The Facts: The Jets announced they released Coles earlier today.
Diehards Line:Coles, brought on board in the hopes he could provide depth during Santonio Holmes' four-game suspension, could be of interest to other teams with issues at the position. In fact, Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio thinks it will be interesting to see whether Brett Favre makes a pitch for the receiver-needy Vikings to sign Coles, who caught 70 passes for 850 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns in 2008, when Favre and Coles were teammates in New York. As Florio summed up, "We don't know what Coles has left, but he surely has more than Javon Walker." Coles, however, has subsequently suggested he might be ready to call it a career.
