Well this is certainly an interesting development. Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum said today that he expects Chad Pennington will be back on the team next year and will go up against Kellen Clemens in training camp to compete for the starting quarterback position.
This is strange, to say the least. Why would the Jets organization commit to bringing him back so early in the offseason? Wouldn’t you at least put out some feelers to say if any other teams are willing to make a deal for some much-needed draft picks? Plus, what does that say about how you feel about Kellen Clemens? You went through the rigamarole of benching Chad for him and now you’re going to put both guys AND the team through an unnecessary quarterback competition in training camp?
This doesn’t make any sense. There are a number of teams out there who can benefit from a QB like Pennington (Kansas City, Minnesota, Baltimore, Miami, Detroit, Atlanta, and San Francisco), and it would make sense to see what you can get for him. I repeat, this is strange.
