Asking to take look at Leinart
BY BOB GLAUBER

Now that the Jets have restructured Chad Pennington's contract to ensure he'll be with them in 2006, they're on to their next order of business: finding his potential replacement.

Pennington's deal will keep him with the team for at least the coming season, but the Jets are considering drafting a quarterback with the fourth overall choice, or with a higher pick, if they trade up. Newsday has learned the Jets are making plans with the top quarterback prospects to work them out privately before next month's draft.

Leigh Steinberg, the agent for USC quarterback Matt Leinart, said yesterday the Jets have contacted him to set up a private workout sometime in April. Leinart is scheduled to have his pro day workout at USC on April 2. It's uncertain whether the Jets would stage the workout in California or New York.
