NY Jets Shopping John Abraham - Cowboys/Vikings Interested
Both teams have a pair of first-round draft picks. Abraham is seeking nearly $20 million.

He's not worth that money because he's only good for 2/3 of the season.

I'd trade him. Hell, I never would have 'franchised' him. I would have given him up for Moss.

1. I wouldn't want him on my team
he didn't even try to play in the playoffs. I remember when Lawrence Taylor played with a broken ankle. Abraham should be ashamed.

2. Wait a minute
That would have been a WR duo of Moss and Moss

4. Gad, I totally missed that
I must have been caught up with the college basketball stuff when it happened. I prefer Moss. He's smaller but more versatile. I'm admittedly biased in favor of a Hurricane over a Seminole.

That's two high profile ex-Canes who have been dealt surprisingly early in their careers to the Skins lately, after Clinton Portis last year. Plus they've got Sean Taylor.

5. Coles is a better player
in the NFL, its rare these days for the smaller receivers to do extremely well. The Jets improved with that trade. The SKins got the inferior player and absorbed a huge cap hit to do so.

6. Normally I prefer the bigger receiver
Coles is too much of a straightliner. Moss can beat you in the kicking game and from scrimmage. He's much more nifty and elusive.

Besides, I'm not exactly prone to give huge credit to the Jets for retrieving a player they lost in the first place.

7. Not giving the Jets credit
I'm a Giants fan. The Redskins really blew this one because of the enormous salary cap hit they had to take to trade away the better player. And Coles is much better. It really isn't close. Moss won't be returning kicks. You don't use your number 1 receiver in that role. Its too risky.
