Like Shawn Springs? Clinton Portis? Santana Moss? Marcus Washington?

I will give you Marcus Washington because he has done better.

Heck Id even give you Clinton Portis although his two best seasons were with Denver and the fact that the Skins gave away the best corner in the NFL which is not exactly bright could have turned out worse. Has Clinton been worth the trade? Can someone give me an honest answer. hmm that would be a good topic.

Shawn Springs played decent from what I have seen, but his career never bloomed like the hype that he received coming out of Ohio.

Santana Moss good first year nothing tooo huge afterwards, but he is not a disappointment.

Did that trade hurt us? I would say in all fairness that the trade has worked out pretty even for both sides.

Clinton has absolutely been worth the trade, but it's been discussed ad nauseum here already so I won't rehash it

Re: Scouts Inc. On Jason Taylor

The Redskins didn't "give" Bailey away. He had made it explicitly clear that he had no intention of re-signing with the Skins when his deal was up. He had to be traded or they would get nothing. It came down to Portis and Shaun Alexander. Think they made the right choice?

I always hated that we traded Bailey & gave them a 2nd round pick! However, CP is a leader & does more than run the ball, he's the heart of the offense.

as others have said, the Taylor deal is one that makes sense. It doesn't compare to those terrible moves of the past, but given the skins 21st century history, I can see why anyone would point out what you did.

The trade it should be compared to is the TJ Duckett deal in 06, that was a knee jerk reaction to an injury concern. Duckett never even started, whereas Taylor is replacing a starter & is younger than the guy he's replacing, plus a big upgrade in the pass rush.
