Mike Tannenbaum has to go. Jets traded away players that they need right now...Brad Smith, Leon Washington, Jericho Cotchery, and cut Danny Woodhead.
I thin Ryan has earned one more year but he better win. With his job on the line, perhaps he will move Sanchez and look to the draft. (Ryan Nassib, Syracuse!!)
I kind of understood when they cut Danny Woodhead, as I recall, it was simply a numbers game for the Jets at the time.
Every team runs into that issue eventually, where they can’t hold on to everyone and they have to let a promising player go.
Wes Welker and Danny Woodhead are two good examples of players who didn’t have combine stats (height, weight, speed, etc) so they had trouble catching on.
I remember when the Patriots got Welker, I thought “Thank God. Now we don’t have to play against him anymore...” He might not have done great against anyone else, but for a couple of years, he made me grit my teeth whenever the Patriots and Dolphins played.
I distinctly remember muttering in a fit of frustration “Jeeez...will SOMEONE take his head off, or something...” He absolutely killed the Pats.
I love having Woodhead on the team...he isn’t Kevin Faulk, but he’s got gumption, and talent. I sure hope they find a way to re-sign him for next year...
