Steve Wyche, of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports
New York Jets franchise free agent DE
John Abraham is intent on playing for the
Atlanta Falcons, his agent, Tony Agnone, confirmed Sunday, March 19. The contract agreement he reached Friday, March 17, with Atlanta and his word are his bond. The
Jets have thwarted Abraham's relocation by treating the Falcons' trade offer of a second-round draft pick as insufficient. Instead, the
Jets have agreed to trade him to the
Seattle Seahawks for a first-round draft choice, and that decision has left Abraham "not happy," according to Agnone. In a brief e-mail to the Journal-Constitution, Agnone said there had been no developments in the saga over the weekend. Though things were quiet over the weekend, the
Falcons confirmed talks are expected to resume as soon as Monday, March 20.

Harvey Fialkov, of the
Sun-Sentinel, reports former
Minnesota Vikings WR
Cris Carter, now an analyst on HBO's Inside the
NFL, believes the
Vikings made a drastic mistake in trading QB
Daunte Culpepper while he is in his prime. "You don't trade franchise quarterbacks," Carter said during an interview on Sirius
NFL radio. "The reason we have jobs is because guys in executive positions make decisions on quarterbacks. Because every week, what do we talk about on Monday?"
