this is a great analogy. and isn't that article from FANTASY sports? the skins have done a great job this off season letting everyone know that they are interested in everyone. no one, other then the skins brass, knows who they are going to take

but the article isn't from fantasy sports - its a copy of a wash post article by Jason LaConfora who does a really good job of getting info. from Redskins park.

I do agree that it could be smoke & mirrors, but the team may in fact be offering Springs. That's the real "news" in the story to me.

Did ANYONE actually watch yesterday when the talked about the draft? It sure seems like they are most likely staying at 6 and don't want to give away any picks next year. The said they are going to be sitting there at 6 and seeing if anyone calls. Listening to rumors this week really means nothing, I'm sure Gibbs has told his team not to listen to anything, any player is always mentioned with the redskins. They say we like a player and all of sudden every news source says we are going to trade the farm for that player. I can't wait till this is over and everyone is just like wow the Skins actually traded down or drafted 6th and Springs is still here. Gibbs is not dumb he is not going to give away everything for one player, the Duckett deal was bad but they were very worried about the backfield at that point.

My point is that JLC would not report a "rumor" that we offered Springs. Here's the quote:
"the team has shopped cornerback Shawn Springs to Detroit, which has the second overall pick, again in recent weeks"

JLC would only print that if he had a confirmed source from the skins or detroit. so if its a rumor, its being started by one of the teams. We went through this before w/the briggs deal. Gibbs said it was a rumor but then both teams confirmed a deal had been offered.

Yes, Gibbs & co. want to keep everybody guessing but if the Lions were willing to take Springs (& some cap relief as we wanted Denver to) & swap #1 picks, I don't think that was just smoke & mirrors.

This is the 2nd time springs has come up in trade talks.
