Patrick Ramsey - QB - Jets
Jets acquired QB Patrick Ramsey from the Redskins for a 2006 sixth-round pick.
Washington was hoping for more. The Tulane grad offers New York a very cheap alternative to challenge Chad Pennington in training camp. Ramsey only has one more year left on his contract, so the Jets are still in the mix to draft a quarterback with the fourth overall pick. This move gives them flexibility. Mar. 17 - 3:23 pm et

I think that they would go with Haloti Ngata!

At the risk of sounding like a know it all, and putting all these opinions in their place..... I will proceed to do just that.
The Jets have an offer (apparently) from Seattle for Abraham.... their #31 straight up. Now this FO will go to the Falcons, and tell them to ante up, or lose Abraham. The #15 for JA, and another pick.... maybe a third. If Atlanta balks, they will then tell JA to get a contract done with Seattle, or come back and sign the tag tender.
Tannenbaum and Mangini KNOW that much of the NFL looks at them as newbies. As much a part of the JA trade negotiations, there is more at stake. They want, need to let the NFL know that this isn't Terry Bradway's FO anymore. They will play hardball here. They may be newbies, but they aren't stupid either.
The Jets will still look for Cutler at 4. They won't trade up and lose picks though. If he's not there, they will go in another direction. Trade down, or take someone other than Ferguson. Since 2000, of all the O linemen taken in the top ten, only ONE has made the pro bowl.... Chris Samuels, ONCE.
These guys, from the Parcells-Belichick brain trust, will follow their strategy. Of those two, only ONE O linemen was ever taken in the first round, but that was NE at #32..... hard to even call that a first rounder.
They won't count on either Ramsey or Pennington at QB.... they will look for a prospect. If Cutler is gone at 4, they might go Croyle in the second. They won't give up icks to move up, they won't get raped for JA.
There was an earlier comment.... the Jets are 14 mil UNDER the cap. In good shape. That includes the 8.33 mil for Abraham. These guys are looking at 2008. And, they are here to play hardball.

The Jets groomed Pennington perfectly. They've earned the benefit of the doubt with me and whether they can develop Ramsey or not. We'll see I guess.
I know Vinny T wants to coach after his playing career. I'm sure he had a hand in Chad's learning. Hopefully they make him an assistant QB coach or somesuch.

Completely separate from this thread topic, but good comment.I mentioned this in another thread with some staff members where people threw out not taking QBs in the 1st round and someone mentioned OL were safer. Since 2000, there were more stinkers at OL in the top 10 than QBs and even with Samuels, I think he got a pro-bowl more on name than any great play that I have seen.

Rosenfels signed with Houston, not Cincy. Doug Johnson and Craig Krenzel are behind Palmer, but count on another QB being signed as #2, probably Jamie Martin.Casey Printers signed a 3 year contract in KC in late January. He's 24, and he won the MOP (the MVP equivalent) in the Canadian Football League in 2004. When the Chiefs signed him, the Lions, Colts, and Raiders were also very interested, but he signed with KC because they said they beleived he can be their QB of the future when 36 year old Trent Green is done. KC has always kept their eye on CFL players and isn't afraid to give them a chance. Both WRs Joe Horn and Marc Boerigter were signed out of the CFL by KC, and more recently PK Lawrence Tynes. Trent Green himself did a short stint in the CFL before playing for the Rams.
Printers has a strong arm, is very mobile, and has been compared to Vince Young. He was the QB at TCU when LT2 was there, but transferred to U. Central Florida (I don't know the story behind the move); that's the school Culpepper had gone to. He was undrafted by the NFL, but went to Canada and really blossomed.
He'll be the #3 this year most likely, but I believe he'll be #2 in 2007 and will start in 2008.
Printers may be the best kept secret in dynasty leagues, or maybe I'm just a fool. In the 7 MOX dynasty leagues, no one but me has rostered him. In the 9 Zealots leagues who have done their initial dynasty drafts this year, no one has drafted him. So, take all this that I'm saying with a grain of salt if you like, but at least file away the name Casey Printers in the back of your mind. At least you'll know who he is.

Don't know. I didn't pay any attention to the situation until he was close to signing with KC, and then only because of the things their organization was saying about him (especially Carl Peterson and the their CFL scout). I hadn't read about him backing out of anything previously, but it seems it would have been in one of the January write-ups if he had done that.

I'll buy it. You're pretty on top of the news of the day. Maybe if you Google it you'll come up with something, or one of our CFL friends will know something. Well, I'm outta here. Road trip today.
