A prediction after reading some news

In addition to the fact that Pennington is a huge question mark for this season and, basically, the rest of his career. Some experts are saying that his arm will never be as strong as it once was, others are saying it will take a very long time (more than one season or two) to get back to normal. So, Patrick Ramsey is not only a good short term option, but could also prove to be the long term solution. You never really know, Ramsey could have a great season and supplant Pennington or he could have a mediocre season and then be replaced by him. I think the deal would make since from the Jets standpoint because I heard a NY writer on Sirius saying there's no way they can pick at #5 and keep Abraham, they have to unload one or the other.

your last sentence is really key.. they could trade down and get more picks and still have a shot at cutler.. or they could trade down further and get a whole lot more picks and add ramsey solving the qb situation. either way, the cost of signing those picks would be less than a number 5 overall pick
