If you could name a new owner for the Redskins who would it be and why?

How about the deal they got back Dockery back with, or the players they ended up not throwing big money at-Hackett, Bryant Johnson, Elton Brown, that Willis guy?

I think they have a pretty decent balance going on. But I mean we have the means to at least be part of the discussion when it comes to some of these major players. So I think we always will be.

What part of what you quoted is a mistake? We offered multiple 1st round picks for Cutler and Ocho. Prior to free agency opening, Hall reportedly wanted $16M in guarantees, and we were reportedly offering $12-$14. And then we end up giving him $22.5?? I'm still scratching my head on that one. What happened in a matter of a week or two that made us up our offer by $8-$10M guaranteed? It certainly would be convenient to ask Tripp, b/c he and I definitely agree on the way we overvalue guys.


Hey I never said Danny/Vinny don't make sound moves (or non-moves) at times. I was just pointing out that they have shown, in SammyBaugh's words, some "Pre-Gibbs" behavior since he left. For the record I think Willis would have been a solid, cost effective move for a young, starting caliber RT.


I can agree with your last statement for the most part. However I still maintain that we overvalue guys, and Danny needs to curb his love affair with big-names to some extent. Nothing wrong with being a major player, just be a little smarter about it as far as money/draft picks.
