Rick Snider Tweeted that there's a report that the Redskins might trade for Miami's Ryan Tannehill before he's released. Why not just let Miami release him and then pick him up if you think he's going to be good? (BTW, I think it would be a dumb move!)
They can’t afford to take on his salary in a trade... easy to debunk this dumb rumor

BigHairedAristocrat 01-29-2019, 10:57 AM From a cap perspective, the skins best bet is to roll with 3 QBS next year:
1) Colt at 3M
2) Johnson, or another vet at a similar price
3) A rookie QB (hopefully not in the first round).
This way, we'd only be committing around 30M to the QB position (when accounting for Smiths 21M).
I know that isn't sexy or exciting, but its the most financially prudent option for us in 2019.

Yeah, this time of year, you'll hear a lot of "reports" that usually all wind up being wrong.
skinsfaninok 01-29-2019, 11:23 AM Do what Houston and Cle did, start the journeyman QB for a few games and then roll with the rookie

It would probably ensure that by 2020, the Redskins are searching for a new coach. Which, if the 'skins happen to "hit" upon one of the highly admired rookie QBs in the draft, then that might be a good bargaining chip for the next head coach.

I don't think anyone in this draft (who would be available at 15 or later) fit in this category. This is an incredibly weak QB class.
If we really want to attract a top head coach, we'll end this year with a terrible record and top 3 pick in next years draft. That will likely be more attractive to a new HC than anyone we draft this year.

Regarding #Redskins & Alex Smith, the prudent approach would be to defer a decision on Smith until 2020, at which time, they could do a Post June 1 termination, splitting the dead money over 2020 & 2021 when the cap will be 200M+ in both yrs.

yup...this year will be tough with the cap, but not some much later with that approach.
I think Bruce and Dan gonna be in tank mode this season...I think that's the plan. Bruce doesn't believe we are that close, I think that was very typical Bruce Allen speech...its gonna be tank this year...and brand new regime starting 2020. That's my thinking right now.

"Keep an eye in the QB merry go round, here.
If Tannehill goes to Cincy, Dalton could wind up in Washington."
IDK how this would happen but please NO

I'd rather just draft a QB and roll the dice. But absent that, would you rather see us go for a Ryan Fitzpatrick? I mean the options are really shitty.
