On Pennington: The Jury is still out
From reading Hutch's article this morning, it's clear that Pennington wants to remain a Jet and it sounds like he is willing to take a pay cut, just not the one the Jets had initially offered. His agent, countered with an offer in the neighborhood of $4-5 million this year, so I imagine if they can work down to somewhere north of $3 million, he might be able to stay with the team.

I've said all along, give Pennington his 3 million dollar roster bonus and the one million salary with incentives. This cuts five million off this years cap and adds no future cap liability.
First off, I'm always quick to criticize, so I have to compliment the story by Cimini on Pennington in the News this morning.
Now the question is: how does re-signing Chad truly affect the draft? If healthy, you have a decent starting qb, so do they still go out and get Cutler or Leinart, or do they stay put, get D'Brick and go for a qb in the second round (like a Croyle), or do they even trade down, get more picks and try to fill a bunch of holes?
I know there's a clamoring to trade up and get a “franchise” qb, but with so many things to address, is that really the right move?
