I don't know what the Jets think of me.

The Jets may have been thinking 49ers-type offense when the season began, but have had to face the reality of players on a different level.

Suddenly, the Jets are thinking of themselves in the bigger picture.

The Jets are trying to get their payroll under control and simply don't think they can afford to keep the receiver.

By Friday, the Jets thought he was ready to go.

That's what the Jets thought in 1980, the last time they had the second choice in the first round.

Pennington and the Jets think his breakthrough came last spring.

The Jets think White will play better at 305 pounds, his playing weight last season.

He knows, of course, what the Jets had thought of him.

But even if both were here, the Jets think it's time for a change at quarterback.
