When the clock struck midnight, Jets unrestricted free agent nose tackle Jason Ferguson turned into a Cowboy.

Ferguson, who anchored the Jets run defense last season, rebuffed the Jets' offer and will sign with the Cowboys and former Jets coach Bill Parcells, someone with knowledge of the situation said early this morning.

Terms of the contract were unavailable.

The move left the Jets, who felt they were close to a deal with Ferguson, scrambling to find a replacement. They're eyeing Bills free agent defensive tackle Pat Williams, trying to get him to fly to New York today. Williams is believed to have several bidders, including one from the Vikings.

Ferguson, 30, will be reunited with Parcells, who drafted him in the seventh round out of Georgia in 1997. He played three seasons under Parcells and one season with while while Parcells was in the Jets' front office.

The nine--year pro is coming off a career season in which he had 59 tackles and 3 1/2 sacks. He was coveted because of his ability to play in a 3-4 alignment, a scheme the Cowboys will employ this season.

Now THAT was quick.

Only took about an hour and six minutes.

Good job, 'Boys.

So does this mean we are definately running the 3-4?

I hope not, at least not exclusively. I would prefer to see both glover and abraham line up together. Don't forgot, last season (Ferguson's most productive) was in the 4-3 at NY.

Well crap, not only has my math ability flown out the window, but so has my respect for the front office. Two hours? You kiddin' me? We'll be lucky to even turn in our selection on time to make that No. 11 pick come April at this rate.
