I'm not going to respond sarcastically despite my desire to the contrary. To get him to agree to a reduction in salary for this season, Pace had his entire salary guaranteed for 2012. He cannot be cut even if it were merited, which it is not. Westerman's place on the team is safe as well. As far as the Berning talk, it's important to note that the tweet we're all going on stated that he was part of the Jets plan "as of right now". A lot can happen between now and 53.
I don't think Berning makes the 53 man roster over Bellore, Mauga or any other of the LBers aside from maybe Maybin for one minute unless he's been a terror in practice, and I've read/heard nothing to that extent. Based on what I've read, he is slow and a has a limited range. The Jets don't need another slow LB who is an overachiever. He only flashed in one game.
