Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Pennington was appreciated, but not as much as newcomer Brett Favre was desired. ... Meanwhile, reports out of Florida indicate that Bill Parcells -- the man who drafted him in New York -- and the Dolphins have already contacted Pennington's agent, Tom Condon. Another possible destination would be Kansas City, where former Jets head coach Herman Edwards is running the show.
