No way in hell should we TRADE for a 34 year old LB who was a 3-4 outside backer. Didnt we try this last year with a much better player in JT? Id rather go with Wilson, Blades or MW than trade for Ellis. If he is released and/or Rocky gets injured then maybe bring him in...otherwise I will pass on him. D Brooks at WLB and Rocky at SLB would be better IMO.

Harkening back to last season, if the Skins lose two OLB's to major injuries on the first day of training camp, Greg Ellis will be acquired immediately.
Other than that, I'd be surprised...

Agreed.

When was the last non-draft day, divisional trade?
I really can't think of one. I doubt that it's done because each team would think that the other was getting over on them no matter what was exchanged.
Really though does someone have the history on that?

The only one that comes to mind was in 2007 when the Dolphins traded Wes Welker to the Patriots for 2007 2nd and 7th round picks.
EDIT- Just remembered that Drew Bledsoe was traded from the Patriots to the Bills in 2002 for a 2003 1st round pick.

So you are saying the Skins should never trade or sign a player who is a ex-cowboy because previous moves havent worked out?
Sometimes I think peoples hate for the Cowboys blinds there judgement. I actually think if DeMarcus Ware somehow hit the FA market some Skins fans would be saying I dont want that Cowgirl trash.

4. The Washington Redskins have a completely different plan for first-round choice Brian Orakpo than some people expected. At the Redskins' minicamp, Orakpo was used as the starting strongside linebacker. The plan is for him to blitz from the strong side on first and second downs. On passing downs, he will line up at right defensive end next to Albert Haynesworth, the former Tennessee Titans star who appeared dominating at his first Redskins camp. Orakpo was drafted to rush the passer. The surprise is that he won't just be doing it from a defensive end position.
