Re: Trade Deadline Approaching; Any Moves?
 

Why are we so concerned for trading for another player unless its a top O-Lineman that will come in and start the next several years for us. If anything try to get more draft picks by dumping some of our older Vets ( Betts,ARE,Rogers-RFA). I know its tough to admitt that we are going to have to rebuild this team, since Zorn is gone by the seasons end. Lets give the new coach plenty of picks to build the team for his system. Lets face it rebuilding requires patients by not only the Owner but also the DIE HARD FANS. No More Band-Aids we need major surgery to fix this mess.

They all deny trades, right before it happens.

Levi Jones tried out ofr the Lions today. I cant believe the Redskins have not brought him in for a tryout. The season is not over yet, they need to try. Batiste has no business even playing in the NFL.

Re: Trade Deadline Approaching; Any Moves?
 

Miami lost rb) Cobbs for/yr and R. Williams came up limping Monday Night , Maybe they would be willing to part with a pick for Betts ? Heck , if the Skins put out a statement that D. Thomas has been slowed by a Hammy , but he runs 4.3 / 40 yds , Al Davis might offer us a couple of picks for him :)

I've been surprised by that too, as well as Langston Walker not getting a call.

I am confident someone is overriding Bugel on this part. in preseason at one point, he basically said, the right side is fine, I have enough bodies I can make it work, if you want to know my concern that is if Samuels goes out. I didn't look for the link, but it was that straight forward. And yet no LJ, no Walker no anybody, but we bring in an old RB from Tennessee??? Maybe SSmith is the offensive issue. Hard to believe, but maybe he is telling Bugel to "make it work"

I think a lot is that at this point few teams pick up OL off the waiver wires (unless they need a long term fix for the season...which we do) because unless they're starting or first off the bench OL don't offer much versatility in that they can't play special teams. All that said, it does seem like this year there are some pretty decent candidates out there

This is the crux of Vinnie's bias against drafting OL help. And hey I understand it, BUT, there are 31 other practice squads to pull from, there are several proven LT's to pull from, and it doesn't cost you any popularity points to bring guys in for tryouts. I so want to defend something about this organization. I really really really want to, but as 53 said, the question has to be asked "does ANYBODY know what they are doing?".

The only benefit of the doubt that I can think of is that L. Jones & L.Walker both might've asked for $ that the skins aren't willing to pay. Maybe danny has set spending levels low after paying Hall & AH.
(or better yet, he looked up a lot of old warpath threads about "vet minimum" offers & thought that sounded good)

Re: Trade Deadline Approaching; Any Moves?
 

We need to move Rogers now. Odds are against us in trying to sign him to a long term deal in the offseason, especially since we gave Hall a big deal. We should at least get a second for Rogers, I would hope for a first. Two firsts would be great for the skins in rebuilding the o-line and possibly QB.

They need to look at both of them. But knowing the FO they are probably looking at skilled players.

Re: Trade Deadline Approaching; Any Moves?
 

Trade Vinny for Matt Millen.
