More Dre Bly
As I've been writing since Sunday, don't rule out a Dre Bly trade...
Denver does not want to give Bly an extension, but the Redskins will....

Why did DEN trade for Bly if they didn't want to give him an extension?

Trade bait for the Skins probably

They didn't give much in return, as both Foster and Bell were big disappointments in Denver and there was talk of them getting cut. I think they figured that trading such disappointments would be worth nabbing a starting corner who could play very well opposite Champ Bailey. Bly would have been a great corner for Denver as teams couldn't attack either corner without risking turnovers (as both are not only great CBs, but also ballhawking CBs).
