Cooley being trade bait is merely speculation here....though it's not preposterous speculation

I just read an article on the Bleacher Report about a potential trade with the Steelers involving Mike Wallace and Chris Cooley.

Oh I'd do that in a second, but I know Pitt won't do that. Plus Wallace isn't a slot guy

Bleacher Report must be a parody website....

Might as well had read The Onion. About as accurate.

Pitt would be crazy to do that but I'd take it

He's completely off-base.

Bleacher Report makes some good hires (like Russell Baxter), but then they give a guy like this (who is an experienced media guy) that "Featured Columnist" title and it's all for naught.

But the MO there was clearly to go for the pageviews, and he succeeded

I feel like Bleacher Report has become the new PFT. Occasionally they have good insight, but if you hear something too good to be true from them it most likely is. I love Cooley, but I'd give him and a 5th up for Wallace in a heartbeat.

Re: Redskins Talking Trade with Raiders?

How exactly are we going to afford Wallace exactly? Did they forget about the cap penalty? He denied Pittsburghs what, 4 year, 8.5 per?

All rumors of trades has to take the cap penalty into account. We may not have been able to acquire a T in FA because of it, and the expenditure of Draft picks for RGIII may have impacted our abilities to acquire T's in the Draft. All of what I just stated may be as rediculous as the Bleacher Report trade, or positively any report from PFT, or BA may have just been yammering up the airwaves blowing smoke. But I'm sure it's a little bit of all of the above.
