Maybe we could trade Moss and sign Houshmandzadeh? Probably wishful thinking as Cincy would be pretty dumb to let him get away. I'm not sure there are any other quality #1 types out there this year.

Probably have to cut Jason Taylor to do so, but that would be the closest possible thing to making up for that deal.

I don't think Housh will come cheap, but in the current economic climate, you never know, he just might.

I think Cincy is that dumb, having Housh and CJ didn't help this year, and they could have gotten some picks for CJ.

I couldn't imagine getting a #2 for Moss. I would drive him to the airport if that were possible.

Housh would command top dollar especially in a pretty thin WR free agent market.

I think every team in the NFC East is going to go hard after Housh, starting with the Giants

Trading Horton would be pretty dumb. I highly doubt it would happen though.

I know we say it all the time, but I really think people play too much Madden. Some of these moves that people come up with are just ridiculous and flat out dumb at times.

What, don't teams go for it on 4th and 10 on their own 30 yd line all the time? LOL. :smashfrea

I don't recall hearing Blache saying anything about wanting to move Landry back. He could have moved him back in camp but didn't and when asked about it he said:

When asked if he likes Landry at free safety, Blache responded: "I just think he brings so much to the table for us at the free safety spot. He's such a force back there, being able to play the ball from sideline to sideline that I like...to have him back there, and until I can come up with something better or different, we're not fooling with it."

And during the season he always referred to him as his "angel" in the middle of the field.

I think with the way Horton played it would be awful tough to keep him off the field.

[Trample the Elderly]

Carlos Rogers - 2nd Round Pick
Santana Moss - 2nd Round Pick
Kedrick Golston - 3rd Round Pick
Ladell Betts - 4th/5th Round Pick

I could see that.

This is nuts. Not to crap on you GTripp, because I know you wrote this and are just passing on some rumors. But trade rumors are just that, rumors. And most the time there's either nothing to them, or they never get anywhere because nobody's willing to meet the ask price.

I might make all of the above moves if I were totally dismantling my team and starting from scratch. But for God sakes people, ask yourselves, are the Redskins THAT bad? Is the team as currently comprised THAT incapable of winning? Hell, it was only like 10 weeks ago that this team as currently comprised was 6-2. There's no logic in tearing this team down at this time.

The rumors get out of hand because Vinny says the team is looking to acquire draft picks, and so all of a sudden every player is being shopped (even the affordable ones like Betts and Golston). I don't buy it for a minute, the money talks a lot louder than any rumor.

No they're definitely not. Just your typical fan overreactions at play here. Everyone wants to play GM this time of year. Some would want you think we are the Raiders or Lions. Not even close.

I definitely don't think all those guys would or should be traded. But offseason rumors are always hard to really judge, primarily because nearly every team is doing their due diligence and floating names out there amongst their peers to gauge interest. I think the Redskins have at least entertained the idea of trading some of the names mentioned simply because those are the names that are probably getting the most interest in return. Betts, Rogers, and Moss that is.

If I were to guess, I'd say...

Rogers: Not a serious candidate to be traded unless they are blown away by a ridiculous offer. I think this is more a case of "how valuable is this guy?"

Moss: Most likely to be traded

Golston: If someone else offers him a better deal in the RFA market, they won't work too hard to keep him

Horton: Not going anywhere

Betts: His value is continuing to decline, so the Redskins need to decide if they are truly committed to making him part of the team or are there teams out there (Colts, Chargers?) that may be interested.

good quote, but i have heard other things. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. I am very interested to see what a Kareem Moore/Landry tandem looks like.

You would bet your future on a player kareem moore that has never started an NFL game at any position? Are you Vinny Ceratto?
