Give me a chance before anyone rejects this notion too quickly.
Bryant is clearly *done* in Cincy. They have the TO-Ocho Batman and Robin show and Bryant is an afterthought. He is either gonna be cut or put on IR.
IF, and this is a BIG "IF", he passes a physical and is ready to go now, I think he'd be a steal - and we could get him for next to nothing (reserve player, late round pick - perhaps a 7th rounder that goes to a 5th if he hits a number of playing/performance targets).
Bryant is a clear #1 WR STUD. He was picked initially over TO by Cincy for a reason and we were hot on his trail at the time too.
His salary is manageable - like FAT Albert, a large chunk has already been paid out in signing bonus, which Cincy will just have to eat. That's a HUGE component of the deal.
He's a prototypical McNabb reciever - deep threat. We'd have Bryant and Moss out wide with DT or Armstrong in the slot. Galloway/Banks/Kelly or TBD as back-ups.
Suddenly our offense and WR concerns are alleviated.
And so long as we make the trade performance based and he has to pass a physical, it's a easy WIN for the Redskins.
Ok - go ahead and blast me
