"According to someone with knowledge of the situation, several teams have expressed interest in trading for Abraham, including San Diego, Washington, Cleveland and Houston. Rumors have persisted that the Jets could get Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers or Redskins quarterback Patrick Ramsey in a trade involving Abraham. Right now, Abraham is stuck with the Jets. If a team wants to acquire Abraham, it would have to give up two first-round picks. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Good post there RS Although if Abraham were to land here, our cap problems were non existant from the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f_trizzy Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I doubt they will get Rivers because the Chargers are letting Brees walk and Adam Schefter thinks Brees will wind up in Detroit or Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Complete Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 This is how these things get started... one place reports it (speculation? source?) then everyone else picks up the same story and no one knows where it really came from. To me, this is really no different than when everyone said we were going after T.O. Until, I hear something from the 'Skins front office, I'm not buying it.

McMetal Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Moot point now that the Chargers/Jets trade news has broken... Another impact DE slips through our fingers... And this a huge gamble by SD on Brees' shoulder, IMO. That is a serious injury. Their Defense will be sick though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Another impact DE slips through our fingers... Not worth two first round picks and a big contract. We can't afford him cap-wise anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Brees is now in discussion with SD. My best guess is that he will sign a deal with SD adn they will keep Rivers this year just in case Brees' arm falls off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefPowhatan17 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Right now, Abraham is stuck with the Jets. If a team wants to acquire Abraham, it would have to give up two first-round picks. " 2 first round picks are too much to give up. We could get 2 DE's that could be as good or better than Abraham in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Here's the source of the rumor. I decided to start a new thread since so many had read the previous one that this might have gone unnoticed. Newark Star-Ledger Here's the rumor part: According to someone with knowledge of the situation, several teams have expressed interest in trading for Abraham, including San Diego, Washington, Cleveland and Houston. Rumors have persisted that the Jets could get Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers or Redskins quarterback Patrick Ramsey in a trade involving Abraham. This same article is referenced in the other Thread, so mods, if you want, remove this or merge it, but I just thought this article deserved more prominent attention.

Lil Kenzo Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 It would make more sense for the Jets to trade for Ramsey then it is for them to trade for Phillips being that the Chargers are unlikely to resign Brees and I am sure they would not like to put the fate of the offense in a rookie or 3rd string QB's hands.

TC4 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The Jets would be better off with Ramsey in a trade, seeing as they could get him cheaper that Drew Brees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 The Jets would be better off with Ramsey in a trade, seeing as they could get him cheaper that Drew Brees he's also already got chemistry with Coles.....if i remember the two of them got very close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorPickSix Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yeah I do not buy the Chargers part one-bit. They are going to let Brees hit the open market, as stated. So what are they gonna do. Trade Rivers, let Brees go out as a FA, and start AJ Feeley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaDRoc Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 2 1st's just seems too steep of a price to acquire Abraham. I see him still being a Jet next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shallyshal Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 2 1st's just seems too steep of a price to acquire Abraham. I see him still being a Jet next season. you are right about it being too steep a price... but it is also too steep for the jets who do not have cap room and didn't want to signhim to a long term deal last year.. they won't sign him long term this year. they will make the best deal they can for him and ship him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdarugar Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think this trade goes down if the CBA is signed before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
