Jets | Falcons reach agreement with Abraham; still need to work out a trade

Fri, 17 Mar 2006 14:01:22 -0800

 

ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the Atlanta Falcons have reached a contract agreement with New York Jets franchise free agent DE John Abraham on a multi-year deal, a high-ranking team official and several league sources confirmed. The next step: Reaching a trade agreement with the Jets on appropriate compensation for the standout defensive player. "We're very comfortable with where we are at (with Abraham), and we think he is comfortable, too," one Falcons official said. "We've got a (contract) deal in place with him. Now we've got to deal with (the Jets)." The addition of QB Patrick Ramsey by the Jets may have been a sign that the Jets are now convinced they won't be able to pry QB Matt Schaub away from the Falcons in an Abraham deal.

Sounds like Atlanta has the contract side with Abraham worked out, but not the trade side with the Jets. And with Seattle it's the exact opposite. My bet is that he ends up in Seattle.
