FOXSports.com has learned that the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets have agreed on compensation for Herm Edwards with the Chiefs surrendering a fourth-round pick in this year's draft. As a result, the Chiefs and Edwards' agents are right now hammering out a contract to make Edwards Kansas City's new head coach. Working out a contract appears to be the final hurdle in closing the book on this dramahttp://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5225998
How is that a slap in the face? They were the idiots who gave us a pick for somebody we were going to fire anyway.

But he's a horrible game manager, bad to the point were I firmly believe the Jets might have been a Super Bowl team had it not been for his ineptitude. Edwards is the worst kind of NFL coach: someone who's committed to not losing, rather than winning. To call him conservative would be an insult to Bill Bennett. You can play small ball if you're Parcells, and you have a defense that can confidently handle the pressures of constantly maintaining a slim margin of victory. But Herm never had L.T., Carl Banks, Willie McGinest or Ty Law...well, at least the Ty Law who didn't look completely overmatched on most plays. And he sure as hell never had Bill Belichick organizing his defense. Playing the kind of football Edwards played was never going to work on a game-by-game basis, and especially in the postseason.</div>
I don't think it was a bad move for the Jets. At least they get something in return for someone they were going to fire anyway. A fourth rounder can sometimes be a solid lineman (either side of the ball).
