Dre' Bly wants to be a Skin? That's What I Hear

[Schneed10]

I'm pretty surprised by the comments in this thread. My feeling is Bly is significantly better than Springs.

If Bly comes along with some picks as we trade down in the draft with Denver, and then we trade Springs for another pick to somebody, I think we will have:

- Gotten younger and more durable at CB.
- Gained draft picks to develop our youth and depth.
- Built an affordable foundation of talent, a much more palatable way to build a team now that average guards are getting $18 million signing bonuses.

Agree with it all except the point that Bly is significantly better.

Kinda sounds like BLY better get used to the COLD!

Let me ask you all if Springs wants out and will do a Arrington buy out of his contract would you do it? Also with Dre Bly if Denver wated to trade Bly to the Skins for our 6th pick in the draft along with Devers 1st,2nd and our 3rd from the Duckett trade woud you do that? JC of Redkin Insider feels this has a real chance of happening. Pluse a later pick in the 6th round or 7th from Denver. Also the Lions have been asking about Springs.

This would be a great deal. Even if it meant giving Bly a big signing bonus, it would allow us to sign several low priced guys in the draft. It almost sounds like they are willing to give it up "a la Cerrato" to move up to #6.

Could be a #1, #2, #3, #6, and a #3 if we also trade Springs... AND we still end up with a good corner in Bly.

I guess we will see...

Ever since arrington bought out his contract the players association has changed the rules so players couldnt do that anymore.

that's generally right. he actually gave money back, but i think you might still be able to re-work your contract to exclude future guarantees that aren't yet payable...

Here's a question who's going to be our starting CB's this year? I personally would like to see Fred Smoot, Carlos Rogers as the starters, because they're both fairly young, and if they can develop together I think they could become a premier CB tandem. Now the other question is if we keep Springs where do you think he will fit in? If we get Dre' Bly I think it will be obvious that he is our #1 CB so who is the odd man out then Rogers or Smoot?
I hope we make a decision on this Bly/ Springs trade soon so we can sort all this out.

smoot is a good #2 corner, not a #1. bly/springs are #1s (springs is better when completely healthy, bly misses less games). rodgers would clearly be the nickel back. he's a good #3, and on his best games he's worth starting, but last year he only had 2 good games and a ton of crappy ones, so until he figures it out, i wouldn't start him.

I agree with you, but then what does that say about Carlos? I mean we drafted this guy with our 9th pick, and he has only been in the leauge two years, granted he struggled last year but that doesn't mean he is not going to turn out to be a good starter for us. I personally think demoting Carlos Rogers to #3 CB is a very bad decision, and will hinder his development.

nickel backs play a LOT here. I don't think it'll be that bad, an we could see more redskin victories that way, so i'm all for it.

agreed... if carlos rogers is our nickelback, we're in good shape.
