The New York Post reports that Jets pass-catcher Laveranues Coles is miffed at the treatment he's receiving from the team.
"I spoke to an owner last night," Coles said, "and he seems like he's very adamant about being able to make a move the Jets wouldn't match, and would I be willing to consider leaving the Jets?"
So what did Coles say in response?
"If it means me getting my money, that's what I have to do."
Coles wouldn't name the owner. Whoever it is, the team would be required to cough up a first-round draft pick, if the Jets choose not to match any offer that the restricted free agent accepts.
The Jets have offered Coles a $6 million signing bonus on a seven-year deal, which according to Coles averages "a little bit over" $3 million per year. He doesn't think that's enough.
"I was looking for at least $10 [million]-plus," Coles told the Post.
Hmmmm... Wahington maybe??? That would be funny, Atlanta is Buffalo South, and Washington is New York South!!
