Disgruntled defensive end John Abraham may finally have been traded to the team he was hoping, albeit not in the trade route that was expected.

FOXSports.com has learned that the Falcons, Broncos and Jets swung a three-way trade Tuesday in order to make the deal happen that would get Abraham to the Falcons. The deal is also still be reviewed by the league office and all parties are waiting for approval.

If the trade is approved, then the Falcons have traded their first-round pick (No. 15 overall) to the Broncos, which traded their first-rounder (No. 29) and two additional picks to Atlanta. The Falcons then send the 29th pick of the draft to the Jets for Abraham. The Jets thus receive a draft pick two slots higher in the first round than the Seahawks were able to offer.

Abraham also told FOXSports.com several days ago that he had agreed to the financial parameters of a deal with the Falcons and insisted that was the primary team he wanted to play for.

Abraham also talked glowingly about the opportunity to play on a defense with the likes of fellow Pro Bowl defensive end Patrick Kerney as well as Pro Bowler players Keith Booking, DeAngelo Hall and Rod Coleman. Abraham also balked at the idea of moving to the Northwest to play in Seattle.

All three teams must get league approval before the trade becomes validated.

And then with 2 other picks, they will be conditional upon the colors on each jersey of the opposing team of that sunday, if one jersey should fade an additional pick may be bestowed to atlanta unless the player was wearing 3 inch spikes then the pick goes to the jets but if the jets don't have a full cooler of gatorade that pick goes back to the broncos, The other pick should go to the falcons but the falcons were wearing away jerseys so that pick goes to the jets.
 
Great job by the Jets for getting value for a valuable player but who A) Doesn't fit this new team (attitude or skills) and B) had some injury problems.

Good stuff.

3 picks in the top 35 is good with me.

Yeah, not bad. And man, I'm glad he's out of the AFC East.

Depending what you have to give up if you trade with the Saints or (Texans for Bush). Now you have some ammo.

Lame post, but anyways, this year is going to be an interesting one, i know that we will not contend, but we are not going to finish at the bottom (thank god!!) But you Dolphins are going to have a great year, your not going to win the SB but you are definitely going to make the playoffs, Saban is doing a great job down there. Hey Shane, if your trying to start some smack, take it to the right part of the site, being a Phins fan, you should know this.
