Here are the reasons:

-No one can say Ramsey is a true franchise QB (IMO he's not mobile, not accurate enough, can't read defenses all that well)
-Hassellbeck might have shown Gibbs enough to be a decent #2 for now.
-Manning is a franchise QB who can ride the pine for a year (Jay Schroeder was a backup who played in his 2nd year)
-Samuels and Ramsey would really help the cap situation plus it would show agents like Sexton the door
-We would still get a needed DT who has good upside
Overall, it may not make sense, but think about it for a moment...

I take issue with the statement that Ramsey isn't a true franchise QB, especially if you're going to label Eli Manning one without him even taking one NFL snap.
Ramsey is still very green, but it's way too early to write him off.
Trading Ramsey just doesn't make sense from the persepective that Gibbs loves to have 2 quality QB's who can both play. Throwing a rookie in the mix would totally contradict his philosophy of QB depth. From what I heard about Hasselbeck he didn't show much in minicamp at all, so I think we can rule that idea out.
It also boils down to who says Ramsey is going to sit for the next couple of years? If he gets the chance to start he very well could take the starting job and run with it. Gibbs is going to go with the guy he feels the most comfortable with regardless of the dollar signs next to his name. Brunell hasn't been the most healthy guy recently so Ramsey's time could come sooner rather than later. Even if Brunell beats him out this year, next year could be a different story.
