ReutersNo one is surprised by the Jets’ decision to demote right tackle Wayne Hunter. Especially not right tackle Wayne Hunter.
Hunter said Thursday that the news wasn’t really news to him.
“I wasn’t surprised,” he said, via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. “Everyone knows. The whole NYC knows I was struggling. I was waiting for it, to be honest.”
Hunter realizes that the Jets could no longer wait for him to step it up.
“They got to make moves now,” Hunter said. “The Bills are around the corner.”
Some may say there’s a connection between Hunter’s nonchalance about getting benched and his nonchalance about getting beaten on the field.

Great attitude, I wish I could get demoted and still pull in 6-8 figures of cash.
Translation:
“I’m not good at what I do, and somehow these twips locked me in to good guaranteed money. I’ll still get paid even though I’ll mostly sit around. Life is sweet, huh?”
Maybe his attitude is part of the problem in respect to how he has been playing. You were expecting to get benched? COME ONNN
Send him to Bill Belicreat.. We’ll be sucking Brady.
Shame on Rex for not putting him out of his own misery. More importantly shame on him for not putting us out of our own misery.
Good decision not to replace him in the offseason.
Glad Rex is taking a more active role in the O. Real solid operation they have there.
That sound you just heard was his agent having a coronary. Way to completely kill any future value you may have to the Jets or any organization, Wayne.
He was never more than average at best.In his defense,however,the jets need to realize that even a solid starting tackle is gonna look bad when your quarterback needs 6 or 7 seconds to get through his progression reads.Poor quarterbacking always leads to poor offensive line play….
He was bad out there, kinda tough to hide a man that size. Not only NY area but, everyone seen him struggle. Will Rex cut him?
He could be saying this so that the Jets get rid of him. He could then say that the atmosphere was so bad that he couldn’t take it anymore.
Then he might get some consideration from the other teams.
The man clearly saw how badly he was playing and is handling this like a Pro! He was better as a backup and situational lineman.
Mario is still lining up over whoever the rt is feel bad for sanchez
“Some may say there’s a connection between Hunter’s nonchalance about getting benched and his nonchalance about getting beaten on the field.”
Some may. But it is also entirely possible that, as a professional offensive lineman who’s been around for a while, he understands that you can’t get pushed around the field for a full season and half of the next preseason and expect to keep your job. He could whine about it, but then what would your article say?
seems like the guy from hard knocks who realized he wasn’t up to par and retired. only Wayne took a back up role.
