Coles Thinks Jets Lied To Him

Wide Receiver Laveranues Coles feels like the New York Jets lied to him about his contract situation.

“They’ve told me for the past two seasons that they would take care of me and now I feel they’re stringing me along,” Coles Said. “I’m not going through this for another year.”

“I don’t want to seem like another greedy player, but I feel I’ve earned the right to know where I’ll finish my career, I’ve done everything this organization has asked me to do and I’m asking them to do this for me. I think I’ve earned that much. I’ve put it all on the line every Sunday for this organization.

“I’ve played hurt. I’ve been a leader in the locker room. I’ve held the team together in bad times. I was an intermediary between management and the players. I sacrificed my numbers for the good of the team. . . . I don’t want to be a disgruntled player. I want to be someplace where I’m happy.”

Coles never gets mentioned with the best at his position but he is a very good receiver and the best one on the Jets roster. I don’t know how much money he’s asking for but the Jets would be wise to give him a long-term deal.
