 Accepting the offer on January 19 , 2009 , Ryan immediately began to carry out a plan of action he outlined for the franchise 's future . He planned to remove the players from distractions on and off the field and allow them get to know one another to build team chemistry . Thus , training camp was moved to the campus of SUNY Cortland , where the team would be relatively secluded from the media and any other distractions . Ryan and general manager Mike Tannenbaum were also determined to draft a quarterback who could lead and be the face of the franchise . As a result , the team traded up to select Mark Sanchez with the fifth overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft .
