Bradway out as Jets GM
Tannenbaum will take over as Bradway's five-year reign ends FROM STAFF REPORTS
February 7, 2006, 1:38 PM EST
The Jets are expected to announce this afternoon that they have reassigned general manager Terry Bradway and replaced him with assistant GM Mike Tannenbaum.
The management change, which will come at a 3 p.m. news conference, ends Bradway's five-year run as the Jets general manager. It is expected that he will be reassigned with the organization, possibly as a scout
Tannenbaum, a New York native, will take over after nine years in the Jets organization serving as a director of player personnel and senior vice president, among other responsibilities.
During his tenure as senior VP of football operations and assistant general manager, Tannenbaum was responsible for overseeing the team's pro personnel department, professional scouting, and contract negotiations. He was also helped managed the team's salary cap.
Prior to joining the Jets in 1997, Tannenbaum spent two seasons in the NFL as a player personnel assistant. He lives on Long Island Lawn Guyland with his wife and daughter.

IMO Jets are gonna lose someone. The organization has made it seem like they could re-sign everyone but I don't see it.Curtis and Chad's injury are regrettably the easiest money saving cuts I'd guess. If that were to happen(or Curtis and Mawae or Chad and Mawae etc) that would be a HUGE blow to the organization in leadership and intangibles.
they have a bunch of good players, don't ya think?the right GM could make them competitive in 2006 no prob.
Not really. I don't have the exact numbers but, Chad's contract is going to sting for a little while - I think they are on the hook for at least 12 million Guaranteed.I can't really see him being in their plans -Other than sticking around long enough to Free his contract $$$ the easiest way... They just hired an OC who says he doesn't like to Dink and Dunk and doesn't like the WCo - So, Where does that leave Chad? It's his 6th year and like 5th new offense, this one being the worst possible for his "Strengths".... A 100% health Chad might have trouble winning the job in this system.
Abe would be the DE to go.... And I think Mangini may want to mold his defense without being hitched up to a Top Salaried DE with an injury history who also isn't the best fit to play a 3-4..... This way he can spend that money as he sees fit.Also that Defense played pretty well last year. Won a playoff game on the road in SD and took Pittsburgh to the brink all relying heavily on Defense and all without Abe.
in today's NFL you may need a lawyer/accountant to figure out the contracts and salary cap ins and outsI don't care about the ages as long as they've done well at their previous job. Mangini was a fine DC and positional coach. Marvin Lewis, BB and countless others were too. Who care what age they were.
it's not cut and dry IMO.No defensive minded coach is going to NOT want a guy with Abe's talent. No one wanting to fit under a cap is going to want him to have a huge contract. Unlike other players mentioned recently IMO Abe is good enough to switch a D around so you can unleash him.
I heard this as well on the ride home. Tannenbaum really didn't say much, but the questions being asked were not questions he could answer truthfully. (pennington's future, mangini hiring). The thing that cracked me up were the whiners calling in on the FAN and ESPN radio about how young they all are, how tannenbaum isn't a football guy, but an accountant/lawyer and how Woody Johnson (owner) is too secretive.
As a dolphin fan, I think this is what concerns me the most. The Jets will be getting younger, but perhaps they will also get smarter in teh way they handle things. If I was the GM of the dolphins, no way I trade for AJ feeley when both Volek and Schaulb were FAs the same year. It is better to get a slightly less talented player (assuming the grades had AJ> Volek) than a slightly better one and give up a draft pick. Older GMs don't think this way. These new guys might.
HUH????WHY do people think that if someone is Unhappy with the Management team in place, then they BETTER be happy with whoever the hell their replacements are...And THAT"S what they asked for.The people who Hate GW Bush - If Jeb Bush wins the next election are they shackled to now Having to be happy "THEY BETTER BE HAPPY, THEY HATED THE LAST GUY"What kind of reasoning is that?And who's to even say it's the same people?I didn't like Bradway's hire and I didnt like the way he went about building this team in 2001 as well a few assistant hires...At this point I have every right to question whatever the new Front office does - And there is a concern about Shottenhiemers experience at OC...Hey - If they Cleaned house and came back and gave us Ron Wolf and Bill Parcells, I just might agree with you but... I don't get it. We can also evaluate how they work the draft...It's a new Front office - they get graded by the fans and media with little bearing on what the last guys did. There's also still the concerns over the owner and what his intentions were in buying this team and if he was mostly in it for a NYC stadium - That didn't just go away.People have no reason to just be happy with.. Change just for the sake of Change..... We want to see actual Improvements and will evaluate every move as we see fit and as fans and the media do.
True. He just repeated his stock line: We're going to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week to get this organization the best players for the team." They kind of reminded me of prosecuting attorneys: they'd make all of their (sometimes long-winded) points about youth, lack of experience, the football guy (mangini) getting last say over the finance guy...and then add "Isn't that right?" or "You could understand how people would think that, right?" to make it into an interview question.
He also was the dude most in charge of their salary cap - Jets fans can read into that one whatever they want.
