Chad Penington Will Be Cut By New York Jets This Afternoon

Where Should Chad Take His Tired Arm?
by CriticalFanatic
>7 days ago



Yesterday it was Jeff Garcia who admitted to being 'a dead man walking.' Today, it's Chad Pennington who IS the dead man walking. Pro Football Talk confirms what we were expecting, Pennington will be cut this afternoon from the New York Jets.

Not necessarily a big deal, but it's a rude move that New York is waiting until 4 pm to make it official, thus prolonging the official waiver move until tomorrow. Chad and his agent now lose one day of working with other teams on a new deal.

Anyways, Pennington is inevitably going to find a new home with many teams struggling to find a quarterback capable of wining games.

Minnesota Vikings After all the Brett Favre interest, it's clear the Vikings are unsettled at the quarterback position.Tarvaris Jackson is still young and mistake prone. Not that Pennington is anywhere near Favre's talent, but his experience could give Brad Childress another option while Jackson continues to develop. Minnesota can win now if they minimize turnovers.

Chicago Bears Accurate passer in the short to middle range, struggles with the long ball. Chicago already has that in Kyle Orton, but the Bears could use an experienced arm who's at least accomplished a few things in the NFL. Despite that, Lovie Smith won't bother to inquire about Chad, as he remains confident that Kyle or Rexx "is his guy." The stubbornness in Bears camp kills me.

Kansas City Chiefs Herm Edwards is familiar with Pennington, but he remains steadfast in his support of Brodie Croyle to be the man in KC. 

Miami Dolphins We all know how badly Miami needs a QB. John Beck, Chad Henne, nor Josh McCown have shown Tony Sparano anything thus far. I'm not sure who they would move to make room for Pennington, but we know Bill Parcells is comfortable with giving the football to an over the hill quarterback.

Tampa Bay Bucs Why not add another QB and piss Jeff Garcia off even more? We know Gruden will at least inquire about the potential for another boyfriend.

What's the best situation for Chad? What team needs him the most?

Do not be surprised if Chad ends up in New England. Pats are not overly thrilled with Cassell and Pennington would love to be on a team that could stick it to his former team.

I'm going to say Miami.  Parcells waited four years to play Romo, so I'm sure he'll be patient with Henne (too bad Henne isn't anywhere near as good as Romo), so they'll need someone to play until then.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I hope the Chiefs pick him up.  I heard the other day that out of the Chiefs 3 QB choices, that the best option might be Tyler Thigpen.  Now for those of you who have no idea who Tyler Thigpen is....JOIN THE CROWD!!!  He attended Coastal Carolina(Ring a bell?  Yeah, I didnt think so!).  So my advice is for the Chiefs to pick up Pennington and dump Damon Huard.  If nothing else, Pennington is taller than Huard....by 1"!  LOL!

Miami probably needs him the most -- but since Tampa was already looking they might as well continue to piss off Garcia ....

Shoot, I think the Lions or Vikings should pick him up. He's 13-1 when playing in a dome!

But in actuality I would play in Miami if I was him... Who could resist South Beach?
