Jets won't make offer to Miles Austin
When Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones released Terrell Owens, he said that the development of Miles Austin was a key factor in his decision.
Austin, who is a restricted free agent, visited with the New York Jets last week. Although he left New Jersey without an offer, it was reported that the Jets were interested in making an offer to Austin.
However, the Jets have decided to not extend an offer to Austin per Rich Cimini of the Daily News.
If the Jets made an offer to Austin, the Cowboys would have had seven days to match the offer sheet. If they didn't, they would have received the Jets' second-round pick as compensation for the loss.
If/when Austin signs his tender offer with the Cowboys, he will earn a guaranteed salary of $1.545 million for 2009.
