truth on hold Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks like his bloated contract keeps him in jets green another year ...... New Jets general manager John Idzik basically confirmed what everyone suspected this morning – quarterback Mark Sanchez will most likely remain a Jet in 2013. "I feel comfortable with Mark being a Jet," Idzik said on WFAN. "I told him we're going to add competition and everyone should be up for it. It's going to make Mark, and everybody else, better." The Jets were expected to hold onto Sanchez despite his disappointing 2012 season because of his contract. He has a $12.8 million salary cap number that makes him impossible to trade and if they release him it's even worse. http://m.nypost.com/f/mobile/blogs/jetsblog/new_gm_dzik_comfortable_with_sanchez_AQFKbryZtOwQSlFxiuOSMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 That's awesome. Couldn't have happened to a better organization. What's going to be really difficult for them to manage is how much the fans have turned on Sanchez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Heard Archie Manning (fwiw) saying today that the "Jets have a franchise QB with Mark Sanchez". I don't get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 the thought of beginning next season with fitz as the starter is a lot like me being single - anytime i feel lonely i just have to think about life with the ex wife and that feeling completely vanishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Idzik resigned himself to spewing rhetoric like this when he agreed to become the Jets GM. I'm sure Woody told him before he was hired in no uncertain terms that they are going to hold onto Sanchez for at least one more season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he has a tattoo of Sanchez's Jersey too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a clear example of why the rookie salary system needed to change. The Fitz situation seems small in comparison to Sanchez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 That's awesome. Couldn't have happened to a better organization. Don't look now, but the Bills are in a similar situation with Fitz. The only difference is that Sanchez has shown he can win games, at least under certain circumstances. He certainly carved up Buddy's defense the first week of the season.

eball Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I'm comfortable with Sanchez staying on the Jets as well. Don't look now, but the Bills are in a similar situation with Fitz. The only difference is that Sanchez has shown he can win games, at least under certain circumstances. He certainly carved up Buddy's defense the first week of the season. Nice spin. I think we all know it was Wannstedt's vanilla defense; let's see what Pettine does with those players Buddy acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
