From the Desk of Jerry Angelo
Mr. Jones,
Thank you for your work ethic. Thank you for the best three years of your seven year career. Thank you for your intensity, your passion for the game, and for your commitment to winning.
But in spite of all these wonderful attributes, I regret to inform you we have fulfilled your trade request. You will now be a member of the New York Jets.
Yes, the Jets. The Chad Pennington-Kellen Clemens-Patrick Ramsey Jets. The Eric Man-gina Jets. The 10-6 Jets. The Tom Brady makes you his bitch Jets.
It is unfortunate we could not come to some understanding after a Super Bowl Season. Evidently you were unhappy about our wish to move in another direction as a team, namely the Cedric Benson direction. And I know that decision may look like a foolish one from the outside, for someone not within the inner-circle who doesn’t know the grand plan for the Chicago Bears, but I guarantee it is the right move. Cedric, a #4 pick overall in the 2005 Draft, may have held out his rookie season, been plagued by injuries since he entered the league, and has been dubbed a “me” guy, but I know he’s a good fit for this organization.
Not to mention the fact that we’re simply too tight on money around here to give you what you want after your contract expires next season, especially when we’ve got ‘Ced locked up until 2010.
In closing, I would again like to thank you for your contributions to this team during your three years here. Hell, if we had a real quarterback I’d like to think we may have even won it all last season. Oh well, like the North-Siders say, “there’s always next year.”
Enjoy New Jersey, the land of garbage dumps and Tony Soprano.
Sincerely,
Jerry Angelo
