, Ainge has not been at the morning workouts at the Jets' training facility. A Jets spokesperson said that the workouts are technically voluntary, but every roster player other than running back Thomas Jones, currently in a contract negotiation with the team, is there to learn the system being implemented by new coach Rex Ryan.
Ainge was at the facility on March 26, the first time the media were allowed back to talk to players. For the last two weeks, however, he has not been in the locker room for that availability, and several teammates said they had not seen him at the facility in at least a week.
His agent, James Sexton, did not return numerous calls seeking comment on the situation. The Jets would only say that the sessions are voluntary.
