can you tell us what the proposed deals were? it would be interesting to know what value the Redskins and/or other teams assign to Jason Campbell.

Marlin Jackson signs with Eagles, according to Schefter.

Um...I don't remember what the rumors were. Campbell for a 3rd and a 4th? Campbell for Quinn and a 3rd? Something like that I think. Matty, do you remember?

LJ has 700 less carries that CP. He has mileage but you are right about the glimpses in Cincy. He averaged 4.4 for them.

The rumors were JC to Cleveland for a 3rd and 4th, or Quinn and 4th, or Quinn and a 3rd.

I'm not a Quinn fan at all, but Id have been fine with just about any of those deals if
1) Shanahan thought he could do as good or a better job with Quinn than Campbell, or
2) Campbell is definitely has no chance to be with the team in the long-term.

If Campbell's only going to be here one more year, we might as well move him now and get something in return.

I would do either of those where we are getting a #3 pick. I would probably trade JC for a #3 straight up. It's obvious Shanny doesn't want JC long term and the skins need to find a way to get a pick in the 3rd round of this draft.

I'd prefer Willie Parker to Larry Johnson. I think he'd be better in the one cut, zone blocking system.

I heard Pitt decidedly reduced Willie Parker's carries to get Mendenhall more, and it wasn't so much that he lost a step. Rashard was the future, so give him the ball.

In the last game of the year when the Steelers actually gave him a lot of carries, Fast Willie still showed his speed. He ran for 91 yards on 12 carries with a 34 yard breakaway run. True, the game was pretty much meaningless, but he looked healthy and like he still had some speed.

Thanks. I had forgotten

It appears as though some old heads are returning to their old squads. Randel El, now maybe Greg Ellis.


Veteran Greg Ellis is open to returning to Dallas Cowboys - ESPN Dallas

Was just gonna post that. This also means NO T.O. in Cincy.

So how 'bout those "T.O. one-year vet-minimum in DC threads"?????

Ellis will NOT return to Dallas. He got released from Oakland because of arthritis in his knees, plus Dallas has a STABLE full of OLB that are well below the age of 30.

Damn I was kinda hoping to see TO go to Cincy. It would have made for some interesting story lines.

Watching the game he looked strong. He could have done alot more damage to us. He looked strong and fast to me. Let me check those highlights again.
