“I think it's neat that a lot of us who came in at the same time are still here. The things that I've seen them do, Curtis and other guys in this locker room, over the last eight years are things to be remembered.”
“He didn't say I'm going to be here, but he never said I'm not going to be here. It was his normal approach: 'He's the coach, this is what we expect out of you guys.' There's no reason to believe that he wouldn't be.”
“It's tough to deal with, knowing what Chad went through last year, and just fighting to get back to where he could play again this year, ... I just spoke with him a little while ago and he's a little down in the dumps right now. From the friend standpoint, you have to feel bad for the guy, from a team standpoint we just have to move on with the guy that comes in there. Brooks Bollinger is going to do a great job and maybe he'll provide the spark for us that we need on offense.”

“I think it's playing out exactly like we thought it would. We said as a union that in order for free agency to go off without a hitch, the owners would have to figure out how to divide up the revenue. It's not necessarily the percentage that we're asking but how they spread the wealth.”
“I've been here for eight years and I'm going into my 13th season. There's nothing I'd have liked better than to retire as a Jet. But the reality is, they released me. My goal now is not to break the bank. I did that twice already with my original contract and a restructuring. It's about winning a championship, and from this point forward, I'm going to go to the team that gives me the best chance to win a Super Bowl.”
“We never talked about my contract. He said he wants smart players willing to do the little things the right way. I thought I would be one of those guys, but I didn't fit in their plans.”
