Is this Danny/Vinny wanting Chad or is this Danny/Vinny/Zorny wanting Chad? I think I'd be ok giving up a first and a third for Chad if Zorn wanted him and thought he would fit into the WCO, but if this was just Dan and Vinny wanting Chad because he's the big name guy and they think he'd solve their problems, but Zorn wasn't on board then I probably wouldn't want it to happen. What if we did get Chad but he didn't fit into the system and wasn't able to be productive? I mean there's a slim chance of that happening but the possibility exists. I'm still hurting over giving up a third and a fourth for B-Lloyd, I don't want to invest heavily in another wideout and then find out that he can't be productive for us.
Well I think at least at first it was very clear who wanted CJ Vinny and Dan or vise versa. I'm sure either way Zorn would be on board, although he would and should have input (why would he not, this has been a main area of concern the team has stated for some time and get the chance to get an elite WR?). That is ultimately Vinny's job to bring in the talent as our GM/VP but a group decision with Dan's blessings.

And you sure can't compare CJ to Lloyd, CJ has a proven track record in this league of being an elite WR on the field, as much as I like or don't like him he is one of the very best at his position that requires ultimate respect from opponents. Lloyd for the most part was an unproven WR, and as we all know turned out being still unproven/no good, with a whole lot more cash in his banking account or a rich bust.

I have mixed feelings on this one, but the more I think about this potential trade if it where to ever happen (Which by the way I doubt it will) I would not have a problem giving up a late first round draft pick and next years third for CJ. IF the contract isn't crazy AND their are contract clauses that if he becomes an issue. I'm sure the Redskins and all other NFL teams for that matter have learned from the TO, philly ordeal.
