Shonn Greene and Matt Kroul get treated in New York by Mark Sanchez

A little birdie who is an impeccable source told another little birdie (who told me) former Iowa Hawkeyes Shonn Greene and Matt Kroul got to live the good life recently in New York.
Greene and Kroul are both New York Jets rookies. So is quarterback Mark Sanchez of USC, who recently signed a 5-year deal with $28 million guaranteed, and another $32 million possible.
After signing, Sanchez turned around and treated the rest of the Jets rookies to a night on the town in New York that reportedly included limos, a big dinner at a fancy restaurant, a Mets game that probably didn't include seats in the upper deck, and more.
Sanchez dropped a few dollars. More than a few, actually.
Greene, a third-round pick, signed with the Jets last week for terms that weren't disclosed, but the Newark Star-Ledger said Greene's four-year deal includes a $905,000 signing bonus.
Kroul was signed by the team as an undrafted free agent. Here are the terms of Kroul's deal.
Earlier this month, Kroul and Sanchez greeted fans in a New Jersey Dunkin' Donuts. Click here to read the full story about that.
