The absolutely did the right thing w. Kendall.

What would giving Kendall a raise done except worsen our cap situation for an aging, average injury prone player..and at MOST 2 more wins last season? I’d love to hear an educated aswer..

The Jets did the right thing w/ Kendall..and they’re doing the right thing w/ Baker now. Those who believe the Kendall situation ruined our season…Ask yourselves this: If an aging, injury prone 34 year old interior lineman made THAT much of a difference to our OL and our entire team’s well being..were we that good to begin w/???

We aren’t the only team in situations like this. this is a league wide thing. Briggs, Urlacher, Shockey, Burress,Graham,Boldin,etc. It’s everywhere.

You have to set a precedent within a franchise that guys can’t pout their way into a raise anytime they feel like it. It’s painful right now..but big picture…this is gonna pay huge dividends. Let Baker pout…he’s only making himself look bad.

Baker will sit and the president will remind him that SOMEBODY IS PLAYING IN HIS SPOT!

The Jets are one of the most valuable franchises in pro sports. Stop feeling bad for Woody.

The owners and fans are one in the same?!?!? We pay Baker’s salary? Give me a break. The value in owning a sports team is in the capital gain, not in the profitability! The value is in buying the franchise for $800 million, taking on cheap debt of $1.3 billion to build the stadium of every owners’ dreams – screwing the fans in the process – then ripping off the NJ taxpayer to get a state of the art practice facility while they foot the bill, and then selling the team for multiples on what you paid for it.

I don’t know how all of you can take it. Last year we went from having a decent offensive line to swiss cheese because of losing Kendall. Woody and the Jets were too damn cheap to give the guy $1 million (a pittance compared to the numbers above), and we the fans get screwed watching a piece of crap 4-12 team with the 25th ranked offense. Now the great Jets want to go forward with Bubba Franks who hasn’t been up to Baker’s caliber since 2002. Oh, wait we just signed Matt Schobel who had 11 catches last year with the Eagles – hold on, you mean that’s AJ Schable who has never played TE in the NFL? Huh?

Give Baker a raise already. Next time a DE runs around the great D’Brick Fergeson at LT and there’s no Baker to pick him up you’ll be screaming that Tannenbaum didn’t restructure his contract.

DSmizzle – Once you’ve parked your expensive car in the president’s spot (after crying poor), you can never be considered a consummate pro again. Consummate Ahole perhaps…

Baker was doomed from the moment he spoke out to reporters about the poor game management last year

how about doing nothing, and seeing how long it takes him to earn 700k in the real world. He can play for the salary he agreed to, or he can sit out the season…..how about that?

he is a good football player, but he isnt that good, and since the jets drafted a te and brought in another one in FA, he isnt exactly irreplaceable……

Shut up and play ball already.
