Jets Look To Keep Pennington

He was demoted at midseason and spoke openly about the end of this career with the New York Jets, but Chad Pennington may not be done with the organization quite yet according to the New York Daily News. According to the Daily News, the organization is leaning heavily toward retaining Pennington. Pennington is signed through 2011 and, although his 2008 salary ($4.8 million) is steep for a potential backup, the club is prepared to keep him, presumably to battle Kellen Clemens next training camp. Eric Mangini declined Monday to tip his hand on the all-important quarterback decision, except to say he's not ready to anoint Clemens the undisputed starter for 2008, as he did a year ago for Pennington.
