Re: Moss for Coles?

All things considered, it doesn't seem like a bad deal if it goes through.

Mark Maske: When the Redskins drafted Rod Gardner, Dan Snyder wanted Santana Moss but Marty Schottenheimer wanted Gardner. That's one where Snyder was right. If they could get Santana Moss for Laveranues Coles, under the current circumstances, that would be a very good trade for the Redskins, I think.

And I think Matty's right in a way, getting something out of this Coles fiasco is better than nothing. And I said this in another thread, they may eat a big cap hit now, but next year looks a lot better than it did before.
The Snyder aspect is interesting because it inevitably leads to the question of how much of this was Snyder wanting to finally get Santana Moss

I don't think it's a bad move really. I might have held out a bit longer to see if any other better offers came along but time is a factor with that bonus for Coles set to kick in on Monday I believe
