RSJ Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Not sure if this has been posted. If this is true Woody is an even bigger moron than I thought. Which is saying a lot. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/story/378592p-321556c.html ABRAHAM MAY BE A GONER By MARK CANNIZZARO December 29, 2005 -- NEW YORK POST EXCLUSIVE There are many within the Jets organization who'd like to lock up defensive end John Abraham with a long-term contract after this season and allow him to flourish as a long-term bedrock of their defense. However, according to a highly placed NFL source familiar with the thinking of the Jets brass and who spoke only on the condition of anonymity, Jets owner Woody Johnson is "reluctant" to dole out a huge signing bonus to Abraham. "Woody doesn't want to pay out all that money to one player," the source told The Post. "He's still afraid of [Abraham] being injured. He feels stung by what's happened to [Chad] Pennington." Pennington, who's on injured reserve and rehabbing from a second consecutive rotator-cuff surgery, signed a $64 million contract before the 2004 season and, because of injuries, has played in only 16 games the last two seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant Hackett Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I think the FO will sign and trade Abraham for draft picks or maybe a QB if they can get one cheap. Cap will be an issue in most transactions in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty pathetic against the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tx, in all fairness he is playing out of position. He should have never been moved to DE. Not only that but he is in the same spot every down.

4HCrew Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 From what I have read the Jets cannot afford to franchise him as it will kill their cap. I hope they find a way to make a deal to keep him. As for Woody..feel free to penny pinch as you raise ticket prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets28 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 They better find a way to keep my boy. Hell they have Vilma and the boys to stop the run. He gets it right every once in a while but he's a phenomenal pass rusher. I hope they can strike a deal some way. Hell make Chad give back about 5 million and they should be able to work it all out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but he is in the same spot every down. RS, I agree with that. But SJ makes a very good point that Abe does the exact same thing on 1st and 10 as he would do on 3rd and 10. Speed rushers taking the outside route are very easy to run against. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet/BosoxFan Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Any chance we can trade him to the Pats? Imagine all the playoff games he can sit out with an upset tummy?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed rushers taking the outside route are very easy to run against. :wink: I agree with that 100%. I believe this is for two reasons. One is obvious and that is coaching technique and two is because he is taking on a LT every down when if put in his proper position he would often take on a RT, TE or even a RB.
