Could be the Jets covering themselves as it relates to garenteed monies?
Could be, I read that teams have done this many times since the rule came in a couple of years ago.
Not sure why they couldn't just cut him. Maybe the NFL takes care of their own....we found out something, now it is up to other teams to find it.
At any rate, he is too old in my book. Now that there are questions about a health issue(I agree it could be something very minor) that seals the deal for me. There are several other decent centers out we can target.
