BthatRAD09 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 On ESPN news john clayton just reported these things... 1)Taylor told Cerrato that he will definitely play out his final 2 years on his contract and that he said he could easily be willing to extend his contract. 2) While some on this board are bashing us for giving up picks, Clayton said that the redskins had prepared themselves with an umbrella for a rainy day, and that rainy day happened today when the two players got injured. We didnt sign many this offseason so we had cap space, and our ten draft picks in the past draft gave us youth. and he continued to say we still have 6 of 7 picks next year so it isnt like we are giving up all our picks. 3)Clayton said he thinks that the redskins will be a contender in the NFC east if the offense works out (which it will) sorry if this shouldnt have been a new thread, but i figured this is information that most people would be excited to know. so if i shouldnt have started a thread, sorry, but honestly, dont get butt hurt over it as its only one thread and it does have good info in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKM311 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Thank you for this and this deserves its own thread. This is a great move and the media recognizes it. The media hates Snyder, but some moves just can't be hated on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm pretty sure we only have five of our 7 picks next year...still, I like what Clayton had to say. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvkeeper19 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 John Clayton is one of very few people on TV who I actually trust when it comes to NFL news. Adam Schefter could take a lesson from this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruffylookin Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Still don't like giving up a 2, but if he's willing to play two more years (perhaps even a few more if he continues to play well) then it's a little more understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJ Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Our 2009 2nd goes to Miami for Taylor and our 4th round pick goes to the Jets for Kendall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 nice thread..clayton may be the nerdiest looking dude on the planet but when he speaks football i shut up and listen. thanks for that tidbit and i highly doubt zoony flames anyone, he isnt that guy.

MustangSteve Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I would take a probowl proven player over 2 draft picks any day of the year. Especialy when their needed like they are now. Some of the best players to ever play for this team was never drafted, they were traded off for draft picks or FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidFan Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 If we can get 3 solid years out of him, i'm happy....wish we did it when Daniels was healthy cause that run stuffer/pass rushing rotation would have been key...now we can have Marcus roaming the middle and covering TE's on 3rd downs.

pvkeeper19 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Next year we have 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th round picks. Our 7th is going to Minnesota for Erasmus James. I believe we still have our 6th in 2009.

dswerdlw Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 So, unless we get compensatory picks for Brunell and Caldwell, we're down to 4 picks in 2009 (1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th) right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ups Excellent point! You are the first person to make this very important point. Washington can now stay in as a LB on passing downs which means Blache can use him in coverage or blitz behind Taylor. That could be a devastating blitz combination. Taylor will be occupying two guys most of the time to free Washington up on the blitz. People are also forgetting that Taylor excels at creating turnovers with fumbles and interceptions....not to mention he often leads the league and pass blocks. Taylor has committed to at least the next two years...and maybe more. This was a good deal considering the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 For what we gave up, this by far has to be the best value trade we've done since 2004. Though in the past, giving up Bailey AND a 2nd rounder for Portis was foolish. Lloyd and Duckett, no comment...:doh: Third for Brunell... Though he's shown he's a good player, giving up what we did for Rocky, also random. Actually, trading a 2005 2nd rounder for a 2004 3rd rounder for Cooley was probably the best trade we've done, unless Taylor just has those monster seasons he's been known for. Here's to Taylor working out strong with us for 2-3 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
