OnTheRocks Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 This Ben Maller site is great for somewhat up to date NFL news and rumors: NFL Rumors I agree that Edwards is an ok coach. And the Jets were hammered with injuries. But....why with the offense in KC why in the world wouldn't they hire Al Saunders just to make him happy? Did he ask not to be considered????

OnTheRocks Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 now from ESPN: Talks between the Chiefs and Jets over Herm Edwards leaving New York to become the Kansas City coach have stalled, according to league sources. The compensation package that has been on the table involved the Chiefs sending fourth- and fifth-round draft picks to the Jets, perhaps splitting the choices over two years, but Chiefs president Carl Peterson has been reluctant to close a deal, the sources added. Peterson's reluctance, the sources believe, is based on his sense that Edwards is no longer welcomed in New York by Jets owner Woody Johnson, who is reportedly tired over Edwards' status. However, a league source added that Peterson's gamble could cost him because if Edwards is fired, the Chiefs would have competition among other teams who would be interested in the Jets coach. As one other source said, the deal is "always a phone call away." Is Herman that much of a "hot property" ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstel Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I guess after a 4-12 season you're not worth much but a 4th and 5th is not much if you really want a guy and think he's worth it. Split that up over two years and it's nothing. Then again if that's all the Jets are asking it says a lot about how they feel about him.......
