Title: Jets Offseason Report
Post by StegRock on Feb 15^th, 2006, 12:59am

"Pennington" and "cut" in the same sentence... Currently from atop "The REAL Feed":

Jets Target Pennington (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/14/AR2006021401753.html)
Washington Post: Sports (15.02.2006 00:36)
The New York Jets want quarterback Chad Pennington to lower his 2006 income from $9 million to as little as $1 million, an NFL source says.

Chad's making his sitch very dicey by not accepting a pay cut, especially with the Jets perhaps in line to get one of these yummy college QB prospects AND the change in the coaching regime... From "The REAL Feed":

This is an all around ugly situation. The Jets stink!!!

I think the coach is trying to just send a message to Pennington to get his act together or he will be benched. The problem is, who to go to? Neither Ramsey nor Bollinger have stepped up at all preseason. Clemens has a better passing rating in the preseason, but he is a rookie playing against 2nd and 3rd string.

So, I have no doubt that Pennington will be the starter. But, I guess he is going to be on a VERY short leash. Ultimately, Clemens needs to practice his butt off because he has a great shot of becoming the starter by week 9 with this Jets offense!!

Pennington confirmed QB1:

Ramsey, Clemens and Bollinger now are competing for the backup job. Pennington won't play in the preseason finale against Philadelphia on Friday night, but will be under center Sept. 10 against Tennessee.
