J-E-T-S

This is 2 years now that a New York Jets veteran player has come out against the management of the Jets. Last year G Pete Kendall came out and claimed that he wanted more money, as he was only making a paltry 1.7 million. Kendall to be honest has always been known as a very serviceable guard who does his job. However, the jets didn't think he deserved more money and instead demoted him from the starting roster and treated him poorly all through camp. He was quoted as saying "I've clearly expressed that I don't want to be here. I'm running with the second team. It's seemingly [evolved] into a personal thing. I show up and I'm assigned to the rookie dorm. I don't get that" (http://www.nflgridirongab.com/2007/07/27/unhappy-pete-kendall-shows-up-at-jets-camp/). He was then traded to the Washington Redskins for a mid round draft pick in this years up coming draft.

Then, in the past few days, another player has come out and claimed that the jets organization "lied to him." According to profootballtalk.com Laveranues Coles, their #1 wr. Coles claims that the jets "strung him along" on a new deal which he thinks he's earned. Coles, who will make 5 million this year and 6 million next year, claims that he's done everything the organization has asked, which included running clear out routes to help other wr's get open. Yet the organization responded to his request by saying no and cited his lack of production as the reason. Coles was obviously pissed about this, and now claims he will not report to training camp until he gets a new deal or is granted his release.

Hmm, something is obviously messed up with the jets current system. Two team leaders, two years in a row, come out and bash the organization for not running a fair ship. It seems that Mangenius is running a shady operation up in New York. I'm not really all that surprised. I mean he learned from a man who is probably going to be suspended for a year for stealing other teams signals and using them for the past 6 or so years. I guess apples really dont fall far from the tree... Whatever in the end the jets suck. They are an aging team with a young, terrible qb with little light at the end of the tunnel. Its even worse when the vetern players feel as if they are being cheated. If i was Coles i wouldn't ask for a new contract, i'd ask for a trade or my release. What a joke.
