Yeah the fact that it's a meeting with Shaffer is a very good thing. At the very very least, it means they're giving long term negotiations the old college try.

Doesn't necessarily mean that they can get close enough to agree (though I still think they will) but it at least unequivocally means that they're going to try.

I think if you're the Redskins, and you know you're never going to come up in your offers, then you don't even bother sending Shaffer to meet with McCartney. You just get started on talking trades, and that would be an Allen / McCartney discussion. And we now know that it's not - it's a Shaffer / McCartney discussion.
