Ya, this.

Except I think the deal would be a bit more attractive if you substitute Devin Thomas with a box of extra absorbant tampons. 1 box and the fourth rounder, and maybe toss in some preperation H so that GM in San Diego can quit being so damn uptight.

Maybe this is the reason they want to get rid of DT Eye Candy: Devin Thomas - essence.com

He's too pre-occupied being a beefcake than a football player.

You have to be good at your profession before you get in a magazine!
Thomas and Kelly don't get it. They came in to the NFL as rookies thinking they were stars. Snyderatto really ****ed up that draft.

maybe i am mistaken but that would leave us with three picks and only one in the first four rounds. for me thats no dice.

from what i have seen from this team so far leads me to think that as of right now the coaches really don't know much at all about anyone on the team. if i'm wrong why did it take so long to give lj the boot, why did it take so long for alexander to get a chance, and why the f is highway 74 still open???

all i want to see is devin given an opportunity to be on the field with the first team and see what he can do. there is no way is hell that brandon banks should be in the game when we are inside the 10 yard line, put devin in and throw him a jumper we have to try it once to ever know if it will work

Try telling that to the coaches who have seen otherwise.

who have seen what? great practicing from stephon heyer?? all i'm saying is how do you or anyone for that matter have the slightest clue what dt can do if in a game with the first team offense.

at this point there is no reason to not put him in there. all anyone has said about him this year is how hard he is working and going with the program. i think he deserves at a minimum the opportunity and if he comes in and plays like ass then ship him out. but you have to have an opportunity

Trading DT for VJ would be freakin' awesome!!!

We get a TRUE #1 wr...
DT goes to the AFC,where he won't burn our ass even if he becomes good..(which probably won't happen,if he's stupid and can't run routes)
Our offense becomes quite deadly by adding this fast 6'5" stud and our Offense is ranked #13th currently...(G.B. is 14th btw..)
and it gives us a true red zone offensive threat that we really don't have at all at the wr position.

With a WR core of
Vincent Jackson #1
Santana Moss #2
Anthony Armstrong #3
Joey Galloway #4
Roydell Williams #5
Brandon Banks #6

Gives us 5 of our 6 wr's can truly take a long pass to the house,at anytime...
This will also significantly open up our running game even more...

With those kinds of weapons and cooley and davis,teams will HAVE TO respect our passing game... Specially with a QB NOT AFRAID to throw the ball down the field.

Why are my fellow redskins fans getting all uptight about this D.Thomas situation?
Seriously..why?

We have a speed demon in Armstrong who's leaving DB's behind
We have another WR who's faster than Devin Hester and finally gives this skins team something they haven't had since Brian Mitchell or Darrell Green left...A true return man threat!
Not to mention we have a guy sitting on our practice squad who has shown me he has as much if not MORE potential than Thomas in Terrence Austin.
AND...we still will have another season to see how much a bust in Malcolm Kelly we have..lol
Maybe he steps up..maybe not,but i like our situation.

I would be totally fine with trading D.Thomas for a player that can help us now or for a draft pick next season.

I think the big reason we are trading DT, is exactly that, we can trade him. We need picks, and badly. This team has no depth to speak of in too many areas to be real contenders, yet. With the NFC East wide open, we can make the playoffs, but come time to face GB, Minn, or the Saints, our guys will be packing their bags to Maui. Our WR corp is still a joke, and I hate to say it, but it includes the newbies. Yes they have potential, but we haven't seen much from even AA, with the exception of that one bomb and a few more grabs. Yeah Banks might end up being a stud of a return man, but how is he going to be at WR? Austin is big on potential also, but why was Banks even cut, and Austin put on PS, if they were so great? Galloway and Roydell are just wastes of roster space. We should have trolled the college ranks for undrafted rooks than sign these guys. We need DBs and LBs, and maybe we can snag a keeper even for depth in the 5th round. O line still takes top priority, along with a NT. Any shopping of Thomas should include AH for multiple picks.

Really not sure either. The guy hasn't seen the field on offense so it's like like we would miss him at all. If we can find some value for him, great, Shanahan obviously doesn't see him fitting into his plans.

[over the mountain]

ace - i think people (like myself) are confused right now. The fans dont have an answer to why our 2nd round pick entering his 3rd season isnt even getting on the field as a reciever since toss-in players like roydell and galloway are getting touches.

I think we all want to know, just how bad can DT be in practice to basically be listed as an inactive. We dont know the answer and can only defer to the coaching staff's judgment on this.

Is it his inconsistent hands?
Is he still not preparing and studying the playbook like a pro?
We all heard praise thrown DT's way this preseason about his new found work ethic
He didnt look all that bad in preseason, granted it was against non-starters a good bit

basically, we dont know why.

i like others had hopes that he would our no 2 receiver this year, maybe catching 50+ balls with 700+ yards.

Oh well, simpson will take over at KR. See YA DT.
