MULLIGAN GONE!

No Mulligan for Mulligan!!!

3:11 mPM ET


By Dick Semen-i

The Jets are ready to say goodbye to oft-penalized TE Matthew Mulligan, a restricted free agent. The team isn't planning to extend a qualifying offer, according to a league source, meaning he will become an unrestricted free agent.

It would cost the Jets about $1.3 million to tender Mulligan, a move that would give them the right of first refusal, but they're not willing to pay that much for a No. 2 tight end. They could always re-sign him at a later date for a lower salary.

Mulligan started nine games last season and ended up playing roughly 40 percent of the offensive snaps, driving everyone crazy with his penchant for penalties. He was penalized nine times for 64 yards, the second-most on the team. Only RT Wayne Hunter was flagged more often than Mulligan. What made Mulligan's miscues so maddening is that six penalties were of the pre-snap variety. He was used primarily as a blocker, finishing with only five receptions.

Great move.

Now draft or sign a starting RT and move Hunter back to his role of 6th OL in jumbo packages where he excelled in 2009 and 2010. :yes:

PRAISE THE LORD!

This guy might have cost us the 2 games we needed to get into the playoffs & I'm being totally serious.
Between him & Hunter either with bad blocks or putting the Jets offense in 3rd & longs, these 2 guys effed us.

maybe but I think we can find a more efficient blocking TE. And I think Cumberland is our #2 next year.

What?

No article about how the Jets should keep Mulligan b.c the market for backup TEs is bad and he is relatively cheap?
