Redskins "Big Name" Trade Targets

Since Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen have taken the reigns for the Redskins we have been one of the most active teams there has been on trade market. Some have been good, Adam Carriker and Jabar Gaffney come to mind, and some bad, Donovan McNabb. ShanAllen have also been very active in trading within the draft, something I won't be surprised to see again. But outside of the draft, who are some guys the Skins could target this year to improve their 2012 squad? I don't think we have as many trade chips this year, but you never know what kind of junk other teams may want.

Ryan Clady, OT: Community question, would you trade the #6 overall pick for Ryan Clady? I would and I think that would be a steal. I think he'd cost more than that, but why not give John Fox a call. Clady was originally drafted by Shanahan, is 25, and is already a two-time Pro Bowler. This move makes even more sense if Peyton Manning is brought in, rather than a young QB.


Brandon Marshall, WR: I'm not big on headcase, bi-polar wide receivers but will Joe Philbin want to deal with Brandon Marshall's "baggage"? I think if anyone can control Marshall its Shanny. Isn't Marshall the big play guy we're looking for? BMarsh may not garner as much as he used to and we could be able to obtain him for a 3rd or 4th round pick.

Star-divide

Asante Samuel, CB: Samuel's contract is still humongous and I think he'd be more likely to be cut than traded but with the super deep free agent corner market could the Skins get Samuel on the cheap? Maybe even a late round pick? Samuel has been grilled the past couple of years but I still believe he is an upgrade over anyone else in our backfield.

Aqib Talib, CB: Simply put, this guy is a moron. But he's a talented moron. Raheem Morris stuck with him in Tampa, so would the Redskins be willing to take a cheap flyer on Talib? Morris could certainly give him more individual attention in DC and help keep him out of trouble.

The question isn't what big names could end up in DC, but what minor moves could help this club like the Carriker and Gaffney deals?

He is probably worth it to a team whose only real need is OT

To me, we have so many more holes that can be filled. I’m an advocate of trading out of 6 and acquiring more picks… perhaps another 2013 1st rounder.

I agree completely. But I really want us acquire more picks.

and as much as I like Clady, who really is an exceptional talent, I just can’t defend giving up pick(s) when we have so many holes. That is mainly why I’m not in the trade it all for RG3, Luck camp (currently).

I can't wait for free agency to get here, so it clears some of this up for us.

These posts get more absurd every single day.

Trade the #6 for Clady? Really, when we just drafted a tackle two years ago with the #4 pick? Seems like a wise move.

Samuel and cheap don’t go in the same sentence.

Marshall and Talib would round out the All-Dumbass Team. SWEET!

Allocating Team resources: What are the choices?

On defense based on last seasons performance including lack of it due to injuries. The defensive backfield was the weakest area of concern due to injuries to safeties (Landry and Atogwe) and due to coverage due to corner backs (Hall and nickle DBs). The front seven could have been better on run defense, but the pass rush was decent on sacks.

On offense a quality QB was missing and the line play was inconsistent. Injuries contributed to the lines inconsistency since a new group had the job frequently. The running game did better towards the end of the season even with more rookies playing.

More depth across the board would help because injuries are inevitable. While more talented starters, especially at RT, LG, and C, there needs to be some balance in the salaries in the OL group (1st round talent at RT is a questionable need but opponents are more and more playing good pass rushers on both sides of their defenses).

Did Ken actually right this?

I am asking because it is just like one of his pieces that tries to be funny but you’re not really sure if it is trying to be funny or serious. With the exception of Clady this is a collection of the worst possible people we could trade for. Even Clady for the #6 is a terrible idea. The #6 could potentially offer us Claiborne, Blackmon, DeCastro/Martin. I would take those guys with their salary and age over Clady 10x out of 10.

Clady is coming off of a down year

I remember watching him last year and being appalled by how bad he looked. Perhaps he was injured, but do we really want to trade for another injured tackle? I don’t doubt Clady can bounce back, but it’s too risky to spend our 1st rounder on. We could just go ahead and draft a guy who will be younger and a whole lot cheaper.

well Denver ran the ball like 70% of the time once Tebow took over

and his pass blocking wasn’t really the issue. It wasn’t his best year pass blocking, but that is not why he struggled.

