While it is doubtful that the Bills would have any interest--let alone enough to offer or the willingness to make a trade within their own division again--or the money to satisfy Abraham, it could have a huge impact on the draft and who will be available in the second round when the Bills pick--regardless of whether it is 44th or 55th--if Abraham is traded before the draft (which is probably when a trade would be made, if it gets done). Needless to say, though, losing Abraham, regardless of what the Jets get in return, would have a significant impact on the Jets' defense this coming season.
The most likely suitors are the Cowboys and Vikings. Both need an outside pass rusher, both have two first-round picks, both have about $9 million in salary-cap room and both have former Jets coaches - Dallas coach Bill Parcells and Minnesota defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell. The Cowboys have two prime bargaining chips (the 11th and 20th picks), although owner Jerry Jones said this week that he's more apt to stockpile picks instead of trading them away. The Vikings own the seventh and 18th selections.
