I wonder of the Jets use this pick to move up a few spots and grab Leinart from the Saints.

Helluva deal for Mangini, if it happens. Actually, it's a good deal for both.

****! This also means that they gain about $7mil in cap space. Damn those Seahawks.

Sounds like a draft day trade. The Jets swap with New Orleans, plus give up their 31 and 68. The values work out. I know the talk around here has the Saints trading to 4 or 5 and picking Hawk or Ferguson.

Abraham has a deal worked out with Atlanta and the Jets have the deal worked out with Seattle, so now Seattle has to cut a deal with Abraham to pull him away from Atlanta, and Atlanta needs to meet the Jets 1st round price now that they've got a buyer.

Fun and games!

****. If that's the case, good for the Jets. Two first rounders will REALLY help any team out. ****** Seahawks man..

I just returned from a short visit to Jest Insider. This story is still SPECULATION at this time.

In fact, Abe does not want to go to Seattle.

However, they did announce thaty the Jest have traded to Washington for Partrick Ramsey. No details on the trade.

I've heard this suggested, but I don't see the logic of it. You're sitting at #4, guaranteed to get to get of the following: QB Leinart, RB Bush, DE Williams, LT Ferguson. And you have plenty of holes on your team. And the #2 pick costs a lot more than the #4. And you're going to give away #31 and #68 to move up two slots?
