Jets RIP OFF Daniel Snyder... - New England Patriots Forums

Good F-ing LORD, another steal for the jets. Can WE trade someone to the Redskins?

Disgruntled Jets G Pete Kendall has been traded to the Washington Redskins, Head Coach Eric Mangini revealed in a Thursday afternoon press conference. New York is said to be receiving a fourth round pick in 2009, and possibly a fifth round pick as well, in exchange for Kendall.

From the jets insider front page.

Can you believe that?! Holy God. I just don't even know where to begin. Kendall is an angry, older interior lineman with NO versatility and a crappy attitude. A 5th would've been iffy. A 4th AND possibly more? Holy crap.

How is giving up a quality offensive lineman and only getting a fourth round pick a case where the Jets are ripping off the Redskins?

When said "quality" lineman isn't quality. When he has been going downhill for several years, is 35 years old and has had his share of injuries. And when a 4th is a GOOD pick, which it is. Oh - and when he's cornered the jets with an insistence that they re-do his deal or he'll continue being a malcontent. That's how.

And maybe a 5th.

By that token Oakland ripped us off on Randy Moss.

I'd of given a 4th for Kendall the 5th well that was probably cause their was more than 1 team interested in his services.

He's a solid starter in the Stephen Neal category I think Washington has made some nice moves this off season and the Cowboys and Redskins are gonna fight for that division.

I still don't understand why they just didn't give the man his money to start with it wasn't like ASSante's ransom, it was a reasonable request if they promised it, the games the jet's played with him or uncalled for he got a little justice in the preseason, which I don't agree with.

But you better believe the Jets are gonna be exploring trade options and combing the waiver wire for guards, that's why Elgin has to make the 53 we can't afford to have him on a practice squad for MANgina to snatch up.

You can't seriously have over 5000 posts and think that somehow Randy Moss's impact = that of a 35-year old Pete Kendall, can you? Really? Where did I make the argument that one should NEVER deal a 4th rounder for someone? Come on. Be serious.

I don't know what to do when I read stuff like this. Shaking my head, rolling my eyes - it all seems so...not enough. You have GOT to be kidding me. You guys do know that Kendall is a 35-year old with baulky knees who is being beaten out by SCRUBS in jets camp and complaining all the while, don't you?

Newsday's analysis of Kendall from last season:

Quote:

THOSE WHO PROMISED AND DELIVERED

Pete Kendall – With a rookie on each shoulder, the 11-year veteran guard has had to be both professor and protector. The development of D’Brickashaw Ferguson and Mangold can be traced in no small way to Kendall’s tutelage. Oh, he’s also had a pretty decent season himself, rebounding from an early hamstring injury.

They may have gotten more out of the Redskins than Kendall is worth, but the Jets look like they may be risking this season to do it. Their left side of the line are could be in trouble. Ferguson had problems protecting Pennington's blindside with Kendall last year. How well is he going to do lining up next to Adrien Clarke?

As for Kendall's attitude, I don't get where he has had that bad of an attitude. The guy claimed that he had a verbal agreement with the Jets that the Jets renegged. The guy could have sat out, but he came to camp. He could have caused more waves when the Jets "accidentally" put him in the rookie dorms and they demoted him from starting guard to back up center when he is the best guard they had on the roster. If they had no intentions of keeping Kendall, why not either cut him or tell him to stay away from camp until they have a trade. The Jets made a concerted effort to humiliate Kendall.

I can see this as a lose-lose or a win-win for the Jets and Washington as much I can see it as the Jets stealing from the Redskins. If Pennington is on the IR by week three or passing for 20 INTs because Ferguson and Clarke can't stop the rush, how did the Jets win in this case?
