Sorry, did not format correctly... he is tied for the 20th best guard ahead of Dock according to Scouts Inc rankings for 2007. Put as much stock as you want into that. Troy Aikman could not stop talking about how good a Guard he is and how the Jets would not be stupid enough to get rid of him during the preseason game.

I'd take that. It would definitely shore up the LG issue.

I like the move as long as it is only a 5th rounder. We got a sith for Arch and used it on HB Blades.

Classic. Just classic.

It does raise an interesting point...what if we COULD get Darth Maul on the O-line?

I'm thinking Jabba the Hut at center.

The last I heard the details of the trade have not been officially released. Whispers and rumors floating around have it at #5 in 2008 or a #4 in 2009. Apparently it all hinges on Kendall's playing time, which works in our favor.

Also, does anyone have info on the contract or the physical?

Don't know the details of the contract. He passed the physical.

Everything I've heard says 5th round pick in 2008, unless he plays something like 75% (I think that was the number) of the team's offensive snaps this year in which case it's a 4th rounder pick...but in 2009

November 4th should be interesting to watch as the announcers mention the Kendall trade 724 times each quarter. Throw in half that for the number of times they mention Fabini and Thomas also were on the Jets.

Good move.

Can't wait to see if it happens.


What I don't want us to do is give him a big contract. 2 years or whatever of Kendall is a good price for a 4th round pick.

GTRipp that hs to be the shorest post in your history. LOL

But this move would give us unbelivable depth on our O-line and it would allow Wade to go back to Tackle until Samuels is back to 100 percent.

the sixth we got for arch we used on Jordan Palmer. Our original sixth we got HB blades.

KENDALL SENT TO 'SKINS

A league source tells us that the Jets have sent guard Pete Kendall to the Washington Redskins. It is believed that Washington sent a fourth-round pick to the Jets in exchange.

Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News reported on Thursday that a deal to an unnamed team was close. Our source says that a deal to D.C. is done.

Cimini also reports that Kendall will get, in his new NFL city, the $1 million raise that he craved for the coming year, pushing his salary from $1.7 million to $2.7 million.

It had become increasingly clear that a divorce was needed. Cimini devoted a recent item to Kendall's history of using painkillers to allow himself to play. Though Kendall stopped short of saying that he wouldn't continue to use medications in order to be able to suit up and perform, a source with knowledge of the situation made it clear to us that Kendall would not be using any pain medication if the team didn't adjust his contract.

The root of the problem, as we understand it, is that when Kendall restructured his deal in 2006 at the team's request, the team verbally promised to re-adjust the deal if he performed well. Kendall's perspective was that he fulfilled his end of it, and then the Jets reneged on a commitment that necessarily was unenforceable.

Kendal and the team traded barbs in training camp, with Kendall being relegated to the second team and assigned initially to the rookie dorm. Kendall loudly complained, piping down only when it seemed that the organization was getting ready to suspend him for conduct detrimental to the team.

Last week, the Jets had him play center in a preseason game, a position that he strongly dislikes. There were suspicions that two bad snaps in the game were influenced, consciously or otherwise, by Kendall's unhappiness.

Who has the 411 on Kendall....don't know much.
