Dana87 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 got it off another board.....JETS AND CHARGERS TO ANNOUNCE BLOCKBUSTER DE-Abraham To San Diego - QB-Rivers To New York The DinoCosta Show has learned through an exclusive source that the NY Jets & San Diego Chargers are set to make a Blockbuster trade. The Chargers will send quarterback Philip Rivers, the 4th overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft, to the Jets, in return for pass rushing defensive end John Abraham. Rivers has been stuck behind Chargers quarterback Drew Brees the last two seasons, and will be re-uniting with former Chargers asst. Brian Schottenheimer who was recently named the Jets offensive coordinator. Schottenheimer is planning to install an offensive system that is similar in design to the Chargers current system - a system that Rivers is comfortable in and familiar with. Abraham has been miffed that the Jets haven't given him a new contract after proving that he could play an entire 16 game schedule as he did last year. The Chargers will slide Abraham nicely into their 3-4 defense that will also feature Shawne Merriman, providing San Diego with a terrific twosome that will give the rest of the AFC West fits. This trade makes sense for both teams and makes the Chargers "quiet" signing of quarterback A.J. Feeley last season something that was apparently done with the long term in mind. A big question for the Jets is what will they do with current quarterback Chad Pennington...should he be successful in returning from major shoulder surgery for a second time. :bsflag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Rivers is the starter for San Diego, otherwise Brees would have been resigned and Rivers being traded would be just as obvious as Ramsey's fate. You don't trade a proven pass rusher, who hasn't agreed to the tag meaning you can't trade him anyway, for an unproven athlete. The Jets franchise is idiotic though, just look at their draft history, but I don't think San Diego is that dumb. Mark Brunell for president, 2008!
