Ramsey to Dallas?

Patrick Ramsey By Mike Fisher

TheRanchReport.com

Date: Feb 26, 2006

In addition to the Redskins seeking a swap for Ramsey, they are also ALLOWING him and Sexton to forge their own deal. And when Jimmy Sexton tries to cut a deal for his clients, where does he go? Dallas.

*********************************************

He's in BUSINESS with Jimmy Sexton. In business with him every day. In contact with him every day. No lunch meetings are necessary. Heck, Parcells and Sexton probably don't even need to communicate in traditional ways. I bet they can finish each others sentences, like an old married couple. I bet they even have a mental-telepathy thing going. The Memphis-based Sexton is Parcells' long-time friend and long-time agent and oh by the way Sexton, just like Rosenhaus (only more quietly) happens to represent some players, too.

Remember in "All The President's Men,'' when Deep Throat told Watergate investigator Bob Woodward to "Follow the money''? When I track football rumors, I tend to "Follow the connections.''

*****************************************

This spider web of connections isn't as obvious as a "private'' lunch meeting that was so "private'' that it was quickly reported on by every media outlet in D/FW; but its subtlety is belied by the two big ol' spiders in charge of the spinning:

Spider Parcells. And Spider Sexton.

*****************************************

So the quarterback options -- assuming that Dallas is finally realizing the errors of its ways in going through two full seasons without a viable backup or a viable prospect at the position -- are multiplying.

And so is the spider-webbish connection to one more name.

Last week, I mentioned the Redskins' Patrick Ramsey. He's stuck in D.C. limbo between starter Mark Brunell and future Jason Campbell. What I said of the former No. 1 pick is that he has talent, experience, youth and upside.

Now, with coach Joe Gibbs admitting to the media that Ramsey is the subject of trade talks, it seems Patrick Ramsey has more than just talent, experience, youth and upside.

He also has Jimmy Sexton as his agent.

"We're kind of working with Jimmy Sexton and Patrick," Gibbs said this weekend. "I think we're just kind of moving ahead, trying to see what opportunities are out there for him and also to evaluate what's best for us. I'm not sure anything will get done. But we are looking and we're letting them also look and talk, so we're just going to see."

Got it? In addition to the Redskins seeking a swap for Ramsey, they are also ALLOWING him and Sexton to forge their own deal. And when Jimmy Sexton tries to cut a deal for his clients, where does he go?

Dallas.

*****************************************

If Culpepper is only worth a 2 (an insanely low price, I think, for someone who when healthy is capable of Peyton Manning-like production), Ramsey can be had on the cheap. With the draft looming, teams greatly value (even over-value) picks. So Washington would likely salivate over dumping a QB who is not in their plans in exchange for a mid-round selection.

Book it: The Cowboys and Redskins are talking about trading Patrick Ramsey to Dallas. And I don't need to see Parcells breaking bread with an agent to know it.

After all, why do Parcells and Sexton need to go to lunch when they're in bed together?

I think the Redskins front office is wise enough to not make a deal with their bitter rival, and I'll give Dallas credit for not being dumb enough to take a QB that we knew every little weakness about. I highly doubt this trade goes through.

Also, any mods out there up for changing the title of the thread, a little miss leading.

I like Ramsey, but if he sports the Star, send Taylor on a weakside blitz over and over and over. He'll throw a pick eventually. We know that.

nah, you need Taylor out in the secondary to pick Pat off after he stares down his receivers. Send Arrington and Washington at him;).

He struggles to A) read the blitz and B) get rid of the ball quickly. Our D would be licking its chops.

The first thing I noticed when Ramsey came in to replace Brunell in the second game versus the Giants, was that he was getting rid of the ball much earlier than he used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised by this fact. So at least he learned something this year as Brunell's understudy.

He still has a tremendous amount of upside, believe it or not, which is why we need to demand a higher pick, not to mention that he is also very fresh and hasn't had any injuries.
