Re: THIS IS ONLY A RUMOR: KENDALL to the Redskins

In addition, if you analyze the comments of Gibbs and Bugel recently, they have gone out of their way to defend the play of Stephon Heyer. They indicate that he was not responsible for the hit on Campbell's knee.

That tells me that they're pinning that play on the LG. Heisel slipped in between Heyer and Pucillo, but you didn't hear Gibbs or Bugel defending Pucillo at all. I think they feel it was Pucillo's fault.

And you know that hit to Campbell scared the living hell out of them. I'll bet the decision to acquire an LG was made right after that hit. They then started calling around, heard about Kendall, heard what he wanted money-wise, cleared the space by cutting Marshall, and made the trade.

That is an interesting point, and in retrospect cutting Marshall makes much more sense .

Well, I don't get it because if it was about clearing salary space, how come we paid Godfrey 300K more than Marshall? What am I missing here?

I haven't seen what Godfrey was paid. Do you have a link?

I assumed it was vet minimum.

He got $1.3MM. I'll try to dig the link up for you.

Jets Deal Unhappy O-lineman Kendall

What makes me feel great is the choice of words in the first two paragraphs. Let's pick a few out, shall we?

Acrimony
Bickering
Disgruntled
Upset
Railed
Grievances
Dispute

All used to describe a 34-year old football player.

Gives me goosebumps all over.

I'd be more nervous if we signed him to a seven year deal. But as a stop-gap for a couple seasons, I can't imagine he'll cause that many problems, if any.

... all caused by MONEY.

He just got his raise. I think he'll be fine.

Re: KENDALL to the Redskins (confirmed)

The fact that it's a 1 or 2 (at the most) year deal makes me VERY okay with this. He's a vet so he should pick up on things quickly, and he's been in Jets training camp so I'm sure he's in game shape. I hope the "undisclosed mid-round draft pick" is a 5th rounder and not a 3rd or 4th...

While that does concern me, I don't recall any issues with him at Arizona or Seattle. Plus, he's from Mass, and playing in NY, who wouldn't be a little irritated!
I think it's a great pickup. 5th rounder is nothing special, and we now have valuable depth. Whether he's a starter or not, he's worth it.

My major concern is that Bugel / Gibbs doesn't like Wade right now and wanted a plan b.

How about the fact that they really didn't seem to have a plan B to begin with?
