There's so much in that one little column - keeping in mind that it is a report, not an op-ed piece - that I had to read it twice.Patterson calling Jets out for AWOL lies could be last straw | New York Post
Holocaust.....only the Jets could **** this up
- With just 10 days to go before the Jets’ season opener, the team is dealing with a situation that just keeps getting messier...
- The suspended cornerback blasted the team’s decision-makers...
- Patterson basically called general manager John Idzik and coach Rex Ryan liars...
- “As it relates to my whereabouts and me missing for 48 hours without being seen or heard from me or my representative is completely false,” Patterson said...
- Several of Patterson’s teammates said privately he would not be welcomed back in the locker room, especially after smearing Ryan...
- It would be surprising if the Jets did not cut Patterson now. Even though they are woefully thin at cornerback, how can they tolerate being called liars by one of their players? It also seems impossible Patterson could ever win back the trust of his teammates and coaches...

But on the other hand:
- The Jets may be reluctant to ditch Patterson because they gave him a $1 million signing bonus that may be hard for them to recoup...
- The Patterson mess just adds to the team’s issues at cornerback and makes Idzik’s decision to pass on big-ticket corners in free agency look even worse. The team signed Patterson after letting Antonio Cromartie go, deciding against bringing Darrelle Revis back and failing to land Vontae Davis or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie...
- The Jets had Patterson and Dee Milliner penciled in as their starters for the season. Milliner suffered a high left ankle sprain in training camp...
- After the injuries to Milliner and McDougle, the Jets moved safety Antonio Allen to cornerback, but he sustained a concussion...

Bottom line:
- At the moment, Kyle Wilson, Darrin Walls, Ellis Lankster and LeQuan Lewis are the team’s top healthy and available cornerbacks...
