    Here is a good read for everyone:

    Hanging Chad

    Here is the sentence that every Jets fan has waited to read all season: The Jets have benched quarterback Chad Pennington and inserted Kellen Clemens into the starting lineup.


    Now that his days in New York are all but over, will Chad Pennington be reunited with Herm Edwards in Kansas City?

    Now, Pennington has as much chance of starting Sunday vs. Washington as he does of returning to New York next season with his $7.8 million salary cap figure.

    The more intriguing question is where Pennington will end up next season. Let the speculation begin.

    It’s unlikely Pennington will be willing to return to New York knowing that he is not the Jets' quarterback of the future. Instead, Pennington will want to position himself with a team where he has a chance to start –- just like Kurt Warner did first with the New York Giants, then the Arizona Cardinals.

    Pennington is expected to surface on a team that is grooming a young quarterback not yet ready to play. There are two logical possibilities. The most intriguing is the Kansas City Chiefs, where Pennington would be reunited with his former Jets head coach, Herm Edwards.

    The others would be the Minnesota Vikings, a team that already has added former Jets quarterback Brooks Bollinger, and the Carolina Panthers, who recently brought in another former Jets quarterback, Vinny Testaverde.

    But NFL personnel people said Monday they didn’t believe Pennington would fetch much in a trade for the Jets, if anything at all. One person with a firm knowledge of Pennington said he wouldn’t be worth what Miami gave up for quarterback Trent Green –- a conditional fifth-round pick –- because nobody expects that the Jets want to bring back Pennington.

    Yet Pennington still represents an upgrade over some of this league’s starting quarterbacks, so New York might be able to get something in return instead of releasing him outright.

    IN my opinion if its less than a 5th rounder we should keep him.
