Very interesting and disturbing news to come out of Jets land today. Take a look at this tweet from beat reporter Rich Cimini:

Latest blow to Jets’ CB situation: Dimitri Patterson has gone AWOL, according to John Idzik. Unexcused absence. Never showed for game. #nyj

According to reports, he is not harmed, but he is not answering messages left for him by the team. Patterson hasn’t been released by the team yet, as it seems they are looking to investigate further.

• NY Jets: Why the team should not cut Jamison Crowder
• NY Jets should try to sign Kenny Golladay in free agency
• NY Jets: Jonnu Smith would be a smart free-agent target
• NY Jets expected to be ‘much more aggressive’ in free agency this year
• NY Jets: Patriots will not use the franchise tag on Joe Thuney

I actually believe that is the right move here. We don’t know for sure, at this point, that Patterson is doing something inappropriate. If he is, then John Idzik and company would be best to give him his walking papers.

But, something else could be going on here, and the Jets should do their due diligence to find out what happened, before jumping to any conclusions.

Sad to say, it could be anything, we don’t really know.
