Maske/JLC: Gibbs Hints Redskins Might Trade Up

dmek25 · 03-28-2007, 02:48 PM

gmanc, good post. no matter who says what, there is no such thing as a sure thing. and this is the first time i can ever remember the redskins playing the draft game the right way. letting all the other teams think that they want everyone. does anyone, other then the skins front office, have a clue to who they really want?

Apparently a deal was reported on the John Thompson show that the deal for Briggs is done.

I heard that the deal wasn't done, and that the report was based on the Chicago Sun-Times article I posted. The article basically said that Briggs and the Skins had agreed upon contract terms, but the Redskins and Bears had not agreed upon trade terms. Maybe I'm wrong.

That's how I understand it to be too.

Honestly, I'm rooting for the Bears on this one. Of course, I'll try and see the silver lining if this does go through, but it'll be tough.

Here's the silver lining, the Skins trade out of a pick where they in all likelihood weren't thrilled with the idea of who would be available at #6.

In addition they pick up a proven commodity in Briggs, who is a 26 year old stud OLB in this league. All of a sudden our LB corps. that was a serious weakness last year becomes a serious strength.

And the cherry on top is we still have a 1st round pick to play with. I wouldn't rule out a possible trade back up.

This is of course all dependent on whether or not the Bears want to play ball and accept this trade. I've heard that they aren't interested in moving to #6 and having to pay the kind of $$ involved with that high of a pick. So we'll see.

I just threw up a little bit in my own mouth. The only consolation I have is that this year is the deepest for D-line talent that I can ever remember seeing. Hopefully a guy like a Tim Crowder, Adam Carriker, Anthony Spencer will be around at 31. Dammit. We are so dumb. We spend a 2nd round draft pick to move up to get Rocky last year, we already have Marcus, and we just gave Fletcher-Baker $25M. WTF?? Now apparently $20M guaranteed to Briggs? Did we really need to spend nearly $50M on linebackers in one month??

The only thing I can think of is that Marcus' hip surgery is more serious than anyone let on, and/or Rocky is not what they hoped...

Uh Oh. Like, offer completed, and tendered? Or offer, completed, tendered, and accepted?

Again, I think the offer to Briggs may be tendered and accepted. The offer to the Bears appears tendered, but under consideration and not yet accepted.

I really hope this deal doesn't go through ESPECIALLY if his contract is anything like Dockery's. I agree that it would've been too much money to give Dock but seriously, why couldn't he get that money if we were going to become temporarily stupid this offseason.

This organization is being flushed down the toilet.

The Zimmermans · 03-28-2007, 03:48 PM

I wouldnt argue with us picking all D line in this draft. Our offense is gonna be pretty good this year as it is. We just need depth on defense and things will change quickly

lets see what we'd have to give up to get johnson before we start freaking out
