Meanwhile, in a blockbuster trade that is purely speculation at this point, Pro Bowl defensive end John Abraham, whom the Jets finally were able to deal, was sent to Seattle for the Seahawks' first-round draft pick, the 31st overall selection. The deal is contingent upon the Seahawks being able to sign Abraham to a long-term contract extension, something that has been challenging the past couple of seasons. Abraham has been seeking well over $15 million in guaranteed money, and one NFL executive said the defensive end was demanding $27 million over the first three years of the contract. Now, if Seattle can sign Abraham, they will give him the contract he wants and the Jets their first-round pick. And the remaking of the Jets roster was in full swing
NFL.com REPORTS ABE TO SEATTLE!? - Merged Oh who to believe.....I bet ATL Sucked it up after they heard SEA was going to get him....Let th games begin
I think if they give us a thirty first we should get a 4th this year also. With 31 a good C, like Mangold, will be available. This would be, imo, a better deal than the Falcons deal because you ship Abe alot farther away (since when have we played the Seahawks?) and you get a two picks that on a value chart add up to near what the 15 pick is. At 15 it is a reach to take Mangold, and Vernon Davis won't be there, neither Deangelo Williams...no position of need is at 15 but at 31 it is...and you get another pick.
Look at the article- it says the trade is purely speculation. But its new news, so thanx for the heads up. Later
