Not much of a penalty, missing one more preseason game.  Of course, I don't know what caused him to walk out in the first place, so I'm not judging too much.

The New York Jets originally suspended Dimitri Patterson indefinitely. Tonight they announced on twitter that Patterson is only suspended for the preseason.

Are the Jets taking a wait and see approach with Patterson? Final roster cuts are due on Saturday, so the Jets could be active participants on the waiver wire. At any rate this is a simple slap on the wrist for a player that went AWOL.

So, to sum up, Patterson suspended until Monday when #NYJ begins serious prep for season opener vs. OAK. Survives being released for now.

How do they get paid?  Do they get a game check for preseason?  The owners charge the same amount for the seats.

I'm assuming there's a big fine, too.

Bottom line is this, if there was someone out there that could play as well as Patterson available for a reasonable price we would just cut this guy. No one likes what happened, and Patterson looks terrible in all of this, but we are clearly already short handed at the position and aren't going to go out of our way to hurt the team further. If Jonathon Joseph were available, we would probably love to send him packing, but unless you are the Pats you aren't going to really shake up your roster too much with this little time left before the season to practice.

They don't have much of a choice

You could say that for everybody on the team. 

[Jets Voice of Reason]

Between this and sitting Braylon for a quarter, this team sure knows how to slap a good wrist.

 

Walk out on us during preseason? Well **** it, we won't let you have a preseason game to walk out on then!

[faba]

Wait until final roster cuts and then he will be gone after we add someone

[T0mShane]

POUND. OF. FLESH.

[bitonti]

just wait fellow Jets fans,

 

until you get to see Revis in Red white and blue 2x a year.

 

That will be entertainment. I can throw up in my mouth a little just thinking about it. 

 

hey who knows maybe 3x if the jets get the privilege of playing wild card football. 

 

the Jets had the greatest cornerback in the game. 

 

Now they have no cornerbacks at all. 

 

And most of the fans on message boards seem to think these are unrelated statements. 

 

The CB situation is very easy to solve, in hindsight. Don't let your amazingly awesome player get away. Pay the man his money.

To be clear I don't blame Idzik even tho everyone knew McDougle couldn't stay healthy and Patterson is a bum

 

I blame Woody who for whatever reason took the Revis situation very, very, personal. 

 

 

but hey at least they have cap space. Thank F--k for that. 

[Larz]

I'm assuming there's a big fine, too.

 

max is a 4 game suspension and 1 game check per CBA

[Larz]

bit - revis is the new deion, no team can keep him for more than a coupla years. 

 

we'll always have this SB trophies to fall back on from when he was here tho

Jets' Dimitri Patterson suspended, says AWOL reports 'totally false'

New York Jets cornerback Dimitri Patterson denied reports that he went AWOL over the weekend after temporarily rejoining the team Monday.

"There's no need for concern," Patterson told USA TODAY Sports before practice. "The reports about me going AWOL are totally false. I have my reason for missing those days. I'm not going to go into specifics, but I've discussed those reasons with the people I need to discuss them with. But as far as going AWOL, no, that's totally false."

However later in the afternoon, the Jets suspended Patterson.

The following statement attributed to general manager John Idzik appeared on the team's Twitter account: "[Patterson] will be suspended indefinitely, and that will allow us to gather more information to what led to his behavior."

Patterson, 31, missed the team's game against the New York Giants on Friday, and team officials said the absence was "unexcused." His failure to show up for the game led to speculation he had grown frustrated with recent injuries.

But Patterson, a 10-year veteran, said that's not the case.

"I'm in a great mindset," he said. "I always was in a great mindset, and I always will be, and I love my life. So there's nothing that would cause me just to go AWOL, so those reports are totally false."

He declined to say whom he informed among Jets brass that he would be absent from the game.

"I can't really go into details about that," said Patterson. "But just know that I've been in the league for 10 years, and no one's just going to up and leave and just not tell anybody.

"But what I will say is I discussed those reasons with the people I need to discuss them with, and that's it. And my mind frame is in a great place, always has been and always will be.

"I don't know where this whole AWOL thing came from. And the media's really ... run with it for whatever reason."

So much for Idzik running a tight ship, lol... If you're a 5th corner then you can help make up for his bumbling of the draft and cheapskate ways in free agency, so he'll roll out the red carpet for you.

[SickJetFan]

So last year idziot brought us the goodson shoot em up on the side of hwy toasted freak show (with injury history)

Wow, i didn't expect him to play anyway.

[Greenseed4]

I think a more suitable punishment would be to have him play ALL four quarters. 

 

you know, to get him ready and stuff. 

[j4jets]

are you crazy you don't pay CBs QB money no way not even the great Revis sorry no way

Patrick Patterson n Richard Sherman say hi.

[j4jets]

Or maybe he had a decent excuse.

Like, his period started?

[SayNoToDMC]

Unless he was in contact with a west african and exhibiting Ebola symptoms, self quarantined in a room without a cell phone charger it should have probably been more but I trust Rex.

Based on his track record, he might not even make it through that whole game.

It's actually worse than that Bit.   after fleecing Tampa for a 1st and 4th the jets could have had Revis back w/o giving up anything.   

 

The Jets could have had: 

 

Milliner, Saunders, and Revis (at less $ than he initially wanted) without giving up anything other than letting Revis rehab his knee in Tampa for a year.

The guy could still be cut.

The Chowds had one shut down corner last year and we beat them. They have one shut down corner this year.

[bitonti]

bit - revis is the new deion, no team can keep him for more than a coupla years. 

The Pats just cleared a ton of cap room in the Mankins trade

 

what could they be doing that for? Hmmm???

but what about all the precious precious cap space? 

 

Winning is great and all but coming in under budget is even better! 

 

the people who say you don't pay Revis cause he's a corner, neglect to notice that the Jets currently have all sorts of cap space, and no one worth paying.
