As promised, the cuts have continued all Wednesday afternoon.  The most surprising was Laveranues Coles of the Jets.  Coles made the risky decision to pass up a $6 million guaranteed salary to hit the free agent market.  The Jets may quietly be thankful.  After all, they could have kept him if they truly wanted to. 

Coles and his agent are betting he can make more than $6 million elsewhere in 2009.  Considering Jerry Porter got a $10 million signing bonus as a free agent last year, it's a reasonable bet.  Coles joins a lame batch of available wideouts; only T.J. Houshmandzadeh is clearly better.   But my guess is that Coles will receive less interest than he expects.  Coles may not see much more than $10 million over the next two years, but he can help a team win now as a second receiver.  There aren't many guys like that out there.

The Jets now have a huge amount of free agent dollars to spend.  They could re-invest at wide receiver, but they  have youngsters Chansi Stuckey and David Clowney ready to step into bigger roles behind Jerricho Cotchery.  Stuckey immediatley becomes a fantasy sleeper for next year, and Clowney is someone to watch closely. Tight end Dustin Keller is essentially another wideout.  This isn't a game-breaking unit, but you can win with it.  Now all they need is a quarterback.
