New York Jets are trying to recruit a gambling venue sponsor

Legalized sports gambling really kicks off this weekend in New Jersey, as 14 different venues vie for NFL wagers.

Interest is so great that The Post has learned the New York Jets have been huddling with some of these gambling venues about becoming an official sponsor of the team, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said.

A sponsorship could run about $750,000 to $1 million for the year, according to sources.

In recent weeks, the NFL began allowing casino advertising at its stadiums. The Dallas Cowboys last week announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with WinStar World Casino of Oklahoma.
