The New York Jets are banking on wide receiver Santonio Holmes and quarterback Mark Sanchez working out their differences.

A clause in Holmes' five-year contract was trigged Wednesday morning, guaranteeing the wideout $7.5 million for the 2013 season.

Holmes, who just completed his second season with the Jets, was already assured of guaranteed money for 2012.

The fractured relationship between Holmes and Sanchez was given as one of the reasons for New York's 8-8 season that finished with three straight losses.

Holmes reportedly was sulking and squabbling with teammates in the huddle before he was benched in the season finale. There also were reports that he had issues with Sanchez throughout the season.

Earlier this week, he reached out to Sanchez on his Twitter account with a posting that said: "Hope your getting as antsy as me for the 2012-13 season to start."
