habes1280 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Not sure if this has been posted, but the Jets are getting a lot for what they're spending. Ramsey is far from shoring their lot at QB, but gives them options heading into the remainder of free agency and the draft-- and is far superior to who they'd have acquired on the second day of the draft. I'd like to see the Bills be players in moves such as these. Lower yield draft picks are going a long way in trade scenarios this offseason.

Dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOUTBOX MONSTER! Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 does Ramsey come with significant contract $$$ obligation for the Jets to have to eat? Dunno... 633735[/snapback] $1.668 million for the upcoming season, which is the last on the contract. Good move on the Jets part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 A 6th rounder for a former first rounder out of Tulane? Git 'er done Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 $1.668 million for the upcoming season, which is the last on the contract. Good move on the Jets part. 633742[/snapback] I think that the $1.668 was the Skins Cap savings by trading him, though I will check. Actually, I think that his salary is only $1,194M this season.

habes1280 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 What remains viable is that two divisional opponents have substantially improved, if not fortified, their offenses by acquiring QB's without surrendering a first rounder (in the Jets case, without surrendering anything more than a prospective special-teamer). I have no interest in foraging into names or positions headlong or without foresight, but it would be nice to see our front office work more aggressively toward larger yield prospects-- and not simply the depth-line or role-players we've been turnstyling in.

djfarr00 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Just reported on Sirius two minute drill Jets may get rid of Abraham now - no need for Schaub. I was worried about Schaub. Happy to play against Ramsey We can battle it out for the worst Tulane QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a healthy pennington is better then a healthy ramsey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Well this screws up the draft for us again. Now the only team in the top 8 looking for a QB (possibly) is the Raiders, and somehow I don't see them drafting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodnarb Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 wow, the jets got him for two chickens and a pig. I've always liked ramsey and think that his career was WRECKED by spurrier, who didn't quite get NFL protections, nor give it much weight. I'm surprised there wasn't more interest in him around the league. A 6th round pick? For a 1st round QB who is still young? Jeeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Great deal for the Jets. Pennington may be finished and Ramsey was totally misued by the Redskins. Ramsey is bright, has a decent arm, and was drained of his confidence the way he was used. This whole expectation that young quarterbackes with an upside should be able to produce out of the gate is ridiculous. I'm trying to give JP a break here.

WVUFootball29 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 a 6th round pick for Ramsey is an absolute steal...and with Pennington being damaged goods, I think there is still a chance they grab a QB....but that chance has dropped significantly. RB or OT wouldnt surprise me now. Heck if the Jets get a 1st rounder for Abraham...I wouldnt be surprised if they traded the 4th pick and maybe the 31st to Houston for the Number 1 to take Reggie Bush. Houston would like to trade down and fill holes...and D'Brick is more of what they need in Houston than another running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
