The Miami Dolphins have contacted the New York Jets about the availability of guard Pete Kendall, whom the Jets were trying to trade before the draft. However, New York preferred not to trade Kendall to a team within the AFC East.

Kendall and agent Neil Schwartz have been trying to renegotiate his contract with the Jets, hoping for a raise of approximately $1 million. Kendall, who has three years remaining on his Jets deal after restructuring it a year ago, is scheduled to earn $1.7 million this year.

Kendall has been unhappy with his contract since seeing the sharp rise in free-agent deals for interior linemen this offseason. Among the guards who will earn more than $6 million after signing new contracts are Kris Dielman with San Diego, Derrick Dockery with Buffalo and Eric Steinbach with Cleveland.

The Jets may actually end up cutting him outright. Word is that Joe Andruzzi wants to play for the Jets (he is form New York), and that would trigger New York to release Kendall.

Trading for him would guarentee him to us, but I would rather not give draft picks to the Jets if we can help it.
 
Not a good sign.. Why are we looking at a cheap Jets guard (who they are trying to get rid of) when we have so many guards at camp ?? We have 8 guards for 2 positions.. Are we that bad that we are desperate for Kendall ??

If we can upgrade then i dont care how many Guards we have got. I know though we need help at LT but we wont see that until next FA/Draft.
 
I didnt like what I saw on that Jets site, here's a quote from one-

"Kendall was really poor at the start of the season,routinely missing blocks and he can be bull rushed." -- Jets Fan.

And Andruzzi sucks.. Go to the Cleveland board on ff.com .. They are throwing a party now that he's gone.. They are saying he was a big reason why they were 29th in passoffense and 31st in rushing offense last season.. No thanks.. I am sick of these retreads from other teams..

Yeah but Andruzzi and Kendall are not upgrades.. That's the main problem.. Read the reasons why in my last post..
 
For what? I actually believe we're pretty set at guard.

It's the tackle posistion I'm concerend with..

Couldn't agree with ya at all. Heck, take one of the young guys we got for the D, and swap him to the other side of the ball. Doesn't seem like Cam is afraid to make changes.

That's all we need to know.. Hadnot started last season. Satele is another guy for the middle 3 positions.. We drafted him high so lets see him perform.. So we can't find one more guy out of the remaining 7 to play the other spot ??
 
need more than 5 offensive linemen in this day in age, your second unit gets pretty important down the stretch. its nice to have quantity
