Chad Pennington plans to make the first opening-day start of his career in September -- with or without a new contract from the New York Jets. He said there will be no negotiations after Aug. 31. "I've made sure it won't be a distraction," he said. "As far as I'm concerned, after today I'm not talking about it." Pennington is entering the final season of a five-year deal.
