nj meadowlands Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Only 20.8 M?? New York Jets Cap room: $20.8 million Eric Mangini surprised everyone by making the Jets a contender in his first season. The mission gets tougher this year. The Jets' opponents last year had a collective winning percentage of .469. And against teams with a .500 record or better, the Jets went just 3-4. This year, their schedule is tougher (opponents' winning percentage is a collective .516), which should pull the Jets back closer to .500. The Jets have only five free agents, the only starter being right tackle Anthony Clement. They could make a few changes on the roster with wide receiver Justin McCareins, cornerback David Barrett and halfbacks Kevan Barlow and Derrick Blaylock being possible casualties. Curtis Martin will retire. Still, Mangini is molding a Bill Belichick-type of team. The players are smart and they know the game. Chad Pennington made an incredible comeback from two shoulder surgeries. With great coaching and a no-huddle option, Pennington will be pushing the Jets to challenge the Patriots for the AFC East title if they can get past the tougher schedule.

He is ugly and I dislike him, but I must agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
