No Hilliard, they took him out of the deal. We get a 7th rounder for Barnes if he makes the squad.

I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this question. Will Jonathan Crompton revert back to the Redskins practice squad again if no other team claims him?

Thought another trade was about to go down, doesn't look like it for now

This trade ^

I would think a trade between the Lions and Skins would be forthcoming for Hightower wouldn't be totally out of the league of possibilities. The Lions are in dire need of a bona fide starting RB. Kevin Smith isn't going to get the job done as Jahvid Best is pretty much a bust. I wonder what kind of draft picks we could get. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd rounder(s)?

Hightower is less than a year back from his injury, Helu could be looking at IR, and that leaves us with Royster and a rookie. Why would we trade a back? A high pick for Hightower? Pass the J.

He won't automatically revert but I believe that we could choose to PS him in a few days if still unclaimed.

Oh, well if it doesn't happen by the end of this week I'll let you know. Skill player

And "big trade" may have been an exaggeration

Hightower looked pretty quick to me while he was in the game. Would shock me if the Skins cut or traded him. Now, if only they would "cut" these hideous mustard color pants and never bring them back.....

I think we would be lucky to get a fourth for hightower. Not that i thinks this trade is going to happen.

If the Lions make it worth our while why not? It all depends on Roy of course, but damn the Lions are in dire straights. A couple second rounders might be worth it.

The Lions have no backs Punch, I mean no backs. Kevin Smith isn't starting caliber, and hasn't been for awhile now. Best is a bust. The HT trade would be a gamble with Roy being hurt and maybe IR bound, but I think we could get at least a couple mid rounders for him, maybe at least one second rounder. Lions are not going to get to the promised land if opposing defenses can just concentrate on stopping the passing game.

Best isnt a bust, he just has serious concussion issues. When hes out there hes pretty explosive, especially in the passing game.

Jets trade for a RT Jason Smith...I don't know who this guy is...but boy I wish we did something like this ....just for the sake of doing it!

You bite your tongue. Those pants are a national treasure.
