If you could name a new owner for the Redskins who would it be and why?

What happened in a matter of a week or two that made us up our offer by $8-$10M guaranteed? It certainly would be convenient to ask Tripp, b/c he and I definitely agree on the way we overvalue guys.

I was saying it was a mistake to offer two first rounders for Chad, and that we never offered multiple 1st round picks for Cutler (unless you're counting Campbell as a first round pick)

Oh I see. I thought we offered our '09 and '10 1st round picks for Cutler, but Denver liked the Bears' offer better b/c it included a 3rd and a QB McDaniels approved of. Is this not the case? I'm almost certain I heard we were on board with 2 1st rounders...

I mean, Denver came out and said any team that wants Cutler needs to be prepared to part with at least 2 1st rounders, and we continued to stay in hot pursuit right up till the end.

I suppose there was a 3 way scenario in the works where Denver wouldn't have gotten both our 1st rounders, but I'd imagine what we would have given up (a 1st, Campbell, and other picks) would add up to the value of an additional 1st.

Anyway....
