He's a RFA so it will cost the Jets a 5th rounder to get him and we'd have a right to match any offer they sign him to.

IMO Black would work at RG if Welbourne was kept at RT. Anyone else remember the job he did replacing Shields in that BAL game a couple of seasons ago.

Couldn't we have just traded Black for herm?

That's true, he was a RG out of Notre Dame. If nothing else he might actually play his original position pretty well. We know he can play RT well enough to stay on as Sampson backup if Welbourne moves to RG. I'd say that a young guy who can back up three line positions (two of them fairly well) is worthing trying to hang onto.

I've been following that thread, too.

How about we trade Jordan Black for John Abraham straight up? That seems like a fair trade.
