How HUGE would Michael Vick be in New York? Eli Manning would become the other New York quarterback. www.profootballtalk.com 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.
If we got Vick I would flip out, that would be an awful move, what would be so great about having an exciting player that never gets you anywhere
I hate Michael Vick so much that I'd debate no longer following football if my team (the Jets) aquired him. I hate wagon hoppers and I hate every other team in the league so I'd have to just stop watching NFL completely, as it would be impossible for me to root for Michael Vick.
They have "a feeling" this year "could" be his last. Thats reliable PFT, always reporting the cold hard facts!!!
Actually it's not completely bizarre even though PFT is almost always wrong. Atlanta wanted to renegotiate Vick's contract and Vick declined. Atlanta was upset with him over it, because they feel he's making way too much money and Schaub fits their offense.
This is Vick's last season in Atlanta... and my name is Yogi Berra. What's Atlanta going to take? A 28 million dollar cap hit next season if he's cut?
If the Jets acquired Michael Vick, he would be out of the league with a career-ending injury in about a month.
I could see Vick as a Jet, but do we really want a guy like him? He's a running back with a good arm.
Jeeeezum... If Vick leaves Atlanta I'll have to put with double the number of posts I had to with TO. :angry:
