Well of course the Dolphins are going to say they're not interested in a trade. They have to at least pretend they want to keep Ogunleye to drive his price up.

[Big C]

never know these days

"The Times' Jody Foldesy reports that the Redskins are hoping to strike a deal for Dolphins defensive end Adewale Ogunleye. A source told Foldesy that the Redskins are willing to trade a first-round pick for Ogunleye."

This is from foxsports.com, is there any truth to this?? I thought we traded our 1st round pick already, but maybe not? Just thought you guys might want to see this rumor

we traded our 2nd for Cooley, but we still have our first

this is the chance to finally do something about our super suspect defensive line. can we really go another season without doing something about it? football is a game won and lost on the line, but the Skins have only looked at one side of it for far too long. we got Gibbs back, where's Mann and Manley??? (ok, no one answer that last one)

'Wale is a standup guy personality wise. smart, down to earth, the kinda guy Gibbs could really go for. lets sign him up long term (thats what he wants) and start purging our offensive excess (QB,WR)

i just heard the sports guy on the news say that there's big news for redskins fans coming up after the commercial so cross your fingers everyone.

[skinsfanthru&thru]

nevermind it was just about the preseason tv schedule but on the good side Gibbs will be on to talk before each game.

[SKINSnCANES]

really, sweet. Id love for him to tell us about where the after game party will be when we crush whoever we are playing.

Plus it will be a nice change from hearing all the commentators say how much is wrong with Spurrier and the team.

[MonkManiac]

From today's Washington Post:

Redskins Notes: Gibbs said the team remains open to adding players but is not pursuing any trades or signings at this time, refuting reports of a potential deal with Miami for pass rusher Adewale Ogunleye. "We're not pursuing anybody," Gibbs said. League sources maintain Ogunleye has not been made available for a trade and the Dolphins have no intention of moving the un-signed restricted free agent at this time. .

well. If we were to trade our first round pick for next year I guess we wouldnt hvae to deal with all this potentail hold out crap, or players not having an agent. Thats a plus.

yes! or deal with them being big draft busts, like say Gardner? Westbrook? whats our record for Dline first rounders?

Snyder finally got it right. pay up for NFL productive, well-charactered young guys JUST below the radar. this is another one of those opps and i'll stop sayin it now.

this is our first year w/o Champ guys, Springs and Taylor will hopefully cancel that out. our linebackers are all new save Scarrington, all starting from scratch. even with Bailey, we didnt stop enough offenses. our defense needs some serious DLINE love, and i'd hate to have to resort to and WAIT for next year's draft, which of course, is NO kind of guarantee.

i feel the offense is top heavy, we could afford to shed some of those wideouts from the Spurrier 'just chuck it' days. not to mention a certain johnny-come-lately QB. Can we cut him NEXT season w/o that cap hit??

[MTK]

I don't have a problem with dealing next years #1, but what is concerning is how much $$ it's going to take to sign this guy and the long term ramifications it will have on the cap.

I'm not ruling anything out, but if I had to bet I'd say a deal won't happen.

[SKINSnCANES]

At this point ill just wait for the long term ramification to occur and worry about it then. They havent happened yet and everyoen keeps saying they will. If we pick good players and they remain good players then its not as much of an impact as when we sign big players and then we have to cut them for being busts. Of course, recentlly, say the last two years, we have been cutting big names that were busts and seem to still be fine with the cap. Id hate for us to come up short this year and it be because we were missing one piece. I say while Gibbs is in town we work on getting a ring. We can rebuild later if we have to.

:headbange
EXACTLY. imagine if Joe Gibbs historic one year triumphant return was stopped by ONE (crucial, vital, fundamental) piece! i honestly think we are all pretty damn good otherwise

[SKINSnCANES]

So we all agree we just trade for him and win the super bowl then. Sounds good to me, its selltled. Ill start planning for the party at my house.
