Come on. Even Jets fans are better than that.
So, Kelly should've taken the Pats deal and been happy with it.You're better than that, Zeus. The "market" after the end of training camp?

That depends on whether or not Kelly remains a contributor for the Cardinals or breaks down as the season wears on.So, Kelly should've taken the Pats deal and been happy with it.
Well, you made the argument. Go back and read what you wrote.That might make even less sense than Zeus' post.
Kelly talked to the Arizona Cardinals website. Their story was then picked up by the Boston media.Even better, to be dumb enough to then blab to a Boston mediot about his prophetic abilities.

He's right, cutting Kelly to keep Vellano was a horrific move.
for the veteran minimum price of $955,000 this season – more of a bargain than Abraham had been – Kelly has rotated in on 65 percent of the defensive snaps
Cardinals defensive tackle Tommy Kelly admitted earlier this season he asked to be released by the Patriots because he didn't like his playing time as it related to his incentive clauses...Kelly earned a $100,000 signing bonus to do the deal. Kelly would also earn a $955,000 base salary, a $50,000 roster bonus per game played and an additional $645,000 in playing-time incentives that were officially documented as "not likely to be earned," which meant they wouldn't count against the salary cap unless achieved.
So, include the signing bonus and 50k per game roster bonuses, and we pay him 900,000 more than Arizona without any of the 645,000 playing time incentives.
He must be an idiot to think he didn't lose a ton of money here.
