4HCrew Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Based on how you look at it the Jets are having a problem with one of the team captains and leaders. The guys is well respected in the locker room. Do you think the way the Jets are handling this could impact future contracts of the likes of Rhodes and Vilma? Also his agent represents Revis as well, not sure if that will have an impact. Everyone is going to say the NFL is a business but sometimes things can be handled better.

Also his agent represents Revis as well, not sure if that will have an impact. Everyone is going to say the NFL is a business but sometimes things can be handled better. The Jets already face uphill situations with both of those guys. Rhodes is gonna want a humongous contract and Vilma may prefer to play in a 4-3 scheme, where he was a pro-bowl calibre player. Everyone is gonna do whatever is in their best interests, regardless of how the Jets have handled Kendall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I doubt it he will poison the lockerroom, but remember Kendall was jettisoned from Arizona for some reason that wasn't readily apparent. Maybe he just pisses and moans a little too much and wears out his welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 ok Mike and the new answer is who? Clarke? C'mon Tyson. madmike knows more about football in his 18 years on this earth than anyone does. Seriously, I agree with you. Kendall has been moved around the OL and has been a consistent player and provides a much needed veteran presence. He's obviously not a co-captain on offense because he's from Massachusetts! Thomas Jones maybe a "beast" but if he doesn't have a good oline in front of him he isn't going to do anything.

The jets know what they will get from kendall, and that is more than enough to keep the guy. as someone else said, who else do we have? We didn't address it in the draft, so now we deal with it. Look at the pats, their line is composed of all 'character guys', guys that wouldn't be nearly as good if they all went their seperate ways to play on other random teams. but as a unit, they are very very good. team game...i think...

The oline is about 5 guys bonding and performing as a unit. I really feel that if Kendall isn't there this season it's going to hurt the Jets. It's a tough situation with Kendall. He says he took a paycut for the team to help out them out last year. The Jets say that he signed that contract and has to honour it. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

No need for an all-pro, although that would be excellent, just a guy who gets it done. I remember when the Pats drafted Logan Mankins with their 1st pick a couple of years ago. All of the "experts" in the media called it a stupid pick. "The Pats should have gone with a skill player or LB....blah, blah" He's only started every game since he was drafted! The Jets did the right thing last year with Mangold and Ferguson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4HCrew Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 so Mike what exactly is your plan after getting rid of Kendall? just say the line sucks and F it? sounds pretty ignorant to me...the line has some chemistry and he helps the youngs guys a ton..this is all haggling over a one year deal. Unless there is some stud out there the Jets have an eye on losing him will be a blow to whatever progress the jets line made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like the Jets brass would be content to have Wade Smith and Adrien Clarke battling for the LG spot. So far, reports have said that Clarke has been less than impressive, but there has still yet to be a real practice with pads and stuff...Of course, I think everyone would be more comfortable if Kendall played and was happy.

Unless there is some stud out there the Jets have an eye on losing him will be a blow to whatever progress the jets line made. The plan should've been to address this issue in FA or in the draft. Now that they didn't do either of those things they are gonna have major problems with or without kendall. BTW the person who should be helping the young guys is called the O Line coach. It's much more important to get guys who can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is making enough money and should honor his contract unless he plays above and beyond and he has not. So what if he helped out Mangold and D'Brick learn some schemes, thats his job. He should get a pay raise for doing so? Maybe, but not a million to a million and a half more that he is seeking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviot Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I totally don't get what kendall's problem is, he has a contract, let him just play. It's not like he was so awsome last year that he deserves a huge raise. I'm with you 124, the guy makes a million a year, he gets no sympathy from me! At the same time, I think this affair is becoming a bit of a distraction, so hopefully they work something out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a pay cut when when the Jets went 4-12 in 2005 by restructuring his contract. He played well last year and from what he said he had a verbal agreement with the Jets to up his salary this year. Good luck without Kendall.
