He can do what he wants to do, but the Jets will prevail over his childish antics. I lost respect for him a while ago. trade him and let's go forward. We're in rebuilding mode now anyway ... aren't we?
Happens every year, and like the author said, unless the Jets ADMIT to it, they are not in violation of the CBA. You have to actually admit to it, otherwise how would someone know. There is nothing wrong with shopping a guy to learn his value.
The Jets are not in violation...I surelly doubt the brain trust is going to come out flately and say "yes we are trying to trade Abraham". They have said they are open to trade discussions and as a team I believe that is fine. I do agree that the Jets do not want Abraham and are dancing on the fine line right now.This has gone on so many times in the NFL where guys get franchised then get traded. My opinion this is a reach of a story...
Should Abraham file a greivance? Yeah, Abraham should file a grievance against himself for being such a ninny-whining, selfish, egotistical prick. He should seek damages from his estate for crying publicly and complaining about being franchised for a lousy $8 million per year after he publicly stated he didn't mind being franchised. He should be remunerated for all the hand-holding, cockamamie, Koom-Bye-Ah, seance sessions he had with Herm Edwards in which his diaper was personally changed by Edwards each and every time he soiled it. He's got a lot to complain about, believe me. His career was stunted and his talent never truly materialized as a result of Herm allowing him to sit on the sidelines at precisely the time we needed him the most, during the playoffs. All he ever wanted was a lousy $22 million contract and it's all our fault he never got it. Believe me, he has a good case. Head case, that is.
This is just like tampering allegations. Prove it. As long as they get their cap number below the designated amount by 3/3 they will have established intent to pay. That is all they have to do............period. If Abraham files a greivance. Let him, I don't care; he will only make an ass of himself.
All the more reason to trade this crybaby SOB. My only regret is this selfish prick probably just lowered his worth another notch or two. He'll never fit in with Mangini's vision of a team. Get what we can for him and DO IT NOW!
Can I file a greivance against Jensen ? (just kidding)(sort of) Dude, are you even a Jets fan ? Everything you post is anti-Jet since Herm left. I'm not trying to pick a fight, but really, was Herm leaving the last straw for you ? Are you a man without a team or are you now maybe a KC fan ?
I posted this cuz it took my crappy computer about 5 mins to connect to the link. This is for those that have the same problem.
Why would Abraham do that? He wants to get traded, and they are doing what they can to accomodate him. Oh, yeah, jensen only posts negative stuff. he isn't a Jets fan.
Right. If he wants negative publicity over something so petty that happens every year and ISN'T against the rules, then he should file a grievance. GO AWAY.
A lot of law is contradiction and a balancing test. The franchise tag was designed to keep a player under contract for a team, and if you don't allow them to do that because they'd be traded in the future, you abrogate the very reason for the franchise tag. Abe can try suing, but the entire NFL free agent system isn't about to crumble down because of Abe.
I looked up good faith. Make of it what you will: Definition - Good Faith [translation of Latin bona fides] : honesty, fairness, and lawfulness of purpose : absence of any intent to defraud, act maliciously, or take unfair advantage <filed the suit in good faith> <negotiating in good faith> see also good faith exception good faith purchaser compare bad faith The meaning of good faith, though always based on honesty, may vary depending on the specific context in which it is used. A person is said to buy in good faith when he or she holds an honest belief in his or her right or title to the property and has no knowledge or reason to know of any defect in the title. In section 1-201 of the Uniform Commercial Code good faith is defined generally as «honesty in fact in the conduct or transaction concerned." Article 2 of the U.C.C. says «good faith in the case of a merchant means honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing in the trade." Similarly, Article 3 on negotiable instruments defines good faith as «honesty in fact and the observance of reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing," a definition which also applies to the provisions of Article 4 on bank deposits and collections and Article 4A on funds transfers. The U.C.C. imposes an obligation of good faith on the performance of every contract or duty under its purview. The law also generally requires good faith of fiduciaries and agents acting on behalf of their principals. There is also a requirement under the National Labor Relations Act that employers and unions bargain in good faith.
Anti-Jet? No, I want the Jets to win a Super Bowl and they aren't gong to do it with htose two fools running the show. I'm a bigger Jet fan than you since I have been one since their first year as the NY Titans going to Saturday night games at the Polo Grounds. Unlike the drinkers of Green Kool Aid, the biggest mistake the Jets have made since Leon Hess is turning the team over to two unqualified persons in Mike Tannenbaum who is as responsible for the Jets cap mess as Bradway, and hiring his dear and close personal friend Eric Mangini, apparently his only qualification for the job as not a single other team expressed the slightest interest. The sooner Jet fans start looking at reality, the sooner the NFL forces the inept current owner to sell the team or let the NFL take over football operations. Reality, these two fools couldn't hire their first, second or third choice as coordinators and are stuck with coaches with even less experience at their positions than the coaches... You will be joining the call in a year.
Unlike Herm who, when he had to hire a new DC went right out and got... his uh...first...no, it was his second choice, or was it his 3rd....um never mind.....:wink:
He's a troll who showed up the week Herm left. I wouldn't be surprised if he was anti-Herm at some other board before he came here and had to leave because Herm leaving negated his schtick.
