Chad is Back

Reports this morning are that Chad Pennington has agreed to terms with the Jets. While details were not disclosed, Pennington agreed to a more cap-friendly deal in the neighborhood of 3 million.

Base10 hopes Pennington can come back. He was always thrilling to watch (when he wasn't writhing around on the ground in pain of course) and he should be given every opportunity to reclaim the starter's job. I think it's clear, however, that the Jets have to look to the future and should start looking at long-term prospects at QB. In the best of worlds, a rejuvenated Pennington could help break in a rookie QB. And said rookie would push Pennington to perform.

Unfortunately, the Jets did lose Kevin Mawae. Without Mawae, Pennington may be on his back even more this season.

John Abraham still remains a large question mark. Rumor has it the Jets are looking to shop Abraham and possibly move up in the first round to grab Cutler. This would surely be a bold move, but Base10 thinks they need O-line help right now before they need a new QB. You have to give coach Mangini a chance to shape his own team.

UPDATE: Here's a link to the story.
