Damien Woody – Jets go for the smorgasboard

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
The Jets have something in common with the Detroit Lions Damien Woody. Both of them have an insatiable appetite. Only the Jets appetite appears to be for linemen.
Yesterday it was Alan Faneca and today they are after Damien Woody.
Woody, 30, is projected as the starting right tackle, replacing Anthony Clement, but he never played the position until the final five games of last season. Between Woody and left guard Alan Faneca, whose five-year, $40 million contract will be announced today, the Jets have addressed the two weakest positions on their offensive line.
Listed at 6-3, 335, Woody, who made the Pro Bowl in 2002 with the Patriots, has battled a weight problem. source
Granted, sometimes guys just need a change of venue, but Damien got his big fat contract from the Lions and just started getting bigger and fatter until he had to hit the Fat Farm. Supposedly he lost a lot of fat on the farm, but still did not play that well and now is being offered another big fat contract.
So good luck Jets on this one.
It could be a big fat mistake.
