Portis, Champ, and Smoot

[Daseal]

I think we're going to end up paying Rodgers a lot more than we'd owe Smoot in the near future.

And it wasn't "a little more cash" that sent Smoot walking. The contracts were near the same, but from the rumored structures Smoot gets a lot more from MN.

Yes, he left for more money. Welcome to the NFL. These guys aren't Redskins fans, very few of them are. They are mercenaries and that goes for nearly everyone. I love how everyone touted Coles as a "Gibbs guy" and the perfect Redskin, now everyone hates him because he didn't like where the organization was headed.

The problem is this: we can't keep giving up our home grown players to spend 1st round choices to get (although more physically talented) unproven players at positions of need. Think of the options we would of had at the #9 pick with BMW available and no need for CB. We could have probably made a killing in a trade, or gotten a good WR.
