Would Stanton give any consideration to a second stint with the Jets considering the way things played out for him in the Big Apple the first time around?

Five days after signing with the Jets in free agency in 2012, Stanton requested a release or trade out of New York after the acquisition of Tim Tebow. Stanton was ultimately shipped to the Colts in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick.
