RUMOR: Skins Want To Deal Devin Thomas

[diehardskin2982]

any insider news of why things have gone so bad with DT?

[12thMan]

Total BS. You're telling me this guy isn't even good enough to get on the field all of a sudden. And for what, a seventh rounder?? What a joke!!

There are quite a few of us who knew from the start of this clowns pro career exactly what Mike Shanahan figured out even before the start of camp.

Devin Thomas is not a viable NFL wide receiver. It's just the way it is.

He damn sure looked viable last year against the world champion Saints and one other game. And how do we know he's not viable if ain't seeing the dang football field?

This is another case of a trade rumor that will not go down...in my opinion.

Why?
Value.

A year ago we could have gotten a 1st rounder for Haynesworth...now?...we'd be lucky to get a 2nd...likely a 3rd.

DThomas at the end of the year could have gotten us a 3rd or so....but now...due to the fact that he cant crack the starting lineup with the weak recievers we have...we'd be lucky to get a 5th.

Why is their trade value dropping? Because both have essentially been demoted. You trade your players when they are doing well, not after dogging them publicly or demoting them.

The trade value DThomas now has that is a bit suprising is his kickoff return numbers. If a team needs a #2, #3 reciever AND a kickoff returner, we may be able to get a 4th...
I hope the Skins dont consider anything less than that because his value on this team is at least that.

Of course, if we can get VJ for Haynesworth AND Thomas, that would be a good deal...perhaps the Skins are trying to do a trade that does not have us relinquishing any draft picks.

I am confident that is the reason we have not traded him to date. AND why we are going to keep him and showcase him a bit in the 4/3. SOOOO, if we are so inclined after the season, we CAN get a high pick for him..........

And just think about it, we passed on DeSean Jackson, Calais Campbell, and Eddie Royal, Ray Rice and Brandon Flowers for Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly...

In fairness, DT and MK were the top rated WRs that year according to Kiper

[SmootSmack]

We also passed on James Hardy, Jerome Simpson, Limas Sweed, Dexter Jackson...

[aceinthehouse]

From what I'm hearing,his head isn't in the game.

he apparently has done a video with fantasia and is all about wanting to be a TV star.

If he's not putting a 100% in his practices,he's probably ticking off the coaching staff.
If this info is true and he's got a lot going on outside of Football,I am totally in favor of dumping this guy for someone who wants to win a championship.

[12thMan]

All I'm saying let the man on the field and find out.

[skinsfaninok]

Yea screen to Banks was just dumb, DT may have made a better play IMO

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

As far as the screen to banks, asgood as we had our running game going why are you even trying to get cute and not just POUNDING THE ROCK UP THIER ASSES.

It didnt matter in the end so who cares.

[NYCskinfan82]

This is what I'd do start DT, ain't know one else but Moss as a WR catching Sh*t, he's worth the chance, Galloway please RW come one you can not be serious IMO cut them both bring up TA from practice squad then we have

Moss
DT
AA
Banks
TA

HTTR.

[SFREDSKIN]

At least promote Terrence Austin and cut Roydell Williams, what has Williams done? Austin will at least do something.
