Didn't Doug Flutie do that first?

Wouldn't surprise me if a trade is made on Monday, especially if Manning does make his decision on Monday. If we're able to hold firm and not move our #2 to get RG3 that would be outstanding.

Still hearing that Manning has not ruled the Redskins out, but Dolphins are pretty much in the driver's seat.

I'm thinking Miami will most certainly have him by Monday.

Who do you think we would trade for on Monday? Or at least what position?

All of Flutie's passes were jump passes because he was only 2'6" tall.

Yea..... That's kinda what I thought I said. What I heard the Browns want

2012: 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
2013: 1st, and either 3rd or 4th.

The Skins balked because they frowned on giving up the 2nd round pick which they hope to pick up a draft pick in. Unless the Browns lower their standards I just don't foresee RGIII here.

Just meant a Rams trade in general (though most would assume it's with the Redskins).

I don't think (my opinion) losing Manning would compel the Redskins to up their offer for RG3. They know the Rams desperately want out of there. If they won't budge, we'll just to talk to Minnesota or take Tannehill at 6.

I think they won't have a problem with that. We lose again. Have a nice day.

We'll have Flynn/Tannehill, Cousins, or Weeden.

Hard to argue w/ this logic.

Don't you mean what the Rams want?

/ok I'll stop. Seriously if we're the only bidder I could see Eli Manning type compensation here, meaning our 1st this year, and our 1st, 3rd, and a player next year.

We're very much in it, but again (think I mentioned this before) we're not really intending to negotiate. We have a "take it or leave it" offer in mind.

Rumor is a decision will be made by Manning on Monday. We'll see.

Could "take it or leave it" mean match any other offer?!

[SmootSmack]

Not from what I hear. Our offer has no guarantees, Miami's apparently does.

No guarantees sounds like a deal breaker.

[T.O.Killa]

here what the NFL network says.

NFL.com news: Report: Redskins already out on Peyton Manning chase

[skinsfaninok]

In don't see PM here now, especially after our offer isn't guaranteed.

Yeah sorry the Rams.

Yeah, no guarantees is not trying too hard.
