Should the Redskins trade for Panthers WR Steve Smith?

According to the Charlotte Observer, Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith could be on the trade block, if so, should the Washington Redskins trade for him? I say the Redskins should do it in a heartbeat. The Carolina Panthers are a terrible team this year and the organization is in disarray. John Fox is finishing out his contract and most likely will be gone at the end of the season and they are starting a rookie quarterback, Jimmy Clausen, under center. It makes sense for the Panthers, an organization no where near sniffing the playoffs this year or most likely next, to get what value they can for the veteran and move forward with their rebuilding plans.

The benefit for the Washington Redskins is two-fold. First, Smith is under contract for two years, unlike Vincent Jackson who would have been a one year rental and was demanding a big time, long term contract. Second, it’s obvious that the Redskins need play makers on offense. Smith is unhappy in Carolina, and at the age of 31, realizes he might be running out of chances to return to the playoffs, especially with the Carolina Panthers. Smith only has 11 receptions this season. That is not an endorsement of his playing skills decreasing, it simply reflects how poor the Panthers offense has been so far.

I would imagine that Smith could be had for a fourth round pick. This would be a move that would be smart for the Redskins.

Better yet, I realize player for player trades are rare in the NFL but how about Albert Haynesworth for Steve Smith?

The Charlotte Observer article is speculative. It doesn't say Steve Smith is on the trading block. It just suggests players with value worth trading since Carolina is clearly rebuilding. It also tosses DeAngelo Williams' name out there. Maybe, it would be better for the Skins to trade AH for DeAngelo Williams?

Can he play Nose tackle or O-line?

The only person we need from Carolina is John Fox. Bring him here and put him in charge of the defense in order to kill two birds with one stone (second stone being preventing from working with the Giants as either a HC or DC).

Good ****ing god, how many players with a 3-year expiration date do we need?

Not to mention Shanahan DOES KNOW how to snatch WR talent(see B. Marshall, E. Royal, R. Smith, E. Mccaffery) from the draft and scrapheap.

If the Panthers take a 4th rounder for Steve Smith **** yeah I do it.

We don't need another small WR.. We already have Moss who's pretty small and fast.. Smith, although is much stronger than Moss.. I think we need a tall WR to win jump-ball catches to take some heat off from Moss..

I've seen Steve Smith win jump balls. Also, what is this obsession with tall WRs? We need playmakers. Steve Smith is a playmaker. If we can have him for a 4th rounder why not?

Right now I'd take a medium pizza and a 2 litre of Orange Crush for him.

Just something of note...
Carolina has released a DT just now/today.

Course,they wouldn't have to do that for a Fat Al/Smith trade,but they would if it's Fat Al for draft picks.

But this interesting none-the-less

Any players from Carolina are getting traded for picks and not other players. DeAngelo Williams would be an immediate upgrade from Portis...however still can't run behind a shitty offensive line. I don't know if I would trade for Steve Smith, kinda pointless I would say.

Car is rebuilding, their not going to even look at AH, what they need to do is see what they can get for Williams and smith now. I remember in preseason when some folks here said Carolina would have a top 10 D.. Peppers was their D, Beason is the only great player on the whole unit and he may not even be great .

Can't blame their D for them not playing well. When you are on the field 35-40 minutes a game as a defense bad shit happens.

Just a little more AH info. I know there is going to be someone say I so tired of the AH story.
