He says at about 10 minutes into his press conference. http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/multimedia/video/2073-1-28-10-gm-mike-tannenbaum-press-conference He doesn't know what the tender will be for Leon or Kellen yet.
Ugh. No clue why. If we give him the lowest possible tender, it's his original draft round. Who the hell is giving up a 2nd rounder for him? I guess a sign and trade is possible, but I'd rather have the ability to sign a free agent when he signs elsewhere.
He explains why in minute 10 and thereafter. He feels Kellen had a "good relationship" with Mark and helped him. This is something I was not aware of. It always seemed to me that Clemens was not contributing very much to Sanchez' development.
I thought he had dreams of being a starter somewhere. Surely he's better than Jamoke Russle let the Raiders have him! C'mon, this guy adds zero value to the Jets. I hate player bashing but this makes no sense at all. Edit: Saw the coaching qualities explanation. Still dubious.
Come on Rams, you know you want to use a 2nd round pick on getting the sure thing in Clemens so you can draft Suh with no regrets! :sad::sad:
This is Tannenbaum "building value" into Kellen Clemens, for when he gets a phone call from some other team offering him an extra bundle of clean towels for the new locker room. We're crazy if we don't get someone dependable for a backup. I hope this decision wasn't made in haste after Mark Sanchez booked a flight to Atlanta to have his knee checked.
Typing this sentence is the only thing keeping me from typing "fuck" eight million times in repetition. I really hope someone gives him an offer sheet.
