A big green and white sign greeted Mark Sanchez as he drove up to the New York Jets' training facility for the first time in months.

And, boy, was it a pleasant sight.

"Welcome Back!" it blared in block letters, followed by "Here Come The Jets."

"It was wonderful," Sanchez said with a big smile Tuesday. "Now we're back and we can start playing, so it's good."

The gates were up, facilities were open all around the league and NFL players finally went to work.

Now, they need to get ready for the season in a hurry.

"It's good to be back, get everything over with and just come back and feel welcome again," said Brett Swain of the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. "Get back in the roll of things and get camp started."

After a lockout that lasted 4½ months ended Monday with an agreement between the NFL and its players, teams' facilities were buzzing with activity Tuesday.
