You guys still think the Jets should trade Abraham. You guys are smokin something. He hasnt missed a game this year and he has done pretty good considering the circumstances. Bradway said that Abraham needs to prove he can stay healthy before they sign him long term.

Abraham is one of the top 5 DE's in the league if he is on an aveage team. Because the Jets are always behind, teams dont need to pass against us. They run all day. Thats why Freeny and Mathis are so dominant, because teams are always playing catch-up against the Colts and they cant afford to waste minutes running the ball. And Abraham can still get 10 sacks this year if he gets one in each of the next 4 games. That is impressive. There aren't much players that can do that when they only get 15 or 20 chances a game. Abraham needs to be a priority this off season and without him on the roster next year, the Jets D can easily go from top 10 in 2004 to bottom 10 in 2006.

I agree, they should only consider trading him if someone wants to overpay.

Fans maybe questioning Abraham because we got Bryan Thomas waiting on the bench. We have lots of needs and a DE i guess is just not one of them. Shaun Ellis and Dewayne Robertson are pretty good pass rushers. I personally would like to keep Abraham in Green and White he creates literal hell for opposing quarterbacks, coaches, and lineman. Also Abraham hasn't been so great against the run. But a defense with Abraham and Vilma sounds tenacious and the duo make us known around the league. But Abraham may just be staying healthy because it's his contract year. And he's going to be 28 next year and that's not very young as Freeny and Mathis but it's not a big issue. Only reason I question Abraham is because he's usually injury prone and Thomas is waiting in the wings.

abraham has been quiet all year. and bryan thomas has played alot better in his limited time. thomas isnt AS good yet and thats a given, but hes more reliable against the run and to stay on the field, and did a great job against the steelers in the AFC divisonal game last year. I love abraham i do, but when the jets could trade him for an arm like rivers, or a high draft pick to possibly pick up brady quin if the jets get bush or maroney/williams if they get leinart, that would be an amazing jets offense and would actually save them money.

Ive beent thinking about this alot. Its just horrible to see the jets score 3 points a game. a good QB/RB combo and this team is turned around.

They better, he is now up to 8.5 sacks. Not to shabby considering Jets' opponents run against them over 65% of the time.

If we trade Abraham is he worth a 1st round draft pick

i have been saying it for weeks now, abraham will be tagged an traded and its for the best interest for the team. Jets proved they could play without him last season in the playoffs beating san diego and they shoulda beat pittsburg. abraham is worth at the very least a first round pick. the jets cant afford him and he has even said he hasnt played good enough to earn the money he wants. If you really want the jets to be a good all around football team abraham has to go. They will save cap room as well. Ive said it before and im saying it again, abraham will be tagged and traded, he will not get a contract. I wish it didnt have to be him and i wish it was ellis who was in this situation but the jets gave ellis a contract and abraham a slap in the face because he is the better d end. Oh well its just time to accept that.

abe is an impact player, the defense is built around him and vilma if we give him up we need a great pass rusher to replace him

What will we get out of Abraham? I dont like the idea of trading for Rivers becuase he is still unproven. He may end up not being that bad of a QB in the future, but i dont think he is worth it yet. How high of a first rounder could we get for Abraham?

I would love to see them sign Abe and trade Ellis for a decent 2nd round pick. U wont get a #1 for him. Draft a RB, then a OL, and and another OL.
