Redskins Sign Todd Collins

[Big C]

todd collins will never see the field, campbell will be the backup at least. but what collins can do is help campbell with the system and tutor him. i like the addition

Check the first post of this thread for Collins.

Ramsey news is still a rumor at this point.

Here's the link to the site where I saw the Todd Collins signing. The Ramsey thing I thought was just a rumor right now.

This isn't news anyway, who didn't expect Collins to be signed and Ramsey to be dealt?? This isn't exactly a shocker.

No, it's not a shocker at all. I just thought they should have kept Collins on the back burner until the Ramsey thing was finished. It's not like other teams were beating down his door. Why even trade a 4th or 5th round pick for Patrick now that the skins have completely closed the door on the possibility of Ramsey being on the roster next year. There is a difference between everyone thinking something and having it spelled out for them. This is not a big deal...I just wish the skins played it closer to the vest some times.

good point celts

Who knows what's going on behind the scenes though.

A deal will go down for Ramsey regardless, and his trade value won't be harmed by this announcement.

I'm with Celts on this one, too.

If I'm the Jets, I break off all trade talks with the Redskins to get Patrick Ramsey, knowing full well that he's out of favor with Gibbs and they won't keep four quarterbacks on their roster anyway. In the process, I save my 4th round pick. They know that other teams aren't exactly breaking down the doors at Redskin Park for Ramsey. Especially now that Miami and the Saints have their QB situations locked up.

Add this to the fact that the Jets are still probably going to have a choice between either Vince Young or Matt Leinhart in the draft -- and they're not getting rid of Pennington yet either.

Not saying this is exactly how it will do down, but we're talking basic common sense here.

Then if I'm the Skins I say fine and keep Ramsey until training camp when inevitably a starter will go down with injury.

The Collins announcement isn't going to hurt anything, teams already knew the Redskins' plans.

I don't know about logjam. I mean Ramsey should be gone soon.

"Inevitably" a starter is going down to injury?

Gibbs will not have Brunell, Collins, Campbell AND Ramsey on the roster come July.

I don't think he's saying that our starting qb will go down to injury, i think he's saying one of the starters on our team will go down to injury. It happens to every team. We'd have to be real lucky for it not to happen to us.
