Clayton: A 6th round pick for Ramsey

[paulskinsfan]

John Clayton just said on ESPN radio at about 8:35 a.m. that the Jets would get Ramsey more than likely for a lousy 6th round pick. If we can't get at least a 3rd rounder for Ramsey I say we just keep him. Freakin 6th round pick, that's pretty much just throwing him away for no compensation!

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I agree. I mean we're gonna' need a backup and the cost would be comparably more.

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.

Yeah, but a 6th rounder is basically just that....nothing. Id rather keep him then get nothing for him. Whether or not you believe Ramsey should've been the starter, most of us agree that the kid has enough talent to play in the league somewhere.

Regardless of what he does once he leaves the team, wouldn't we get a compensatory draft pick for a first rounder leaving?

You get a compensatory pick when they leave for free agency. If you picked up a player through free agency then some times it can be a wash.

We need to get what we can. Ramsey has no value now, or atleast minimal value. He has not played in two years, and played average if that when Steve Spurrier was here. I am a Ramsey fan. he had more value at the end of last year than he does now. Plus with all the other QBs out there that are now going to be free agents, I would be happy with a 6th rounder. The compensatory pick probably would be the same thing, maybe a 5th. I think its the right thing to do. We are going to need as many picks as we get to fill the roster when we have to cut alot of players.

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.

I have to believe that Ramsey is worth more than a sixth round pick. If I'm Gibbs, keep him and let him walk next year then.

We are in a no win situation. Teams know we have some cap issues and that we are looking to shop him. They can do that.

Yeah, but Ramsey's cap number has to be really really small since he's in the last year of his rookie contract. Couldn't we just keep him and trade him later when some team desperately needs qb help after injury or something?

[MTK]

C'mon guys, we really have no excuses for assuming info about player salaries. Just jump over to the cap sheets and you'll see Ramsey's base for 2006 is about $1.7M.

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.

[paulskinsfan]

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?

[Twilbert07]

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.)
