ABRAHAM TRADED TO BRONCOS?

A.J. Vaynerchuck of JetsTV.com reports that the New York Jets have struck a deal to ship defensive end John Abraham to the Broncos in exchange for a first-round pick.

We're in the process of trying to confirm the report.

The Broncos hold the 22nd and 29th picks in round one. Vaynerchuk believes that the 29th pick is being sent to New York.

Our guess is that the Jets might then try to dangle the two first-round picks in an effort to jump up even higher in the draft, possibly as high as the No. 1 overall spot on the board. The Texans could be tempted to make a deal, since it would enable them to snag a guy like tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson at No. 4, giving them another first-rounder later in the day.

NFL teams use a chart that applies point values to draft picks for trade purposes. We don't know whether, under the chart, a No. 4 and a No. 29 would be enough to justify a trade up to No. 1. It's possible that the Jets might have to throw in another pick or two, if they indeed intend to make a run at the top spot.

The Jets slapped the franchise tag on Abraham a week ago, and Abraham has made clear his desire to get out of New York. The Jets have been shopping him for the past few days.

If the report is true, the Broncos' decision to cut on Wednesday defensive lineman Trevor Pryce, running back Mike Anderson, and tight end Jeb Putzier makes plenty of sense. The Broncos needed to clear cap room in order to absorb the new deal that Abraham undoubtedly will sign with the Jets, after putting his John Hancock on the franchise tag. The Jets then would trade the new contract to Denver.

To avoid a cap hit for the Jets, the deal undoubtedly will include not a signing bonus but an option bonus payment due within a few days after the trade is consummated, putting the entire responsibility for his cap number in 2006 and beyond (if there's a cap) on the Broncos.

Serious question, would the Jets Fanbase be glad to see this guy go?

Yes many want him gone.

The dude scares me. He's Mr glass jaw when it comes to playing with injury's and even staying healthy for a season.

He's not worth a #1. Especially with this draft being deep! Denver will have a solid shot a top rated pass rusher and at a cheaper price then Abraham would cost.

T.O. yes he plays. Abraham no he's not a player.

That's what I'm sayin'.

Why not just add a player through free agency and keep the #1? Brentson Buckner is floating around in space right now. Derrick Brooks is floating in space. No reason to tie up cap in a guy that doesnt play that much (see Trevor Pryce).

Not only that, but if Denver needed to get rid of a #1 to save cap space, they could package them together to move up for a player they target. No need to throw one out the window.

I was just commenting on how I found it sort of funny...

I believe him. Why would he destroy his credibility and his own website?

Mile High Shack · 03-02-2006, 03:54 PM

this kid is going to be a famous idiot that is for sure

which once again proves that we should never trust PFT

How 'bout we wait 'til the guy is traded to a new team...

Gcver2ver3 · 03-02-2006, 03:56 PM

I'm not sure if this is true or not...

if it is....i guess i'm glad....

i mean who could we get that late in the first round for a player of abraham's calibur?

my thoughts is if this is true how can we afford him and still go after free agents and sign draft picks?

Wow, another thread about another website reporting that a kid in a dorm room said the deal is done. It must be true now.
