This has probably already been posted by someone else but I'm too lazy to look for it, but I'm tired of hearing everyone in the media say that the Coles/Moss trade is causing us to lose Smoot. There's been a standing offer on the table since mid season for very good money. That deal still will work under our current cap situation, but he hasn't taken it. That's not a result of anything the Redskins FO has done. They offered him a good market deal. They also have said that they don't want to give him more of a signing bonus than they gave to Springs, that's why they are firm at $10 million.. Let them talk about something else, but they had room and made fair offers to Pierce and Smoot and if they leave then the reason is because they wanted to, not because of this trade.
