At least one NFL coach is ready to make Mark Sanchez the starting quarterback of his team if the New York Jets cut him.

"We'd take Sanchez," said the unnamed coach. "He'd be the starter as soon as he walked in the door for us."

Sanchez's release would save the Jets $8.3 million off his $13.1 million cap figure.

Michael Vick, Josh Freeman, Shaun Hill, Josh McCown and Chad Henne are other free agent quarterbacks available.
