Dan Snyder says Steelers planned to move up to 16 | ProFootballTalk

Akeem ayers and a late 2nd/3rd (adds up perfectly according to draft chart) for kerrigan? anyday. woulda been sweet.

I disagree simply because I can't think of a single 3-4 NFL team with two impact edge rushers. I'm just not convinced Kerrigans impact would be all that different from Ayers (and I liked the fact that Ayers played LB in college).

Also I do not think we would have done all those trade downs after. I would have loved to have Marvin Austin (even though I doubt we would have drafted him anyways).

edit: sorry just remembered the steelers. but still don't think kerrigan is TOO far off from ayers. and I hated how we manipulated the board. We got poor deals in trading down and trading up.

The article makes it sound like we dumped on Kerrigan and only picked him because we could not trade back. I see the move as a way to pick up the much needed draft picks then a hit on Kerrigan.

What's weird is that SiriusXM says that Snyder hasn't done any interview since the draft. So I don't know when he said this, or if he even said this. But when asked for more information on this, Sirius just says "what are you talking about? He wasn't on"

It seems you're right, at least according to Steinburg: Dan Snyder did not say anything about the Steelers - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post

He also says that the Skins deny that there was ever a talk about a trade between the two teams.

Well, there's an update now on PFT

Dan Snyder says Steelers planned to move up to 16 | ProFootballTalk

UPDATE: Redskins P.R. exec Tony Wyllie tells PFT that Snyder appeared on no SiriusXM radio show over the weekend, and that Snyder has not done any interviews since Super Bowl week. King’s premise was clear; “Washington owner Dan Snyder said on Sirius Radio over the weekend that the ‘Skins and Steelers had a deal in place for Washington to trade the 16th overall pick to Pittsburgh for the 31st pick plus other choices.” King tells us that he was relying on Jim Wexell of Steel City Insider’s report to that effect. Said Wexell in a May 14 tweet, “Dan Snyder said on Sirius Radio this week that the Redskins and Steelers had a draft day deal in place, but ‘the player was gone’ at pick 16.”

Gotta wonder where Wexell got his info

Dan Snyder isn't a terrible uncommon name. It was just some yokel throwing out ideas and calling them facts (much like I am doing now ).

PFT and King arent worth a sh*t. Who cares

[ArtMonkDrillz]

Now I have to wonder, is Danny talking to the lawyers about this?

whoops!

King has also corrected it in his MMQB.

Wexell must have heard something from somewhere, I'd imagine. Curious how he's kept quiet

[tryfuhl]

PFT has stepped up their game quite a bit.

When I first read this thread title, before I opened it, I thought two teams got busted for secretively working out a trade while this owner imposed lockout was in place.
