I don’t know if he would handle it well,” Tomlinson said yesterday on the NFL Network, according to USA Today. “I think he would probably go in and maybe ask to be released. Here is Mark Sanchez’s gripe: ‘I took you guys to two straight AFC Championship Games. Yeah, I didn’t get it done last year, but my first and second year, I took you to two AFC Championship Games. How can you turn around and just bring in another quarterback right now?’”

I think he is right, Mark Sanchez is not fit to backup an elite QB like Pyeton, he should be a backup for Dan Orlovsky

Ask for release? That's like saying "I quit" just before your boss says "you're fired."

We should totally bring him in if he's released...as a receiver

Can you ask for your release after you have been placed on waivers? The only way the Jets could afford to sign Manning is if they cut or trade Sanchez.

His contract would dictate the decision. He makes a ridiculous amount of money so they wouldn't be able to pay him that money as a backup UNLESS the cap hit is so ridiculous they would have to keep him on the roster. I think the latter is the case which is why getting Manning isn't a viable option.

Does little marky actually think he should actually start ahead of peyton manning?

No worries for Sanchez lovers in NY about losing the Sanchise

The NY Jets simply don't have the monetary ammo to sign Manning even if they wanted to,they can barely afford signing Chad Henne who they probably will go after once the Dolphins release him.

The NY Jets are like the obnoxious kid that has to be loud and noticed because otherwise he gets no attention....NY has no intent from the beginning of sitting Mark and signing Peyton but put themselves in the running because they just want to be a part of the show.

Even if this B.S. was true,in order for NY to even think about Peyton,they would have to restructure contracts all over the place and let some good players go....that would be dumb considering this is a 36 year old QB coming off a major injury and a year away from the game.

That's why I'm rooting for them to do it. I hope they give him a contract with, like $60M guaranteed.

I think most of us here would want Manning to go to NY as well

While his presence could possibly vault the NY Jets to a Division title,one hit from the blindside could also vault Peyton into retirement.

Not to mention even if the Jets had a super year with Peyton,they would be sacrificing the cap into the next 5 years with a QB that would likely be reaching 40 before his new contract is up.

Rex Ryan is a complete buffoon but I don't think he is THAT dumb.

The Jets should ride the tide with Sanchez and Henne as backup in 2012 and focus on drafting Barkeley in 2013
