Washington Reportedly Focused on QB Kyle Orton » NFL Gridiron Gab

I cant believe they want him now and did not pick him up off the waiver wire when he was released.

One league source said it was much salary related (Orton would have been owed $3 million for one month’s work).

They are basically saying that if the Skins picked up Orton he would be due 3 mill for one months work and Grossman would have been upset because he didn't get that kind of money.

In other words the locker room would not have been a happy place or so they thought.

Did you even open the link?

I was listening to Bill Pollian today and he said that RG3 is an incredible talent, that fits Shannahan perfectly. He also said that he is as good a prospect as Luck. His comments were that he can throw the ball 60 yards with the flick of a wrist and is incredibly accurate and that he looks like a ripped strong safety. It really got me excited. He also said there is no way he gets past the second pick. Who knows, if he thinks that way maybe the Colts will pick him and trade Luck to us. Either one, would make me happy.

I'm going to sound like an idiot (which maybe I've already presented myself as one) but how can the Colts pick RGIII with the #1 pick and still trade Luck to us (the Skins)?

The 3-way trade mentioned here before...

Something like...

Skins get #1 pick
Colts gets #2 pick and other picks
Rams get #6, picks, and Orakpo

Is that right? Wasn't that the idea?

I don't know how I missed this trade scenario because the only 3 way trade I have heard of and also read here is/was refering to the Skins, Rams, and Vikings. It didn't make sense to me and quite frankly although it was designed to sound plausible even this trade scenario involving the Skins, Rams, and Colts would not be good for the Colts. Their losing PM, they need a #1 QB top flight talent to build around and they would rather give it up and take the #2 pick?

RG3 could possibly fall to 6 but i feel like after the combine which i think he will shine in he wont slip that far

I was just thinking that maybe this adds creadence to SS rumor, that we give the rams Orakpo and the Colts draft picks and move up to number one.

On a change of pace, Peyton Manning is working out at Duke now, i'm sure many of you have heard already.

Bill Pollian paints a grim picture though of what Manning actually looks like these days. He said he isn't even close to his old form. Peyton also cannot throw to the left, and he cannot throw across his body because of the nerve damage he can't feel it.

Receivers also say that Peyton doesn't have any zip on the ball, his arm is basically gone.

Dang i can't believe he would try and come back and play if he is that damaged. I knew his arm was suspect after the surgeries, but i had no idea he basically has gotten no better over the last 18 months.

I guess this is the way he is going to be. Can't beleive some team is going to sign him if he is that bad.

Somebody that is more knowledgeble than me, would the Redskins still try and sign Manning if he is just a shell of his former self? (and most accounts have him looking that way).
