I might make all of the above moves if I were totally dismantling my team and starting from scratch. But for God sakes people, ask yourselves, are the Redskins THAT bad? Is the team as currently comprised THAT incapable of winning? Hell, it was only like 10 weeks ago that this team as currently comprised was 6-2. There's no logic in tearing this team down at this time.
The rumors get out of hand because Vinny says the team is looking to acquire draft picks, and so all of a sudden every player is being shopped (even the affordable ones like Betts and Golston). I don't buy it for a minute, the money talks a lot louder than any rumor.

I definitely don't think all those guys would or should be traded. But offseason rumors are always hard to really judge, primarily because nearly every team is doing their due diligence and floating names out there amongst their peers to gauge interest. I think the Redskins have at least entertained the idea of trading some of the names mentioned simply because those are the names that are probably getting the most interest in return. Betts, Rogers, and Moss that is.
If I were to guess, I'd say...
Rogers: Not a serious candidate to be traded unless they are blown away by a ridiculous offer. I think this is more a case of "how valuable is this guy?"
Moss: Most likely to be traded
Golston: If someone else offers him a better deal in the RFA market, they won't work too hard to keep him
Horton: Not going anywhere
Betts: His value is continuing to decline, so the Redskins need to decide if they are truly committed to making him part of the team or are there teams out there (Colts, Chargers?) that may be interested.
