Clayton: A 6th round pick for Ramsey

The Jets are probably going to take a QB in the draft anyway, so Ramsey would likely be a short-term solution. That's probably why they're only willing to give up a 6th rounder. Plus you have to consider there's quite a few free agent QB's that will be available that are more highly regarded than Ramsey.

True, but most of the free agent qbs or qbs that are on the trading block have some injury issues: Culpepper- shredded knee; Pennington- shredded shoulder; Brees-- shoulder (did you see how his arm was bent!). Which free agent has more talent and potential than Patrick Ramsey?

I say take the deal; it's better than being left empty handed. Plus, you never know what you'll find in the 6th round. (I'm thinking of a quarterback in New England who has won as many Super Bowl as the Redskins.)

i was hoping for at least a 5th. the 5th will still have some talent, in the 6th though it gets really foggy... at least its a very high 6 i guess.

We can take Culpepper off the list as the Vikings are picking up his bonus. I'll leave Brees off the list too because I really don't think he's going anywhere.

QB's that have more value than Ramsey in my opinion

Kitna - proven veteran.
Simms - he's a RFA but I won't be surprised to see someone take a run at him.
Garcia - he had health issues last year but if he can get healthy he's still a very capable QB.

And then you have to consider guys who aren't currently available but are likely to at some point this offseason:

Griese
McCown
Brooks

simms would cost a 1st and a 3rd... he's just not that good.

Simms got his team to the playoffs this year so he's not bad. PR could not even beat out an old geezer for the starting job with the skins.

The skins are lucky to even get a 6th round pick for PR. He's had a million chances and just could not get it done. The skins should take this offer and let everyone move on.

Get rid of him and at least get something for him, even if it's just a 6th rounder it's better than what we'll get for him after this season when he walks... nothing.

I simply can't believe that we can't get more for him. I think people know that we are dumping him because we need the cap room and we have 2 other QBs. I say wait to trade him until we know (1) that the CBA isn't going to get extended and we are forced to dump him or (2) that we get higher compensation. A 6th round pick is friggin ridiculous.

Let's not even go there again ... ever. :spank: :joke:

lets play alittle poker with the jets.they are the one team in this league with bigger cap issues than the redskins.their starter(pennington)makes a ton of money and his arm is shot.ramsey has a modest salary,has played against an nfl defense,and is healthy.the jets have less options than the skins.i say we hold onto him for at the very least a 3rd round pick.if we cant get that,he is the skins back up this year,knows the offense and keeps a good team first attitude.a 6th round pick is basically cutting him loose for nothing
