Nah. I don't want to have 0 second rounders for the next 2 years in addition to the 0 first rounders we don't have for the next two years. Plus what's to keep Harvin from doing to us what he's currently doing to Minny? Not to mention the migraine concerns he's had in the past.

I think the migraine concerns have lessen because of a different treatment he started receiving last year. He played in all 16 games last year.

I dont think Minny would honor his request, but he is talent. Runs the ball, catches obviously and he would solve the kick return issue. Shanny would love this guy.

Really feel like we're already heavily invested in the WR position this year. Way too much downside on this for far too little gain, imo.

Completely agree. But I think it is a really fascinating 'what if' discussion. Just like the Talib scenario. Worth discussing, but ultimately, unlikely to reach fruition.

Insanity. Doing the same crap over and over expecting different results. Still after all these years of stupid trades and pissing away our draft picks, it amazes me how Skin fans can even mention "trade" anymore without having a flashback to all the stupid crap our organization has done the past decade.


So without any first rounders the next 2 years, you want to also give up 2 second rounders as well. Between you and The Goat, I don't know which of you I want to knee in the nuts more.

Before you give me the soccer kick to the family jewels, let me catch you offguard by saying I agree!

Seriously, I hate as much as you all do when people mention ridiculous trade ideas or FA signings that you know won't pan out cause of many factors (old, was in a contract year, etc, )


The reason why I mentioned Percy is he is a very, very good slot WR, something which we don't have. He is very young (24). He is very fast and physical. He can also run the ball which gives us another demention. I feel like for a first..NO. For a second, thats one that would sting, but pay off. For a 3rd, I'd do it without hesitation. It was a good thought earlier about having him on our team.

EDIT: After I posted that I read that Percy threw a weight at Brad Childress. So now I wouldn't give up anything more than a 3rd which isn't much for a player of his caliber. The Childress thing is wishy washy and every player seemed to hate him... but yeah.

hmmm i dont know and wouldnt send a 2nd for Harvin, but I bet there is a player the Skins would send.

Percy Harvin is the much better Eddie Royal we couldnt sign in the offseason. This is a YAC type, big playmaker.

Our FO has been working wonders with draft picks the last 2 years. I think we can get a bigger impact from the picks than Harvin. We're deep at WR already.

Griffin was worth ANY price we could have paid, but we need to support him now.

My hope is that Robinson turns out to be that shifty, speedy slot receiver that we need. All indications from OTAs and minicamp point to that assumption. We'll see once the pads come on.

That's an intelligent comment.

Robinson could and probably should replace Banks as the return man too.

...assuming he can hang on to the ball. Preseason was very rough on Robinson. I'm glad we stashed him on the PS. He needed time to develop.

[CultBrennan59]

Why are people talking about Robinson? He didn't even dress for a game last year. He'll be cut midway through preseason, as will banks.

I'm only talking about Robinson because the people that are allowed to witness the practices won't stop talking about Robinson. Same reason why we all talk about Minnifield, really.
