I'm sure the Redskins are :rotflmao: at the thought that the Cowboys will have Drew Bledsoe as their starting QB. Just saying.As a Cowboys fan....YES! I love the Redskins shooting themsleves in the foot every single year!You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried!:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Um...why? Drew Bledsoe is a better QB than anybody the Redskins have?!?! Trust me, the Cowboys don't need a QB at all to beat the Redskins.
I'm a diehard Skins fan but I have to agree in large parts. You can't build a franchise on the checkbook of your owner! You build a great franchise via great drafts! Just take a look at what the Redskins drafted the last years, it's a wholotta sh... with the exception of 2 or 3 players. Sad but true! The Dan is the problem, not the solution.
Coles took a lot of shots at the Jets mgt and Herm on his way out the door - this is why you don't burn bridges. What goes around comes around! As for all the garbage the Jets for the Redskins purge.....this is why moves have to be analyzed a few years later (me included). Jets should send the Skins a thank you card for the picks and lots of cap room! Bradaway is looking better and better lately!I remember Snyder crowing about pilfering the Jets too so a big F you to him as well!With Santana, McCareins, and Cotchery?
I would love to see this. Considering he's on my roster for another year I really need this guy to be anywhere but Washington. All I can think about their offense is that Bangahaha video of Brunell not being to hit the ocean because of the Sea Gulls :rotflmao: About the only place I wouldn't want to see him is Atlanta. Vick just doesn't throw for enough yards. Jacksonville, back with the Jets, Dallas with Bledsoe chucking the rock, even Oakland if Porter goes - all great destinations. Even as a #2 across from TO would be better than being the #1 in Washington....The Washington Redskins were Passers and Receivers go to die.
That's true. I'm unbiased on this matter as I'm a Bucs fan, but I think the Redskins still has the better team with their defense.I'm sure the Redskins are :rotflmao: at the thought that the Cowboys will have Drew Bledsoe as their starting QB.

Trotter did the same to the Eagles if I'm not mistaken. I could see him going back.Coles took a lot of shots at the Jets mgt and Herm on his way out the door - this is why you don't burn bridges.

Look at p.105 http://www.nflpa.org/Members/main.asp?subPage=CBA+Complete
No, Galloway gets hurt and can't be counted on.Bryant had potential but that potential didn't materialize. Lavernous Coles has proven that he's a solid WR.He had 90 receptions last year and in the right offense still can be VERY effective.
"Mr. Coles, you can stay with us and make your $1.5million this year, then we'll probably have to cut you next june (after all the cap space is gone across the league) since you won't get that foot surgery. Or, if you give us back $5million dollars now, you can be out on the free agent market where your agent says you can get a $10+million signing bonus before deciding whether to have your surgery. You decide."
This really isn't a tough concept. Yes, LC could "screw" the Skins by refusing to return any of his signing bonus, but in doing so, he screws himself far worse. The only chance he's going to have of landing a decent contract elsewhere is by being available while the other teams in the league still have the cash to spend. That means being on the market early - not after June 1st. Anyone that honestly thinks they can land a worthwhile deal by that point is kidding themselves - just ask Antonio Freeman. He ruined his career trying to play that game. There's no chance LC is going to put himself in a position where he's playing for a big contract on a lame foot because he had to settle for a 1 year or short term deal in June just to "screw" the Skins over.
Hey just out of curiosity, can we stop quoting quotes over and over? It's starts to look ridiculous after a while.
It is conceivable. Anyone trading for Coles would be getting him at 5yrs/$18.5m, or as little as 3yrs/$7.5m before a big raise kicks in. I could easily see a team willing to add a $5m roster/signing bonus as part of a trade given the bargain salaries they'd pay him for the next three years.
Seriously?What's next? Denver trading for Clinton Portis?Edit: Yep, I see this is a serious story. Weird.
Noway does this hurt the Skins. This team is better without a player who wants to leave than with him. WR can be had in FA and in the draft. The Skins could end up with Plex, Moose, Mason or even Mike Williams. They also have third year T.Jacobs, who will play the second year in this system. This Coles guy wants out? Let him out. Skins have a stron D and will do better next year! Oh - did I mention already, I'm a Redskins fan?
All this (and more is to follow, of that you can be sure - Coles won't be the first surprise player of note to be gone before training camp. I put the over/under on shockers at 3 more before all is said and done) is simply Joe Gibbs putting his stamp on the Redskins, and building a team based on the old school team oriented, values based plan he succeeded with before, where success follows from buying into an ideal and working together as a team to achieve it. Call it 'The Redskins Way', if you will - it's been missing for a long, long time. Can you imagine what it was like for Gibbs to return to the 'skins? And possibly why he put it off for so long? I mean, he must have walked in and been in complete shock that the franchise he'd been responsible for picking up off the trashheap and turning into an organization that won on and off the field had turned into a complete mockery of everything he and JKC had built. I mean, working for Snyder would have been bad enough, but fixing something so horribly twisted and broken on top of that? Not First thing was to establish some standards and ensure continuity (building a firm foundation of the house before making decisions about the carpet and drapes), which is now underway with the coaching staff remaining largely unchanged for the first time in years, and the implications that Greg Williams is being groomed to take over the reigns when Gibbs eventually moves upstairs as full-time Team President. The Redskins situation as a team that Gibbs and Co. walked into last year (and I'm mostly talking about locker room, attitude, pride in team over individual, and lack of culture or identity), are kind of like one of those city-states the Romans used to have to deal with, where after taking charge, they realized the only way to fix things for good was to radically eliminate the opposition, burn the place to the ground, sow salt into the earth so nothing could grow there for years, and then start over from scratch. There's plenty wrong with the 'skins that needs to be fixed, and like most things that have been allowed to go on for far too long (there's a laundry list of examples relating to the liberal agenda in the US, but that's for the FFA), the only REAL way to deal with them is to eliminate them entirely, and build from the ground up. James Thrash = gets it. Taylor Jacobs gets James Thrash = increase in PT. Gardner/Coles = don't get it = gone = no big deal, because Gibbs will find players who, in a team based, values oriented environment will exceed their own abilities, and as a team, find success. After 2 years of being Spurrierized, and the constant turmoil that's gone on since The Squire's passing, for things to finally be right here in 'skinsland, it MUST get worse before it gets better - it's the only way......although I doubt we'll soon see an end to the ridiculous Purple/Green/Orange FedEx colors plastered all over the outside of the stadium...only when those go, and are replaced by soothing hues of burgundy and gold, will all be right in the world again...Yikes, here come the fellas in the white coats. Gotta go.
You and I are often on different sides of the political fence, Scooby, but this conclusion is spot on.
