Like I said somewhere else, it's great to see a clear-thinking, rational GM step in and make the right decision for the Redskins -- only it was Chicago's GM.

The only thing I would dispute from Banks' article is that the Bears would say no to a trade that might work for them, because it was instigated by a player, setting some sort of dangerous precedent.

If they discover that it's a good deal, who cares which party came up with it? Especially when it's a player who doesn't want to be on your team anyway?
