It is a "win now" league but to take the approach that every offseason you must fully commit to winning that season at all costs is an extreme view. Under that theory, we should trade all picks in 2020 and 2021 and 2022 for players who can help now in 2020.

I cant remember where I heard it and it was general coach speak but it was either RR or Smith who basically said (through implication) that they are using 2020 as a year focus on what they have and need to have. That they do want to win now (like RR said in his intro presser) but the know its a process.

Redskins arent competing for the Super Bowl next year. They know it. Vegas knows it. I think a lot of people know it.

We have 200/1 odds next year, better than only Bengals/Jags at 300/1.

We have 2 offseasons to add pieces to truly compete.

I think he's got a longer leash than that. Look at how long Gruden got here.

because we should have reset it last year and we are again in a passing offense which features the TE...as well as we need some run blocking as well.

I think people are stuck in the mindset that TE is our first receiving choice. Terri McLaurin is our #1 receiving choice. While I would have loved to get someone like Hooper, to me it is not the end of the world.

I wouldn't mind Eifert, if he's healthy. I also would like for us to develop a TE from the draft.

I don't think its that at all...much like Turner's dad, the TE is vital to a producing offense within his scheme. Everyone know no free agent TE can match the receiving threat of McLaurin.

At this point Id go Eifert over Walker at TE...add another one in the draft.

Oh Super bowl? Heck no lol, but the whole "we are going to be bad" stuff may not be true.

Agreed, I dont think we will be bad-bad. We have some nice young pieces. I could see like a 6-10 next year.

If Haskins can continue to develop and we add the right pieces .. I dont think we are SB bound in 2022 but I do think playoffs is the goal. By 2023, our goal should be NFCE champs and possible SB contenders.

If we dont crack .500 by year 3 ... welp.

The dude is like pushing 40, maybe we can trade them TW when Peters goes on I.R.

TW is getting a reality check that no one is going to pay what he wants and will have to settle for less than what he wants.

If he was a FA he'd get signed in a heartbeat.

Maybe. From what I have heard, it's not been from what the 'skins have been asking in a trade, it's been more about Trent's asking price. In that case, it wouldn't matter if he's a free agent or not, TW's asking price is too high for a player who sat out all season last year and has not played the entire season for a few seasons.

Thought this was interesting.
