No I was trying to send them a note please get another pick!

I hope the deal goes through solely for the fact that this thread is sure to challenge the dominant SHFT thread for post count.

According to the Chart, this deal means you are giving away your 6th and the equivalent of a 16th pick for Briggs and the 31st pick.

A first rounder at 16 is usually a starter and pretty cheap relatively speaking in terms of the salary cap.

I don't think this deal makes sense for the Redskins.

Not following your logic on the picks.

If this is such a bad deal and only time will tell us. Why would Gibbs sign off on it? Still think another pick should be in the deal? Is Ian Scott the next Bear to come in if he is still out there?

If we have the cap room that would be a great pick up.

Note to self: scratch Schneed off the potential mod list.

Damn!

Now I have to begin proving myself all over again.

Fine, no ban. But if I were a mod I'd summon PWNED via the bat-PWNED signal.

The redskins franchise needs to take a few finance classes. Sell high, buy low. They do the absolute opposite. Snyder needs to go back to Finance 101. If this goes through, two seasons from now Lance Briggs will be worth maybe a 2nd round draft pick, and whoever goes 6th will probably be the mvp of the league. Id rather go after calvin johnson than lance briggs.

[The Zimmermans]

I feel like his ego overtakes his reason and he makes irrational decisions that go against everything someone would learn in school when it comes to managing the redskins. Cause that's what he is, an owner/manager.

[FRPLG]

Can we cease with the "and we keep a first round pick" BS?

Yes it is technically a 1st round pick but it is no more valuable because it has a special name like "1st round pick". It is a far worse draft pick period than the 6. The fact that it remains in the 1st round shouldn't mean it is infinitely more valuable than say the 1st pick in the 2nd round, which by the way happens to be ONE PICK LATER. I don't care that the pick is in the 1st round. I care that we are taking a 25 spot drop.

No offense, but it seems like everyone around here is a little testy.

[Schneed10]

56, just because I called you a moron doesn't mean I'm not capable of keeping this discussion civil. I don't think you're making a lick of sense, but I'm still willing to listen to what you have to say.

It's just that every opinion you've given so far doesn't pass any test of logic, and I felt you needed a little beatdown for not listening/reading others' posts.

When I hear people asking about Washington, in regards to this trade, it makes me worry. I worry because I can't help but remember the Duckett trade.

I could see us making this bad trade, simply because we want some sort of insurance policy for Washington. It seems like just another case of getting the wrong player for the wrong reasons (and sacrificing too much to do it).

Haven't caught much of this Briggs thing? Kinda caught of guard by this whole thing, didn't know we where in the market. What are we thinking about here?

Yes Briggs is a solid young LB. Is it worth the cost?

When I think of Briggs the first thing that comes to mind is me and I, not team. I'm not playing for Chicago this year, I'll just sit out? What kinda crap is that......your under contract. I'm not so sure about this one. Is there a problem with MW hip healing properly?

He was not under contract he we forced to stay with a franchise tag. I guess that could be argued as under contract but if he gets injured this year what kind of contract will they offer him in the following year? Nothing, and thats the problem with the franchise tag. I think we argue that our team does not take care of our players and isn't that what the Bears are doing.
