Springs for Bly trade offered
 

Adam Schefter just reported on NFL Total Access that the Skins offered to trade Springs to Denver for Bly, but Denver said they wanted Betts, and we turned it down. Thank GOD!!!!

JaLa reported this on Sunday. Schefter is behind the times. Old news.

Yeah that would have been a dumb move... Glad the redskins turned it down.

NO WAY! I would never give up BETTS for BLY, because it would never be an even swap to begin with.
This two back system is just what the DR. ordered. I'm NOT big on BLY, he's already unhappy in Denver???? He's looking to cash in!
Then how long before he's UNHAPPY IN DC?

I'll PASS ON BLY. Betts is first class, and a true REDSKIN!

i agree 95 percent i would trade springs for bly but why the hell would they want betts they just signed travis henry

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

If they tossed in a 2nd or 3rd I'd consider that trade.

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

no trade... I think this team has all they need if they pick up branch, and a gaurd after june 1st.

do you want them to trade betts too????????????? cause i dont

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

They wanted depth at running back which is why we shouldn't trade Betts away. If Springs is healthy, I'd just assume keep Springs and move him to safety.

I know we had a few people restructure contracts to free up cap space but I thought a Springs restructure was a must.

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

Denver knows we are suckers for them and have gave them players and always get somewhat the short end of the deal. Good thing it did not happen again. What are we coming to?

i hope we trade that old money guzzling fart he is like herpes he just wont go away

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

I just don't see all the hoopla over Bly...I really don't.

Please keep your unhappy a** in Denver.

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

I think some people are weary of a Smoot-Rogers-Jimoh-???? secondary -- and with good reason, I might add.

Especially if Springs is really clawing to get out of here.

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

Who is saying that Springs wants out of here? He is still our best cover corner. He needs to be here and, I hope he wants to be here. Hopefully he will be a team guy and restructure some. If he doesn't, we are screwed. We have shit for draft picks. Our focus needs to be defensive line. One that can create all kinds of havoc and terror. Right now we have two serviceble guys there now.

That seems a bit extreme but whatever.

I wonder if Saunders has put in a good word for Bly from their days together in St. Louis?

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

springs for picks, and then using those picks for bly, okoye, an OL, and possibly a 2nd DL guy would make a good offseason great.

I don't want to see a pick on high risk/reward gambles such as adams (tiny) or branch (lazy, no good on pass rush), when you can get smart guys that can still start and have more upside like okoye or carriker. i still haven't found good tape on anderson, so while his stats and measureables look nice, there's not a long track record or film i can really judge him on :/.

He was on the John Thompson show on Monday and said that it was up to the team whether he was back next year. He is training in Arizona right now as if he were going to be here next year.

ok i am about to get my first authentic jersey who should i get sean taylor, santana moss, clinton portis, or chris cooley

and i think we should get bly some of the best hands in the nfl as far as corners

No freakin way! Trading for a corner that's in his 30's with a bad attitude makes no sense. Betts is a young promising back who's a team player. Plus we need the quality depth behind CP.

Please Skins - THINK!!! We have spent too many years buying too many no good "think they are too good" losers! Please keep the core guys!!!! FOR ONCE!

To Core guys.

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

heres where i agree with people, keeping the core guys. however, i love betts as much as anyone, but i would 100 percent trade him for two picks or dre bly. i wouldnt trade betts and springs, just betts. here is my reasoning, RB are a dime a dozen, you can get a capable running back in almost any round of the draft. as key as the running back position is in football it also the easiest to find a player at. betts would be easily replaced talent wise. to trade betts for a top 5 maybe top 10 corner is a no brainer. corner is the hardest position to find in profootball. if you put springs and bly at corner, you give your defense an extremely large advantage at dictating the game. rodgers is a bust in my mind because he doesnt know how to play corner...hence hes always ten yards off the ball like a scared dog. but throw smoot in to be a backup and third corner, now you really can do some stuff up front to open up the pass rush and bring one of you safeties in the box more to help the run. betts for bly makes too much sense if you ask me.

Bly is interested in gettin an extension (which washington told him he would get if he came here, b4 the Lions traded him) Hes also from Chesapeak, VA and would love to be closer to his family. Denver is not going to extend his contract which is up after this season so essentially its the same reason Lance Briggs is holding out. If he gets hurt bad, they cut him and his value dropps, or he get hurt and his career is over. denver can just wash their hands of him. He wants that security in knowing he will be taken care of if something were to happen to him. Makes sense to me. Besides he is a top tier corner, not elite. But he is up there.

Get Cooley, safest bet to be a life long skin

Please dont trade for Bly, were dealing with Denver here, they will figure out a way to finagle all our picks out of us for the next ten years

Re: Springs for Bly trade offered
 

Denver's gotta be licking their chops at the prospect of trading with the Skins.

The Skins are in the drivers seat as far as trading with Denver goes. The Broncos are the ones trading up, have you seen the deal that was on the table?? The Skins are looking at picking up at least 2 picks in addition to moving down.

The Skins may be in the driver's seat but considering how they have handled trades lately I am almost certain they will wreck the car.
