Veteran Jets guard Pete Kendall will attend next week's mandatory veteran minicamp but won't be a happy camper, said his agent, Neil Schwartz. Kendall has boycotted the team's off-season program because he feels he's underpaid ($1.7 million base salary in 2007) and wants a new contract.

Pete you've been good, but your not worth being overpaid like hutchinson, dockery, steinbach and the rest of the GUARDS.

Pete Kendall is a one-man press conference - definitely not the prima donna crap you want at guard. If the Broncos had an o-lineman like this the hogs there would hit him with their informal fines so much he'd have to hold out for money just to buy gas. I completely support the public attention to the critical offensive line positions that has been so slow in coming over the decades, including the big money. However, it's not like the lay of the land has changed that much since he signed this deal. If he was in the fifth of seven years or something that would be one thing, but he entered this contract around the same time as that silly Hutchinson deal went down, like a year and half ago. I believe this is just Press-conference Pete, a me-first guy, trying to force his way out of the Jets' new team-first culture. Remember, he was sent packing from Arizona by Dennis Green for this type of crap years ago before getting scooped up by Herm "Whatever You Say, Guys" Edwards.
