Mark Sanchez will have competition for the New York Jets' starting quarterback job next preseason, new general manager John Idzik confirmed Monday. According to The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger, the team has discussed at least one out-of-the-box candidate: former Oakland Raiders starter JaMarcus Russell. The Star-Ledger report said that members of the Jets' organization had very exploratory, informal discussions about Russell after former GM Mike Tannenbaum was fired this month. Idzik was hired last week. It is not known whether the talks have progressed. Source: Sporting News
Just put Russell, Sanchez and Tebow in an eating contest or in the Sumo ring and let the winner start. Makes more sense than anything Rex has come up with.
They would get him for pennies and would probably make for a helluva special teams unit with Tebow and Russell in there protecting the punter.
Re: Jets Toying With Idea Of Signing QB JaMarcus Russell To Compete With Mark Sanchez The jets are such a joke they'd probably ask her to play some nickel.
