FINS WANT CHAD
Posted by Mike Florio on August 7, 2008, 12:43 p.m.

To little surprise, the guy who was running the show in New York when Chad Pennington was drafted is now interested in bringing Pennington to his current place of employment.

Per the Palm Beach Post, the Dolphins and V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells have reached out to Pennington’s agent, Tom Condon. Parcells was the Jets’ G.M. in 2000, when Pennington was one of four first-round draft picks.

Of course, because Pennington hasn’t been released, any such communications would constitute tampering, unless the Jets have given Pennington permission to talk to other teams.

Even if Pennington hasn’t gotten such permission, Jets G.M. Mike Tannenbaum likely wouldn’t blow the whistle on Parcells, who has been Tannenbaum’s mentor and confidant. Such an overt act of ingratitude would be as outlandish as, say, coach Eric Mangini tattling on his own mentor, Bill Belichick.

Oh, wait. Never mind.

This makes sense.

They won't keep 4 QBs. If they plan to move McCown I'd like us to give him a look as a #2.

If they're bringing in Quincy Carter for a look, you have to think Chad Pennington is a no-brainer. As sad as it is, he would probably immediately become the best QB the Fins have had since Marino retired. He's a fiery guy and a good leader, so he would be a good fit on a young team.

I bet John Beck will be released. Parcells flat out does not care for that kid.

Bill trusts him and can install him as QB while Beck and Henne develop. I know he didn't pick Beck but I'd be shocked if he let him go unless someone ponied up a 4th or better.

I'll take Beck. Surprised that the guy who like Romo wouldn't like Beck. They seem similar to me. Give Beck more years on the bench.

I still can't see an outright release.

I would too. I was real high on him in that Draft. However, Parcells supposedly just can't stand him. Dallas was the only team that did not interview Beck. Parcells will hang on to Henne.

Beck is a goner. If he isn't I'll be shocked.

I would pick up Beck so fast, it would make even your Dark Blue, White and Tan, head spin.

Since there is clear interest in the guy, the Jets should just trade him instead of release him.

Parcells and Tannenbaum go way back. Maybe they're talking about doing a deal.

I'm rooting for Parcells to get him. I don't care who they get rid of, Beck or McCown, I'd take either over Simms as the 3rd QB and eventual replacement for Brad.

It would seem to me this lowers the value of a Chris Simms. Those teams who feel they need a QB are better off going after Pennington then Simms.

I bet they get rid of McCown. He was supposed to be the stable vet to play this year as the two young guys cut their teeth, and he's supposedly looked worse than the young guys in camp.
