The franchise tag, the average of the salary for the NFL's top five defensive ends, allows the Jets to get two first-round draft choices for Abraham if he signs with another team. They ... could negotiate a long-term deal with him or trade him -- some reports have Minnesota interested in obtaining Abraham for wide receiver Randy Moss, who is on the market.

In the film ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’ John is cast in the role of a footballer of south Asian origin. The story of the film revolves around the going-on in a British soccer team called the Southall United Football Club, which passes through one of the worst crisis in the history of its existence since the team is not only plunged in debts, but ... has no takers. The crisis deepens as the team has no coach, no sponsors, no spectators and even no owner.

Abraham was second on the Jets with 9½ sacks last season despite missing the team's final four games with a knee injury. He was voted to the Pro Bowl although the injury kept him out of the game.

This means that the Jets will slap the franchise tag on Abraham, again. Based on his 2005 salary of $6.67 million, use of the tag in 2006 will require the Jets to offer him a one-year salary of $8 million -- and the team will need to devote that much money to him under the cap unless and until he is traded, or the tag is removed.
