Peregrine Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 So a deal that never happened and was never all that close to happening and was mostly wild speculation is now dead? Whoop-dee-do? Though I dont expect most of the people ripping the FO for this "deal" that never happened will give it a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U C S D SkinsFan Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 about time this deal is dead. it made me sick to think of us going after briggs...swapping the picks and throwing all that $$ at him. this is the most exciting draft ever, can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omeletpants Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Welcome the newest member of our team: Lance Briggs. Learn to love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins44 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The deal isn't over until you hear the commissioner announce our 6th pick. This is sorta like the game isn't over until fat lady sings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightAgent Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 They just stated on comcast that there still was a 50/50 chance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 I was mowing the grass this morning listening to ESPN radio and I think it was McShay who said the deal is still possible and it would include Lemar Marshall. I got the sense he was saying that if no one else makes an offer for the 6th pick, we'll make this deal. Also, according to Bram, if we get Briggs and another first round pick, we would have to cut players to get under the cap, so dealing Marshall would make sense from a cap space perspective.

scruffylookin Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Welcome the newest member of our team: Lance Briggs. Learn to love him. To tell you the truth, I'm so afraid of the Landry pick at 6 that I almost will be relieved if this trade happens now, as long as we address Dline with a prospect at 31.

hammerva Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 This rumor has died about 3 times and yet it still looks like it is a reality. Seriously Richie Rich just can't help himself being the center of attention. And they tell us that they value the draft. Please :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Is the deal dead or what, someone in the "Around the NFL" section is reporting that the trade may have already been completed. That would be crazy if when it comes time for the Skins to announce their pick, they say "their has been a trade". And everyone is sad because they think its for the Briggs trade. And then....... The Redskins have traded their rights to the '6th pick with DETROIT and for the rights to CALVIN JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskins81_0311 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The bottom line is this, we should easily be able to trade down 2 or 3 times in the first round and still get either Carriker, Anderson, or Branch between picks 10-20 AND pick up extra 2nd & 3rd round picks (guys that will step in a improve our teams depth, which we lack). This Briggs possability would be a disaster and show that the FO has no real plan on improving the team after what we gave up to get Rocky. Drafting Landry WILL NOT improve our defense. Our D-line is too weak which is why our secondary sucked last year, not injuries. Trade down two or three times, pick up more picks in the 2nd & 3rd rounds, and still get a great d-lineman in the 1st. That is the only scenario that will make us contenders for years to come. Look at the teams that are annually contending in the playoffs. The eagles, Colts, Patriots, etc, they all build through the draft. Not buying other teams stars. If it hasn't worked every year we've done it since our 1999 playoff appearence, its not gonna work this year. The Briggs deal needs to just be forgotten about.
