Jets won't rush judgment on recent arrests, defend vetting process

INDIANAPOLIS -- Just call him Methodical Mike.

Instead of firing linebacker Dylan Donahue in the immediate aftermath of his DWI arrest, which would have sent a loud message, New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said Wednesday the team won't decide Donahue's fate until its internal investigation is complete and the legal process plays out.

It has been three player arrests in three months for the Jets, the latest of which occurred early Monday morning when Donahue -- allegedly drunk -- drove the wrong way through the Lincoln Tunnel and crashed into a 15-passenger bus.
