There you go again Nors. Boston was a good idea to you even after I brought up his strikes in the program but Abraham is a horse of a different color?

Abraham can play Herm for a fool, but I believe he respects Parcells way more than that.

I am sure BP and JJ will give him a call....

That's what I've been saying Nors. Just because they are there in FA doesn't mean we should run out and open the vault. There are several DEs in this draft that will be available at the No. 11 and probably No. 20 that would be a nice fit, i.e. Merriman. The guy is a beast with good size and tremendous speed. Watching him reminds me of Jevon Kearse or Jason Taylor

Abraham is 3 years younger, has far more raw skill and ability, and is alot faster.

You can trade for him for whatever the Jets want. If you sign him as a free agent, then you have to give up compensation based on his franchise tag. Same thing with Howard.

If we can neg a decent contract, I would pick him up for our 20th pick in a flash. Sure injury is a concern but it can happen to any player, new draftee or older players. Sometimes freak accidents happen. He is known commodity. You can't get that for nothing. Let's get JJ start talking to the Jets. Sign him to a 6-7 yr deal.

Abraham is a LDE I believe and Howard is a RDE and we know that Ellis cannot make the switch to RDE so.......

Compensation/salary/position - a lot to weigh...
