Abraham for Ramsey/picks still possible?

The market for Ramsey is getting colder by the minute.

At this point it looks like the Skins might get stuck having to release him.

Ramsey obviously isn't as coveted as some of us may believe.

I know hindsight is 20/20 but I'm reminded of a time (maybe early last year) when the Dolphins were considering a 1st rounder for him. My! how things have changed, and Ramsey has fallen.

it wasn't all hindsight. Ramsey's trade value was a big issue for many of us at the time of the fateful Brunell switch.

I thought about that too, but at the time, gibbs decided that it would be too much of risk to trade Ramsey at that point and not have a veteran qb already familiar with the system to back up Brunell.

IMHO, Ramsey is going to get a 7th rounder or be released and there is no way we get Abraham.

I would release him rather than get a 7th rounder from the jets, just on principle alone. But if it were me, I'd be patient and wait it out - things in the nfl change in a flash. Just think about what was going on just 7 days ago and then 14 days ago, I know there's a big difference because cba and fa starting, but my point is the nfl landscape is always changing. It's starting to slow down a bit, but that's kinda what we might want.

Things could definately change. The problem is that everyone knows we're going to dump Ramsey. There is no way we keep 4 QBs on the roster. Plus, the free agent market is flooded with FA QBs. Finally, the teams that really need QBs have either acquired them via FA or are in great position to draft them.

I'd prefer getting a 7th rounder over nothing, no point in shooting ourselves in the foot and getting nothing for him.

I know it seems like releasing him would hurt the redskins, but this might impact business with other teams in the future. I would release ramsey instead of taking a low offer. That way the jets more than likely would not get him and it would show that the redskins don't give in when negotiating trades. I would also give a 7th rounder more value if the redskins had a better result with them the past couple or so years.

I agree with this statement 1000%.

But also, I don't think we should hang onto the guy any longer just to squeeze some extra trade value out of him. We should take the best deal we can possibly get, and if we have no offers come draft weekend, we should just release the guy and let him find a new team. He worked hard for us, he gave nothing but 100% effort, he took pounding after pounding in Spurrier's offense, and didn't complain at all when Brunell took over this year. I think he's been nothing but a class act. And while I don't think he's destined to be any more than a career backup in this league, I think we should do right by him. He got a bad shake here, we should just let him go now and let him sign on with a new team of his choice. He has earned that much from us, we should treat him with respect.

In fact, if all we're going to get is a 6th or 7th rounder in a trade, I'd say just release him instead so he can sign with any team rather than be forced to go to the only team that will offer a pick. Basically, in this situation, I think the right thing to do is let him choose where he wants to go. I think he earned at least that much just by virtue of his impeccable conduct over the last four years.

When you treat players with respect, the other players notice, and they'll want to play hard for you. They'll know that even if things don't work out in Washington, they can count on Gibbs to take care of them. Plus in Ramsey's case, it's just the right thing to do. It's time to let him go.

With Detroit signing both Kitna and Josh McCown, and with the possible release of Harrington, the market is indeed getting cold.

Ironic that both Harrrington and Ramsey may end up on the market together.

And I'd be willing to bet someone snatches up Harrington before Ramsey.
