How HUGE would Michael Vick be in New York? Eli Manning would become the other New York quarterback.

ABRAHAM CAUGHT IN A LOVE TRIANGLE
John Abraham wants out of New York. The Jets want to accommodate him.
But there's a little problem.
The team that is willing to pay the most money to Abraham, the Falcons, is willing to give up only a second-round draft pick. The Seahawks, on the other hand, are ready to send a first-round pick to New York, but haven't matched the financial package that the Falcons have put on the table.
Abraham is the Jets' franchise player, and no trade will work unless both the Jets are happy with the compensation and Abraham is happy with the pay package.
So either the Seahawks will have to put up more money or the Falcons will have to cough up more juice.
In this regard, we've had a few readers ask whether the Jets could send quarterback Patrick Ramsey to the Falcons in order to entice the Falcons to throw quarterback Matt Schaub into the mix. In theory, the Jets are allowed to trade the guy for whom they just traded. As a practical matter, the Falcons won't buy it.
Ramsey is no Schaub. And Schaub, we believe, is more than just an insurance policy for those 3-4 games per year in which starter Michael Vick is hurt.
We've got a feeling that 2006 could be Vick's last year in Atlanta, and that Schaub is the team's quarterback of the future.
So Schaub is and will remain off of the table. And Vick's slowly growing distaste for the organization will continue to expand as he begins to realize that Schaub is untouchable not because of his present skills off of the bench, but because of his potential abilities in the starting lineup.
