Kurd Cudins Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm STRAHAN TO THE 'SKINS? There's talk at the scouting combine in Indy that Giants defensive end Michael Strahan wants to become a member of the Washington Redskins. On the surface, the chances of the Giants trading Strahan within the division seem to be remote at best. But, as the rumor goes, Strahan is prepared to be difficult in the locker room if the team won't let him leave. The presumed motivation? Money. Strahan had a lot of it. Last month, he was ordered to give a lot of it to his ex-wife. And the Redskins are always willing to overpay. Especially at a time when the free-agent market doesn't contain many high-end performers at the position. For the Giants, moving Strahan could be a short-term curse but a long-term blessing. The team has been dysfunctional for several years, and the continued presence of guys like Strahan has not helped the situation. At all. With TiVi Barber and LaVar Arrington and Luke Pet-a-goat already gone, it makes sense (in our view) to continue to clear out the chronic malcontents. Like Strahan. And Plaxico Burress. And Jeremy Shockey. Strahan, 35, is under contract with the Giants for the next two seasons, at salaries of $4 million per year. He missed seven games due to injury in 2006. I don't even know what to think about this. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Deadman Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 An old rumor that is not happening.......if I remember correctly(when this was mentioned a month or so ago) even PFT said it was speculation alone and not an "NFL insider".

Bliz Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htmI don't even know what to think about this. Discuss. ridiculous. I think they make up and post whatever absurd scenario comes to mind, calling it a rumor because once its on their board it becomes just that. Never ever happen in a million years.

BigRay Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 It's no surprise gentlemen look at our history since Synder bought the team. We go after big name players some that are past their prime and pay them a truckload amount of money. So why not Strahan even if it is a rumor.

Troy Fakeman Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 For the love of God - can we just stop swapping players with the damn Giants?? I don't want an old busted DE...who played half a season last year. Additionally...we would end up paying the donkey a lot of $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 ridiculous. I think they make up and post whatever absurd scenario comes to mind, calling it a rumor because once its on their board it becomes just that. Never ever happen in a million years. that is my logic. PFT just throws out soo many random pointless crap ideas that some are bound to be true. They just cover themselves by saying "rumor". That way, the true ones, they can say they scooped others and get people to subscribe to them. I say they just throw out whatever little credibility they have left and become an Onion like site for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 I don't know, based on the fact we have not spoken to either DE about restructuring and that DE is easily the best and deepest position in the draft, this could be a distinct possibility. We could be bringing in Strahan to mentor a young stud. I just hope he's not another Bruce Smith, who's sole goal was personal records. I don't want this, but it will be an upgrade for us.

RedskinzOwnU Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 absolutely not. he's not good anymore, he can't stay on the field, he only wants money, and we don't do that anymore. oh and he's too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 its a fact strahan is just trying to get paid. his ex wife pwned him hard on their divorce and i think he had to give her half. thats painful. Ah PFT - the Weekly World News of the NFL. Really, they sit back, and fling poo against the wall and see what sticks. As far as Strahan is considered, he is old, beat up, wants to get paid a la Bruce Smith, is a locker room cancer, and prefers the company of men - not that there's anything wrong with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Worthy Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 With PFT all you have to do is add the word "money" with any players regardless of draft, free agent, trade, disgrunted, and they will put the Redskins in the article and post it like its the Constitution.
