CHAOTIC OFF-SEASON FOR THE JETS

The Jets in this off-season be facing yet another crucial decision in what will be considered as a critical off-season for general manager Terry Bradway. Moreover, Herman Edwards, who has two years remaining on his deal, is all set to go to Kansas City, or another NFL Team or the college ranks. It's sure to be a tumultuous off-season. Despite Edwards 2-7 record this season, Edwards is still considered to be the best thing that has happened to the Jets since Bill Parcells got here in 1997. Parcells improved the football talent of the team but scrammed before cleaning up the rest of this backward organization. The misfortune has become the team’s forte. But this season's misfortune has not erased Edwards' accomplishments - three playoff appearances in four years, something no Jets coach had ever done. He has done more than any coach in this team's history to inculcate respectability and class. It's hard to imagine the Jets wouldn't let him go. Even the buzz of the Kansas City is Edwards and not Chiefs assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Al Saunders. One problem in the Chiefs' set-up is that the team gave up a first-round pick to the Rams to get Vermeil in 2001 and now may be unwilling to give up another first-round pick for another coach. The Jets are in a great need of a quarterback, running back, fullback, right tackle, guard or center and maybe a tight end and if Edwards leaves the team, the Jets may decide to get on a transformation plan with any additional picks they would get in exchange for Edwards and do whatsoever is needed to draft USC quarterback Matt Leinart.
