Cleo Lemon knew Marty Schottenheimer loved his work ethic and upside.
But he didn't know how much until he was traded away from San Diego.
And he really didn't know that he was part of the feud between Schottenheimer and AJ Smith until after the fact.
"I didn't realize that until after it was all said and done. I actually found out about the trade by watching television. The organization didn't tell me. Then Marty called me into his office. Marty told me how upset he was. You never know because it is a business. But what I got from the meeting was that his feelings towards me were really genuine and I was a quarterback that he really wanted to keep around. He was visibly upset with the trade. I didn't know the extent at the time. Then I made the transition to Miami and then the issues, the communication issues between Marty and A.J. came out."
Speaking of the Dolphins, there is no way the Jets trade guard Pete Kendall within the division. Kendall is a great player and locker room presence. He tutored Nick Mangold brilliantly last year.
