oh snap
a sure sign indy ain't trading their pick.
couldn't washington just start Kerry Collins this year and select that USC QB next year?

Poor?
lol
After trading away the foreseeable future, the Redskins will be forced to pay RG3 the maximum allowed by the CBA.
Think about it!
How do you negotiate a contract with a player who knows what you did to pick him?
There's a good chance his contract will end up making Barry Zito's deal with the Giants look like a minor abrasion.
And not a colossal sore with two seasons to go.

and this years second round pick too
If you can make the leap from how well Steve Smith did with his rookie last season
it's not too difficult to imagine Santana Moss having similar success.

That's not how the CBA works anymore. It's very tightly slotted.
Personally, I think the Redskins and their fans could use a bit of excitement and hope. They have some cap room for free agency. The Shanahan clan bought a few years. Daniel Snyder likes sizzle. I think it's a fit. And sometimes, you have to pay the price to go all in. People are always like "you can't trade draft picks!" but the Saints once traded their entire draft and their one the next year. First round draft picks miss as often as they hit. Big deal.

said, "maximum allowed by CBA".
five year guarantee easy or RG3 can just sit a year and let the 'Skins choke on it.
But that won't happen.
Washington will pay much wompum and be more than ok with it.
First round picks don't miss nearly as often as they hit when compared to other rounds.
First round misses generally occur when they bet the farm or rely to heavily upon that single pick.
I just thankful it's the Rams getting healthy and not a team I really can't stand that would actually do something with those picks.
are you the Jackson who once wore an avatar of this Opus on another fantasy sportsboard wire?
if so, long time no see

Rookie Cap sure drove up the price of the draft picks
So, now it is just Manning and Flynn left. Interesting

Yeah, that's me. Used to own the Bloom County Babylonians in the SUDFFL, but sold them to Donald Trump. Did you have a different user name back then?
You know, as I've thought about it, I'm pro-Redskins on this trade. Kerrigan, Williams, and Orakpo have all been good selections the last three years. You know why they've been a disaster, landing in the top 10 all three years? Their quarterbacks. It's time to swing for the fences on the position that matters most. Have they really had a stud QB since Mark Rypien? Griffin could very well be the guy. It's not a guarantee, but nothing is.
The Rams could make out very well, but Les Snead hasn't been a GM yet, so we don't know how he drafts. Besides the Cowboys, who's the last team to take a big bushel of draft picks and turn them into Super Bowls? Although, to be fair, I can't remember the last time a team got three selections for one guy.
The big loser, as I see it, is the Cleveland Browns. I would CERTAINLY trade Phil Taylor, Joe Haden, Alex Mack, and Brady Quinn for Robert Griffin III. Both the Browns and Redskins had cap space for veteran free agent WRs, and the Browns already had a franchise left tackle. Plus, if they had dealt their next 3 picks, they'd be through paying next year, instead of Washington's 2014. Holmgren played this too conservatively, in my opinon.

Jackson, this will be a good thing for the Redskins because they are a QB away(and a head coach imo) away from making the playoffs. I just think the Rams got the better deal on this one. I think in the long term the Skins might have given a little too much. I am hoping for big things from Helu next year.
:OMG: Snyder has finally dropped off the deep end. :xpuke: on this deal
