The Facts:
Barring an 11th-hour snag in negotiations, the Jets will announce today that Pennington has restructured his contract and will remain with the team, a person close to the negotiations has indicated. The announcement will beat the 6 p.m. deadline for teams to be under the salary cap.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It became obvious last week after GB Mike Tannenbaum and Tom Condon, the agent for Pennington, met at the NFL scouting combine that the two sides were inching toward a deal. If not, talks would have broken off a while ago. In a conference call last week, Pennington made it clear he wanted to remain with the Jets and the feeling is apparently mutual.
