TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Viking Rumor is that Red McCombs gave the okay to pursue Champ Bailey and Jevon Kearse even to the point that if Washington franchises Baily offer them our #1 this year, and their pick of of a running back off our roster. That is something a buddy of mine got off a Vikings website (sorry I don't have a link or anything). Now, I'm not trying to say this will happen. But, hypothetically, if the Skins could get Minnesota's first round pick and say Michael Bennett for Champ Bailey, would you be in favor of that move? I would. Discuss.

StevieInferior Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 There is a rumor that i am going to pursue J-LO now that she dumped benny boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Tooth Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 wow, that is some interesting stuff. What pick do they have again? I like Bennett. It depends on where their pick in the draft is though. I think we might be able to get more by franchising honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 "Their pick of a runningback off of our team" seems to shoddy sounding....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Tooth Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 yea, I read this wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I would definitely be in favor of that, even though Minnesota's first rounder isn't especially high. We could have our pick of Taylor or Winslow at the fifth and then pick up Greg Jones or a D-lineman with their 19th pick. Any one of their RBs would shore up our backfield situation. I definitely like it. We wouldn't be able to completely replace Champ, but Antoine Winfield or another FA CB would fill in nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Well yeah, NoCal...I have no doubt this is just like one of us hearing a rumor out of Redskin Park. However, having heard it I found that I would be pleased with that trade. So I posed a hypothetical question wondering who would make that or a similar-type trade. Sorry for the confusion, I'm by no means attempting to break a story as I doubt this rumor has any validity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 kt- again, i'm not trying to claim this will happen. trying to see who thinks this type of trade would be beneficial to the skins. i for one think we could insert bennett as a starter at RB, draft two starters in the first round and be well on our way to shoring up most of our holes....

goldenster95 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Ben and J-Lo have split again? When did that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC4 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 This is all predicated on the idea that Bailey will not be signed by March 3rd when the FA signing period begins Who's to say that now with Joe Gibbs here that Champ might not go ahead and resign before then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 NO. He had one good year. Champ has had 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OURYEAR#56 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I dont like it. If we trade Champ I want their first round pick for this and next year. Micheal Bennet is good, but he's injury proned. If we had to, I would like to peddle Champ off to the Steelers, or somebody. We shoudl trade him to an AFC team so he doesn't hurt us in the playoffs. But the Vikings offer would be ok. but instead of a RB, I want Kevin Williams, or Chris Hovan. Maybe EJ Henderson wouldn't be bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 If we gave up Bailey for a RB and a #1 pick we wouldn't be going after safeties and tight ends. We'd have a huge gap to fill in CB and you'd see that addressed first. There are a few good corners in the draft and we'd take one at #5 (Gamble or Hall) to replace the super star lost. Then with the vikings pick you could bet the farm on a d-lineman. I think it would be a excellent trade, we get a young good CB for less then bailey is making, a RB, and a d-lineman. All while saving money on the salary cap. If this rumor is true I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 let's see. Trade a proven defensive contributor (if a bit self-aggrandizing at times) for a running back that has been injury prone and a pick outside of the top 10-12 picks yeah, that sounds like a great way to start off the Gibbs era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAATopDogg Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Champ Bailey will be signed by the skins on the dotted line before FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kleese Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 This would be a no-brainer to me. Not saying it's valid, just saying I'd do it if offered. Assuming we replace Champ with a solid FA CB, this would essentially be the trade: Champ for: Micahel Bennett 19th pick FA CB I think that makes a lot of sense. Gives you full peace of mind to draft Taylor or Winslow, then allows you to still get a DL in the first round. I think Bennett would be a good enough starter for next year. And we could still take a RB as insurance in the middle rounds. Two keys: If we deal Champ, we MUST have a plan to sign at least a solid veteran CB. I think if we can work a deal that allows us to draft Taylor/Winslow and STILL get a first round DL- we pretty much HAVE to do it. I still Atlanta would trade the 7th pick for Champ-- as a matter of fact, I am sure they would do it. You might even be able to then take that 7th pick, and trade it for TWO later first round picks. Now that we have Gibbs, I am less adamant that we trade Champ, but I still think I'd pull the trigger on a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 at #19 you don't really know what you are going to come up with, the pick is too late to plan around. if Bennett turns up lame as he did last season then perhaps you get rid of Bailey, watch him make the pro bowl for the Vikings and then get no immediate return in 2004 at all and that scenario is not beyond the realm of possibility. BTW, I have yet to see any message boards or publications indicating that this draft is one of the best in recent memory, in fact looking at some spots it is as barren of top talent as any I can remember.

inmate running the asylum Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I think when Gibbs went on record as saying "its a safe assumption that Bailey will be resigned," that its highly unlikely the Skins will be outbid for his services.

spicunited Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 You could still most likely get any one of Deangelo Hall, Nathan Vasher, Will Allen or Strait from Oklahoma with the 19th pick. I would probably do that: Bailey for Bennett/Smith (not sure which one would be better) 19th pick FA CB or (DHall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Interesting theory, but they may have to give up more than that to make us go for it given how low their #1 is, how many RB's they have, and how important Champ is to our and especially our def coor's plans apparently. Besides, while Bennett (who we'd undoubtedly take) was a stud a year ago, his speed is designed for turf, not the outdoors NFC East. BTW, bulldog, I'm not convinced Bennett is "injury prone" just yet. He had a freak treadmill injury once. I'd like to see more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
