Former Jets first round draft pick and current Atlanta Falcons defensive end John Abraham went on a little Twitter tirade this morning. You can check out his Twitter feed here (Some offensive language, don't click the link if you'd rather not read that).

Abraham ripped into former Jets Head Coach Herm Edwards, saying he didn't give Abraham a fair shake and created a perception of him quitting on the team, while Abraham feels the organization hindered him. He claims that Edwards was a good "salesman," but lied to his face.

He also mentioned that Woody Johnson didn't speak to him the entire season when he was given the franchise tag.

Abraham also says he likes current Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan.

Nothing major here, just some good Twitter drama. Although I was never crazy about Edwards as a football coach, I was under the impression he was well-liked by his players. Abraham's statements were backed up by former Jets quarterback Troy Woodbury.
