Buffaloed in Pa Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Another kffl report of the Jet`s trying to get the 1st pick. It states there trying to move up to get Leinart.
JimBob2232 Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Doesnt make alot of sense...but then again, it is the jets. 1) it will take alot to get that pick 2) they are guarenteed one of the big 3 QBs will be there at #4 3) If they get the #1, why not bush? 4) The way things are looking, who says leinert isnt there at #4? It would be interesting if they got the #1 and took leinert. What does NO do? Do they take bush? or go QB as well (their real need). Talk about throwing a wrench into everything.
Acantha Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Bad move for them. Good move for Houston. Maybe Kubiak will build that line after all.
duey Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 This may just be posturing on the part of the Jets to help them in their contract renegotiations with Pennington.

Here's hoping that they do. He has the china doll syndrome, and a weak arm to boot.
Thailog80 Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Draft Bush and Trade Abraham to the Redskins for Ramsey and a draft pick.
2003Contenders Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Maybe not so silly. In his press conference at the combines Leinart reminded me A LOT of Tom Brady.
Hollywood Donahoe Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Bad move for the Jets, I think. With their cap situation, they're going to have to cut so many players that they'll need all the picks they can get to restock on the cheap. And as has been mentioned, they're already all-but-guaranteed one of the top three QBs if they want one.
stinky finger Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 What does NO do? 612386[/snapback] Upon watching a segment of the combine yesterday, I heard that if Sean Payton had his way he'd select Cutler over ML and VY. I thought that was interesting.
scribo Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Texans talking about trading top draft pick -- it could be the Jests. Just, please, don't be the Bills.
ndirish1978 Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Cutler is being thrown around as the top QB http://nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/9269708
Buftex Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Cutler is being thrown around as the top QB http://nfl.com/nflnetwork/story/9269708 612670[/snapback] Word down here, in Austin, is that the Texans may send their #1 pick, and a second or third rounder to the Jets, for the #4 pick overall, and John Abraham. Speculation here seems to be that the Jets are interested in both Reggie Bush and Cutler.

The scenario which you describe actually portrays Houston as paying the Jests to take the first pick of a draft. The jests are in very serious cap trouble. Every GM knows this, thus they will be lucky to get as much as a first round pick for Abraham, who has a Franchise Tag which they cannot afford, and serious motivational issues as well. Look back at previous drafts and see for yourself what it costs football teams to move up to #1. See what the Giants gave up to get Peyton Manning, and what the Rams gave to get Orlando Pace. The jests and the texans might make a trade, but the jests would certainly have to give up WAY more than what you described.
Chilly Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/HOU/9269639 Texans might trade down. EDIT: ack, didn't see the link in the other post. Mods, please dereet.

I will never claim to understand the salary cap implications of trades. However, on the surface it would seem to me that the Jets, in financial trouble, would be unloading a huge salary in Abraham, and picking up a huge salary with the #1 pick in the draft. Isn't it sort of a wash? Would the #4 pick in the draft command that much less salary than the #1 pick? Also, picking up another #2 or 3 pick would seem to soften the blow, possibly, of all of the cuts the Jets will seemingly have to make to get under the cap. I am not sure I see that it would be a huge blow to the Jets...and if Abraham is properly motivated (and I realize that is a big "if") the Texans make out pretty well too! Anyway, Charlie Casserly has begun to openly talk about trading the pick. The Jets seem to be the team that most of the speculation centers around.

Lori Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 ...and yet another take on the story, this one courtesy of Vic Carucci: Speculation on trade for top pick already hot "INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 26, 2006) -- It's early. The moment of truth won't arrive until noon ET on April 29. But it's never too soon to speculate about what the Houston Texans will do with the top overall pick of the draft -- especially when the man with a large say in that decision, Texans general manager Charley Casserly, adds some fuel to the speculation. Although it doesn't qualify as a genuine bombshell, Casserly certainly caught plenty of attention at the Scouting Combine when he disclosed to the media that the Texans already have had trade discussions with a "couple of teams" interested in moving into the No. 1 spot." . . .
