Kellen Clemens said yesterday that he is going to wait to sign his tender. The full story is here. He has until next week to listen to offers from other teams. The Jets backup quarterback knows time is running out if he hopes to start.
"There's no future for me here starting, that's clear," Clemens said. "There's a future for one guy here to star and play and that's Mark [Sanchez], and that's why they drafted him. And he's a very talented quarterback. So I'm not at the point where I'm willing to give up my dream of having a chance to play and start."
He's not the only Jet yet to sign his tender. CB Drew Coleman hasn't signed, but said yesterday that he fully expects to remain a Jet and that his agent and the team are just working out the numbers. (He also called me ma'am, which is very polite but always a little jarring.)
The remaining player who hasn't signed is RB Leon Washington, and given his situation that one might go into overtime.
I tweeted this quote yesterday, but I want to add it here for emphasis. Jets OLB Bryan Thomas had no idea that Dolphins OLB Jason Taylor was visiting the Jets until he saw Taylor walk into the building on Thursday. He looked visibly, not upset, but definitely concerned.
"I just found out about it today so I might go talk to my agent and see what's going on," Thomas said.
Thomas might not have to worry yet, there might be room for both players on the defense.
Lastly, I took a tour of the New Meadowlands Stadium yesterday and wrote this. I can say that Jets fans will not feel like second class citizens here.
