<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Abraham To Atlanta 21st March, 2006 - 10:25 pm FoxSports.com - Disgruntled defensive end John Abraham may finally have been traded to the team he was hoping, albeit not in the trade route that was expected. FOXSports.com has learned that the Falcons, Broncos and Jets swung a three-way trade Tuesday in order to make the deal happen that would get Abraham to the Falcons. The deal has been approved by the league, but the parties are all waiting for the Jets to sign the trade papers and make it official. In the trade, the Falcons send their first-round pick (No. 15 overall) to the Broncos, and Denver turns around and sends its first-round pick (No. 29) and a third-rounder in this year's draft plus a fourth-round pick in 2007 to Atlanta. The Falcons then send that 29th overall pick in the draft to the Jets for Abraham. The Jets thus receive a draft pick two slots higher in the first round than the Seahawks were able to offer in their quest to land Abraham. [READ]</div> Wow. John Abraham, Patrick Kerney, Rod Coleman...what a awesome defensive line.
I love this deal for my Broncos, it gives them two very solid 1st round picks, which they can either use to bulk up the team or they could try to trade up and get a real good spot and draft a QB if they'd like. The Jets really got the bad end of this deal, they didn't get much for a top tier defensive player.
