Jets ask Pennington to massive take pay cut
Report: Jets ask Pennington to massive take pay cut
Chris Mortensen reports on ESPN that the New York Jets have asked quarterback Chad Pennington to take a massive pay cut to a $1 million base salary with playing time incentives that would compensate for the remaining $8 million they owe him Pennington is currently rehabbing from his second right shoulder surgery in two years and has been out since the third game of the 2005 season. He is due a $3 million roster bonus the first week of March. As the Jets' starter he has a 15-6 record and a 102.9 passer rating when he's feeling no pain, an 8-12 mark and an 82.5 rating when he's injured or rehabbing from an injury. |

seems reasonable to me, if you are constantly injured, then you dont need to be making that kind of money. Which brings up the question, why havent we done this with Sims yet?

The only way I want him is maybe at Todd Collins backup/replacement... and on the same sort of payscale

I don't think Chad would be that bad a signing, assuming he came real cheap. If Trent went down for a few games, a guy like Pennington who's been starting for the past several seasons (and has playoff wins under his belt) seems more appealing than anyone we have at the moment.
But considering how much Herm always seemed to be in love with Chad, I'd fear it being a "he'll be a backup until Trent retires, and then he'll take over" situation. Nuts to that. |

He's not what I would call a starter, more like the Juan Gonzalez of the Jets... |

Jets will have a new starter this season.
I'm thinking Drew Brees will end up there.

I'd take Pennington as a cheap FA backup. Give him a few years to rehab and *maybe* he can be a starter again. With Trent as our QBOTPresent, and Collins as our 1st backup, and both guys having played lengthy careers already... a younger but experience backup/QBOTF candidate on the cheap makes a lot of sense. It's not like Herm is going to pull Trent in favor of Chad anytime soon. |
