Why though? What have we done to make Shanny want to get out? We gave him total control, it appears Snyder has completely stayed out of personal decisions other than writing the checks, so what would be the factor in making Shanny want to leave Washington? He's essentially the GM too, I mean I know Bruce Allen has the title but Allen has never really been a true GM in the sense of the word.

Just listening to Theismann on NFL network and not hearing a ringing endorsement of DMac. He says basically that DMac played himself out of the position.

We're going to draft a QB next April. It's gonna happen. So I guess the thinking is that we're going to need a vet to bridge the gap while a rookie learns? Supposedly Grossman has a much better handle on Kyle's offense, and McNabb would cost nearly $13M to bring back next year. Ok, fine. But the way this has been handled is epic fail. A 2nd and 3rd round for a 12 game rental (to quote Czaban). Fail fail fail.

Can't argue with that really

Is there any chance that this move is being made to prevent clauses in the trade that would escalate what we owe Philly?

I think we would have had to make the playoffs or DM make the Pro Bowl for the compensation to elevate.

Nope. He does miss a game bonus if he's not on the active roster though

Ok, I read he was near career high in yardage and thought maybe there was some sort of escalation based on that. Thanks

On another note, Chris Cooley is frustrated, but it's hard to tell who it's with:

Cooley could simply has a high floor and ceiling. We're NOWHERE near the ceiling. Cooley should be used more. Is 1000 yds for a TE rare? But he is our #1 target, and 1000 yds for your #1 target is not rare.

Sounds like he's just fed up with everything... losing, having balls skipped to him or tossed over his head, and the fact that another coaching change has resulted in the same sad results on the field.

Like I said. All he needed was the opportunity

The only thing I see that will start to fix this entire organization is something along the lines of a Bucs overhaul. They dumped every veteran on their roster almost and built the team with picks and young free agents. Maybe we don't do well for a season or two, but we haven't been doing well for awhile now. I seriously hope they can do something like this, and I wouldn't be upset if Shanny was still here to do it. I can't believe the number of people that are saying Shanny won't be here next year. I would be shocked if he wasn't.
