I’ve always loved Rivers but his game fell off a bit last year. He’s lost some of his fastball, we can’t afford him anyway.

If we trade Trent we will have 72 mil in cap space.

Rivers made 23 million last year and threw 20 interceptions.

On the plus side, he has started 16 games for the last 14 seasons. And as you pointed out the Redskins will have plenty of cap room. If he will take a short term contract and a 50% + cut in pay.... then maybe

$23 mill (maybe less) for a backup QB? We need to find out if Haskins is the future QB in THIS season. Not in two or three seasons after playing behind another old, OVER-PRICED QB on the downhill slope.

We will have $72 mill in cap if we trade Trent. But we can buy some top rate, very good FA to fill a lot of the BIG holes on the team.

Spending $10-20 mill on a QB, after we are ALREADY spending $20 mill on Alex Smith is just crazy. If Haskins had universally sucked his whole rookie season, this might be an option. But he started terribly, then steadily improved and finished very, very hot in his last two games. This gives a possible indication of his future. Making us wait another year or two to find out about whether Haskins is “the one” is just ridiculous. Give him a chance to prove himself or show he’s a draft bust THIS season. Then we can decide on overpaying some old guy or drafting a new QB.

People keep saying Rivers to mentor Haskins. That's not what I think Rivera would be getting at. Would it shock anyone if they get Rivers and Tua? Rivers to mentor Tua. Haskins is traded. Think it's doubtful, but no one knows what Rivera thinks of Haskins currently other than the staff. I doubt even Snyder knows (he better not lol). Either way, we'll find out soon.

New coaches want their qb (their job depends on it), and that's why this situation is so intriguing with all the talent available and the cap space. We all want to know and thankfully we will soon.

It's not the total cap space that's a concern it's the % of the cap we'd have dedicated to the QB position. $21.4 for Alex, $3.3 for Dwayne, and probably another $20M or so for Rivers? That's ridiculous.

No to Rivers...like MTK said, he looked bad last year. It’s a red flag Chargers let him walk.

An easy pass for me.

Definitely agree, also the Redskins aren't a slight QB upgrade away from being a contender. Also there is no guarantee Rivers would be an upgrade.

HELL NO To Rivers... WTF

Could It possibly be that three head coaches Gruden, Callahan, Rivera all know more than any of us on how good Haskins can be ? Gruden let it be known he did not like Haskins, Callahan ran a vanilla O plan with him .. and Rivera obviously is not on board with him at least not 100%.. Haskins has the size and the athletic ability I just wonder what they see that they don’t like ..

I think it was Lavar Arrington on the radio that said he heard a rumor that Haskins was so bad reading the playbook they thought he had dyslexia. He did not state sources and I could not tell if he was serious as he was also talking about a lot of things said this time of year are nothing but smokescreens. Maybe he was using that as an example.

That was out last week, saw the same rumor. If that is the case, they will draft Tua
