The Facts:
The Jets, who clearly no longer want Herman Edwards to remain as coach, at one point Thursday imposed a 6 p.m. deadline for completing the compensation agreement with Kansas City officials. The Jets were prepared, if the deadline passed, to announce that Edwards had requested to be released from his contract. But just before the deadline, discussions resumed with the Chiefs, and the two franchises were again trying to find a middle ground on compensation.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The mind-set inside the Jets complex, one team source told ESPN.com insider Len Pasquarelli, is that if Edwards doesn't want to stick around, then it's better that he leave. That jibes with other reports. ... One way or another, it appears, Edwards will not be back. If a deal with the Chiefs can't be struck, the Jets may be forced to fire Edwards.
