JETS PLAYER: WHY’D THEY GET RID OF CHAD?

Brett Favre’s days with the Jets are done. But that didn’t stop an unnamed player from questioning why New York brought him on board and let Chad Pennington go in the first place. “Why did they get rid of Chad in the first place?” the player asked Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News. “Eric [Mangini] treated him like a first-year quarterback from Day 1. It was a bad decision from top to bottom, from beginning to end. Now we’re paying for it. We put ourselves in this situation.” Meanwhile, rumors are swirling about who the Jets will pick as Favre’s replacement. According to Cimini, if Marc Bulger were to become available, the Jets would have interest.
