Coles can’t handle the fact that the current regime acts like a business.

Trade him now….if he can not get his a@@ into the workouts than move him. Good player but nothing more than a #2. There is not one of us on this blog who would not work for 1/20th of what he is getting. 4-12 and he wants more!!!! Gave us some good times now it is time to move on before camp opens.

As much as I like Coles, if he is going to be a distraction, he should be traded. So much for him acting like a Captain. Let’s see how happy he is in Green Bay. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Adios.

He’s a fanny, who want to reup his contract every 2 years or so, he’s already had 2 big bonus’s and he wants his again, reality check u had ur worst eason since ur rookie year, and ur banged up all the time, and u bitch like a little girl, it’s amazing how fat u can change ur opion of a player

What kind of example is Coles setting as a leader, a captain, a team player. Beefs taken to the press shows a lack of character. Players agree to terms at one point, then want to renegotiate in the middle. His contract was done over once upon his return, and probably irate over recent acquisitions. His position is really one of two on offense that hasn’t been addressed yet(QB the other) and should be glad he hasn’t had to look over his shoulder. It’s insane to boycott when this gives him opportunity to show unity and support. Clearly, he intends to be a disturbance. A captain, with guaranty millions and a contract. Didn’t he learn from Kendall the team comes first. His days with the Jets are few. I’d be surprised if he gets past preseason.

Harlan, I agree with your business sense but that only makes sense if the team is winning. If they lose again, his whining will disrupt the team, big time. That is why they got rid of Kendall, even without having an adequate backup. I agree that LC should shut up[ and be happy with 11m, but I could see trading him (maybe draft day) if they can draft a good prospect and if Tangini judges that LC is becoming more trouble than he’s worth.

Those of you saying f#*& him and that we have him under contract for two more years should not underestimate the impact he will have on other players on the team if he is unhappy. He has the respect of other players. I don’t particularly want to see him get a long term contract extension, but he is likely to become a cancer in the locker room if he doesn’t. This is not a good situation that is developing.

I did not want to go there, but I am a member of the Army Reserves(22 years). I think about these young soldiers who are risking their lives for less than $20,000 a year…While our Mr. Coles is doing what he enjoys for six million a year ($’s per Foxsports) and that is not enough for him. He needs to put his priorities in prospective. He might be getting thumped, but he not being shot at on a daily basis. Come to work and feel lucky that you have the priveledge to earn this big salary.
