Jets say they arent trading Chad Pennington

Written by: Brainiac

According to the New York Daily News, Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum told Chad Pennington’s agent that the team will not trade the QB and that he will compete for the starting job with Kellen Clemens.

"Chad is under contract. I'm happy he is here. Eric (Mangini) is happy he is here and the best player will play. Chad is going to be here this year," Tannenbaum said.

Clemens didn't show enough in his eight starts last year to inspire confidence. For the season, he had five TDs and 10 INTs and a 60.9 QB rating, the lowest of the 33 quarterbacks who qualified for the list.

Pennington's lack of arm strength once again became a huge issue last season. Together, Clemens and Pennington gave the Jets the No. 26 passing offense.

The Jets very well could draft a QB - they even worked out Boston College’s Matt Ryan.
