New York Jets wide receiver Laveranues Coles says he wants a new contract with the team, and he won't show up to the start of the team's off-season conditioning program unless he gets one.

That's the most inflammatory of the statements Coles made in a recent interview, but it's far from the only one:

"I don't want to seem like another greedy player, but I feel I've earned the right to know where I'll finish my career," Coles told The Star-Ledger. "I've done everything this organization has asked me to do and I'm asking them to do this for me. I think I've earned that much. I've put it all on the line every Sunday for this organization.
"They've told me for the past two seasons that they would take care of me and now I feel they're stringing me along. I'm not going through this for another year.
"I've played hurt. I've been a leader in the locker room. I've held the team together in bad times. I was an intermediary between management and the players. I sacrificed my numbers for the good of the team. ... I don't want to be a disgruntled player. I want to be someplace where I'm happy."

Bad news just always seems to find the Jets no matter what.

He's team captain as well, bad PR for a team that has mounds of it each year.
