Say this much for Laveranues Coles: Since coming to the Jets as a third-round pick in 2000, the guy has been a warrior, playing through sprained ankles, sore knees and concussions. But in the end, Coles had become too much of a pain in the neck for the Jets.
For all the tough catches Coles made over the middle, it was his obsessive preoccupation with his contract that prompted the Jets to part ways with him yesterday. There's still a chance he'll consider returning, especially if he can't find a suitable deal on the free-agent market. But the more likely scenario is that the Jets are done with the 31-year-old receiver.
As well they should be.
