Translation: I want 21 million a year to play in D.C, I know Daniel Snyder has the money.

That doesn't mean that they're willing to give up the two first round picks though. I hope too god Cleveland decides on Flynn. We would really only have to compete with Seattle for RGIII.

was that today?


and i think its a bluff

I agee.

Dolphins- PManning
Browns- RGIII
Skins- Flynn & Tannehill, Cousins, or Weeden.

I'm guessing we will now work hard for Flynn in FA, and pick up 2 WR's in FA, maybe an OL. Then we'll make an offer to the Rams which will be declined because the Browns will offer one 1st and their 2nd round pick for RGIII.

The Skins are not willing to give up their two 1st round picks because they would like to use the 2nd round pick for support. The Browns can give up one 1st round pick and their 2nd round pick this year and still have a 1st round pick for support.

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.

That contradicts everything I've heard. All indications are that we are willing to give up our first this year and next year, but we are not willing to give up our first and second this year.

RG3 is a better prospect than Cam was and thanks to Andrew Luck coming out is within our reach. We need to make this happen.

I'm starting to beleive this more & more.

That is true for 90% of SBXVII postings.

Heckert also said they love Tannehill and Weeden and would explore moving down as well

Flynn won't be a Redskin under the current regime

[Skinsfanatic]

Smoot, so which is true: Has Peyton rejected us, or are we in his top 3 (or is it somewhere in between).

I don't know what his top 3 is, if he even has one. That said, I know there are reports out there that he's said no to us and that is not what I've heard at all. 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.
