A prediction after reading some news

[diehardskin2982]

John Abraham will be franchised by the Jets on Feb. 23 and then will be traded to the Redskins for Patrick Ramsey or Lavar Arrington straight up. We have been tade partners with the Jets before and I can see the same thing happening again.

Hopefully it's arrington, but Abraham's heart has been questioned in his carreer, I don't know if he's the kind of person Gibbs is looking for?

ud rather trade arrington than ramsey?? franchising abraham would mean he would hav a big cap number, bad news

I'm assuming it would also have to involve some sort of long-term contract...but then why franchise him? Just do a sign-and-trade. Could you elaborate on what "news" you are referring to? Whole thing seems unlikely to me at the moment...though a legit pass rusher like Abraham would be a blessing...

No link, no story.

Nothing to see here folks. Now move along!

We don't have the money to pay Abraham, which is exactly what he wants.....P......A......I.......D. PAID. And the Jets would be stupid to trade Abraham for Ramsey.......staight up......or Arrington for that matter. Keep dreaming man because that is exactly what this trade would be.

The story has been reported that they would franchise him and then try to trade. The Redskins was one of three or four teams mentioned, however.

[That Guy]

if he's franchised there's no way we can take him.

abraham is greedy and has taken himself out of games (when healthy) before. he has talent, but i rather get someone else.

And they couldn't do a sign and trade because they wouldn't own the rights to JA without getting him under a contract first (like a franchise tag).

maybe he just needs a change of scenery.

I dont know if this has been posted by some one or not, I didn't feel like reading all of the posts. The rumor is that the Jets may trade Abraham, but to the charges for Rivers or Breese. Probably Rivers. And if we trade him, it better be Ramsey. You cant have two first round QBs sitting on the bench. Plus if we keep him and he plays his ass off in the preseason and deserves a shot, it another QB controversy in Washington. we dont need that. Plus Arrington was a good player for our D the latter part of the season. He let the team in tackles for loss, even only playing in 2/3 the games. He should be 100% next year, plus I think he'll probably drop some weight in the offseason. It takes a year to get back to yourself after knee surgey like he had. It will be a big mistake for him to go.

I agree LA will be much improved next season, considering the direction the team is going, I think he will want to be here. Therefore I believe he will restructure his contract to give the skins much needed cap relief, and he will be a consistant part of our TEAM as well as help leading our defense to a top 3 defense in the league.

You may be working off old news. Brees had shoulder surgery and chances are he's not going to be ready for the season opener. Odds are really slim that the Chargers would be willing to deal Rivers at this point.

this is off topic but if i was sd i would be scared to death about my qb situation. brees might not be ready and rivers has been holding a clipboard for 2 years now. the only real playing time he got was week 17 after brees got hurt and he looked lost.

If Rivers isn't ready to play at this point they're really in trouble.
