It's not often that someone rejects a contract extension from a lucrative business, but Jets defensive coordinator Mike Pettine might have a hint of what is to come in the tea leaves for the New York Jets once the season concludes December 30 in Buffalo.
Pettine rejected a contract extension from the Jets, according to sources who spoke with the mainstream press (NY Post, Daily News), and will be a "free agent" once the season ends. This is an incredible revelation.
It's not like Pettine was in danger of getting fired. His unit was, again, one of the best in the NFL, ranked 2nd in pass defense without the services of all pro Darrelle Revis all season.
With Pettine heading for the door, it comes across that he is trying to seperate himself from the circus that is the Green and White, and wants to establish his name with a more reputable football team -- maybe even increase his chances for a head coaching job one day.
With Pettine gone, Ryan will have to find another person to call the plays next year for defense, that is if Ryan survives when the season is over.
