Moss for Coles (merged)

[Schneed10]

From Mark Maske's chat running today from 11am to Noon on the WP website. Maske likes a Coles - Moss swap.

Los Angeles, Calif.: CBS Sportsline is reporting that the Skins are trading Coles to the Jets for Santana Moss. Straight up deal, with the Skins eating all of Coles' contract.

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.