As for the injury he missed only like 2 snaps all season, and never missed a game in 4 years, far better than Brown who has never started 16 games in a year, much less 4 in a row.

i'm not denying it was a down year for Clady, but a lot of that is due to the style of the offense

he’s always been more of a finesse type blocker, who excels at pass blocking, the Denver offense was the exact opposite of that. If his medicals checked out i would almost definitely do this trade. He’s started every single game of his NFL career so far (4 years), which as we see from guys like TW and Brown isn’t easy.

How about Ryan Harris?

I remember when he was an FA last year that he publicly voiced that he wanted to come to DC, but there were injuries issues. I don’t know what he wants contract-wise, but I can’t imagine anything above 1-2 mil a year after last season. He went on the Broncos before the divisional game after Kuper was injured, and apparently signed a 2 year contract, but could easily be had. Also seems to be a class act, and that his former bronco teammates/fans thought highly of him.

Gaffney and Moss are both 30+ possession receivers. I don’t think we need both of them on the roster. I would prefer to trade Moss, but given his contract, nobody is going to want him. Gaffney is coming off a big year and has a much more modest contract. We might be able to get a 6th round pick for him.

Jumping can lower the force of impact from a vicious hit

It is a slightly better defense mechanism than just going into the ground, sometimes you can still get yards after the catch. All the small guys do several things to protect themselves.
You can say that Santana Moss always jumps and Wes Welker always goes to ground.

Yea I don't get trading Gaffney.

I think he’s a tremendous asset to a young QB or a new QB. He’s reliable. Although his stock may be “high”

I've changed my mind. Trade for Clady right now!

If he’s good on Madden, he must be an excellent fit for us.

Nah to Marshall, nah to Samuel.

Clady would all depend on the price, and seeing as this upcoming first round pick may determine Shanahan’s future, I don’t know what we have that’s tradeable.

I’d be interested in Talib, I could see it panning out for the reasons you mentioned.

Well we’re signing both Peyton AND Brees according to some, so trading for Clady is actually a great option now.

The only tradable junk that I see

OJ–only one year removed from being a good player, we might be able to fool a team into a trade.
Chris Cooley–I hate having to trade our only consistently productive weapon, but he has not finished the last two seasons. I think he will come back strong this year and I bet we could convince other teams to the same line of thinking. Only problem is we are left with only Davis as a threat.
Willie Davis–as shown some flashes and could develop into a player, only problem here is we need tackles, I don’t think we can afford to let him go.
Trent Williams–yeah, I said it. Basically not going to happen for the same reasons as Willie Davis listed above.

Do you mean Willie Smith?

Dammit, I keep doing that. Yes, I meant Willie Smith

Here's what I think...

Would love Clady, but only if we address QB in free agency. Otherwise we need to be all in on RGIII. Other OL’s like Grubbs and Nicks are available without having to give up picks.

I would do Marshall for a 3rd. He’s a great wideout, and the Shanny connection is invaluable. Would give Griffin the key receiver he needs to succeed early on. Marshall, Gaffney, Moss, Hankerson is a potentially dangerous receiving team.

On Samuel, I’d rather go with somebody younger, although I still remember how Shawn Springs stayed with us year after year. Wouldn’t be against it.

No to Talib. Headcase dumbass idiot.

Id be down for all but Samuel

Brandon Marshall for a 3rd or 4th? I dont care if he is a headcase. The man can play. Shannahan already knows how to deal with him. If Morris can control Talib, I would be all for that as well.

by redskinhokie88 on Feb 13, 2012 2:56 PM EST reply actions  

I don't know why Denver would go for that deal

If were not willing to take the risk on an OT preferring to go for the established player then why would they go for it?
Id take Marshall for that in a heartbeat but again why would Miami take that deal, he’s definitely worth more than a 3 or 4 even with his past.
