Redskins give up on Boldin&Chad/Miami offered Taylor to skins,but rejected!

[flexxskins]

Kind of sad that Miami thought to come straight to us to offer Taylor.

Although, we pretty much know how other organizations view our FO anyway.

Thank goodness we rejected the trade. Truthfully, if I were the Dolphins, I would have approached us too with the trade considering how gullible we have been in the past with good players nearing the end of their career

Dude, judging from the commentary out there in so many different sports sites, we're the laughing stock of the NFL. Way to go Dannyo

[ddub52]

you see? I knew they were just making these offers to drive up the price for the eagirls n dallas

[HoggLife]

I would be pissed if the Skins even thought of giving a 1st for Taylor. A 34 year old DE. Yeah no problem if he was younger but the most he is worth is a 3rd rounder.

[Oldskool]

They will drop back if possible into the end of the 1st round and take either Merling or the best O-lineman on their board.

WR will come in the 2nd round.

Book it.

[chaddukes]

Taylor for #21 isn't a terrible move.

You're right....It's an absolutely, dreadfully, stupid move.

[Darc Requiem]

Taylor for #21 isn't a terrible move.

Al Davis? Is that you? :doh:

[AAARedskin]

I would offer a second round pick at best for Jason Taylor.....

[bulldog]

Taylor is 32 years old. Trade for a #1 pick at his age? :laugh:

Parcells must really think little of Cerrato.

Nobody in their minds would make that deal.

[JohnnyUtah]

Man...I'm so happy that we didn't trade for Taylor. I've been dreading that announcement for a day or so now...

ha, I hope I didn't just jinx it

That's the way I see it unfolding too. It's unfortunate that there's no WR really worthy of #21. Trade down if possible, then Merling if available, then maybe Nelson? Sunday, I'm guessing we look at a CB to get things started. We'll also likely take a safety and QB, with linemen filling out the list.

Predicting the draft really is like predicting weather two weeks ahead.

what time does the draft start?

Are we allowed to start a thread for everyone to come say how wrong they were and how they are the stupid ones, not our FO. You would have thought that one of those deals were already done based on this message board. Now people arent going to have something to fuss about!

[elkabong82]

Looks like many need to tone back their hatred for the FO from the CJ trade. Taylor is still a good DE, but he is a player fast approaching the end of his career, IMO, while CJ has a solid 5 years left, IMO. CJ may have been a more immediate answer, but any rookie you bring in could likely be gone in 5-6 years as well. Anyways, I said the offer was too much for Chad, but still, going for an elite WR and passing on a once-elite DE are smart moves. Blast away.

Damn good news all around...keep those picks!

[blue03]

Chad Johnson will be a redskin tomorrow. No doubt about it. Danny Boy will keep pushing a trade until he gets it.

I think there is a 30-40% chance you are correct. Note to self: remember to pray it don't happen.

I've got my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen

[TheDoyler23]

Jason Taylor is way too old and Miami's desperation to unload him only hurts his value. He's worth a second rd pick...maybe.

[Hamilbone13]

At least we didn't trade with Miami. I would've seriously been pissed off in that case. I don't want another 34 year old D-lineman. Plus, he's only 255 lbs. Not big enough to go across from Andre Carter (252 lbs.)

Dude, although I wouldn't want us to trade our #1 pick for an older player, you can't knock JT's weight. He's the D-MVP...what's he have to prove?

[SC_RedskinsFan]

The way they are trying to unload him, makes me think he is damaged goods. I am so happy we did not offer anything for him.:applause:

[Titaw]

PREDICTION: Skins trade 21st pick to either Cincy, Arizona or Detroit for either Johnson, Boldin or Williams.

As soon as the post says they're not going to do it, they end up doing it!

[Jimbo]

Not sure of the parameters of the trade offer for Taylor other than they wanted our first round pick. I would make the trade if Miami threw in their 2nd round pick. The difference between our first rounder and Miami's 2nd rounder is 220 points which equates to the 10th pick in round 3 so it would be the equivilant of giving up a 3rd round pick for Taylor. As I mentioned in the other Taylor thread, Miami fans and most of the media would simply see us giving up our first round pick when, in reality, it's a pretty fair trade, IMO.
