Rex Ryan points out how this is John Idzik’s version of trimming the fat.

Everyone knows the Jets can’t cut the one guy who deserves to be cut – Sanchez – after the extension Wrecks and Tannenbaum gave him in an effort to boost his confidence.

Of course right after that they brought in another QB to undermine his confidence – Tebow – who they never let play.

So since they’re paying his salary one way or another, they’re hoping Sanchez now responds to even more pressure and performs.

Maybe Wrecks will try to help by guaranteeing that Sanchez will win yet another Super Bowl?

As a Patriot fan I’m feeling like I should buy a Jet PSL to show my appreciation for the entertainment value Woody and company have provided (so long as they extend Wrecks’ contract next!)

Wasn’t Eric Smith the safety that broke Anquan Boldin’s face a couple of years ago? Didn’t know he was still even in the NFL.

For all those that don’t have a clue: Sanchez would count 17+ Million against the 13 cap if cut or traded before June. If the Jets keep him he will only count 12+ Million. DO the math…It’s cheaper to keep her, I mean him.

But they are keeping Sanchez?

And all this time I thought Tannebaum had been fired.

Malachio. Exactly, and his poor play counts against the Jets record. They need to show some gusto, cut him and then find a rookie, or anyone else who hasn’t proven they suck.

Tommy, you clearly haven’t watched the Jets play the last 2 seasons. Scott is ok at the point of attack, but has limited mobility to get to the outside in pursuit, and can’t cover a TE to save his life. He’s also not much of a locker room guy.

With Harris not being able to cover TE’s or RB’s out of the backfield, the Jets need to get younger and more athletic at the position. Its why they drafted Davis last season.

Handwriting was on the wall for Scott before the season ever began. He’d have been expensive to cut, wouldn’t take a pay cut, and it cost the Jets literally nothing to cut him here this offseason, while giving them decent cap savings (like 4-5 mil)

Buffalo has not done anything to deserve Bart Scott. He’s way more talk than walk at this point in his career.

Bart Scott is a lot better than people realize. His job isn’t of the glory variety.

Too bad some people have no clue, including most of the NY beat writers.

Giants fan here…so no, not a homer.
