method man Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 The dude is hurt half the time. He is only 250 lbs. In my opinion he is an oversized LB that is undersized at DE. Plus he is a liability against the run. There have to be better options out there. If we are giong to trade Coles, why not exile him to Cardinals for Boldin and a 3rd rounder? Boldin wants out of Arizona and he has low base salaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBlaze Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 No team in their right mind would give up a player of Boldin's ability AND a 3rd rounder for a hobbled and short WR who might get cut anyway. Boldin wants a huge deal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins4SB Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I agree about Abraham but I do not think we could get Boldin especially since Coles won't give some of his bonus back if we trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I think the Redskins should cut their losses and release Coles and recoup the bonus dollars as we can. I don't want to trade for Abraham and then be stuck looking at yet another player that wants a $20 million bonus. Haven't we seen enough of these bonus babies come through here and disappoint? Save the cap space, draft well, sign moderate priced free agents and continue growing with the young roster the team now has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 If we trade for Abraham, correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't we still have to work out a new deal with him? A deal we don't have the cap space for? That's the main reason I think we wont be picking up JH, among other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammino Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Abraham is a stuf DE, actually he is more of a Oversized LB in the mold of Terrel Suggs, who can seriously put pressure on the QB.. but depending on how much he wants, shoudl determined if we want him or not... or some picks/players instead from the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 If we get John Abraham, we would have even more cap problems than we already have and would most likely have to say goodbye to Smoot, Pierce, and probably couldn't sign a free-agent wideout worth a damn. Still want him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvoSkins Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I 'd rather get draft picks. Coles is worth a late first or high second. If there is a trade, it will probably be for draft picks. Getting Abraham would be like swapping one injured guy for another. I would love to have him, but the injury makes him unattractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Harris Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Originally posted by KingTaylor36 Nope, I say we get Reggie Hayward. Restricted FA what round draft pick that we don't have would that cost? i agree w/ the people who say build thru the draft. we have some good young talent. build around it.:soapbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottlo34 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Seems to me that whenever I see these "mock drafts" pop up, that the Bears are always being penciled in as drafting Edwards or Williams. Here is my thought.....package a deal to the Bears for Coles (I don't remember where they pick...is it 4 or 5?)...we get their pick virtually guaranteeing us Mike Williams, we get to keep the #9 pick and we then go after a stud DE or someone to replace Smoot. Unfortuneately, I get the feeling Coles has the upper hand in this situation and is allowed to say "NO" to a trade to Chicago. Am I assuming right???

Dallsux Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I know I'm going out on a limb here, but what about someone like Randle-El or Dante Hall? Are they available & if so, would they cost us a lot of money as well? I mean, I know at this point, EVERYONE will cost us, but will they COST us? I mean, is there a way to do something LIKE an even swap for another wideout or should we be looking at other areas, because eventually, we will need to fill the holes at WR & it scares me alittle to have to wait too long to fill those slots.

da#1skinsfan Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Does anyone have a link to Boldin wanting out of Arizona? I havent heard that. And Abrahams injury situation definitely is scary. In terms of Raandle El or Hall, I think thats the thought behind TJ Housh...the mid-level salary that could be a big play guy. Screw that. Draft one of the big 4, and sign Derrick Mason. None of this pansy ****. Lets get unselfish, classy, PROVEN performing "Redskin" players in here and lets start winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Could'a, Would'a, Should'a Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 1. no way do the jets trade abraham straight up for coles, so keep dreaming 2. coles isnt going to let the skins trade him while he forefits his money, the only options are to cut him or keep him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
