Shanahan & Fisher Relationship = RG3 a Redskin


I don't know what you guys think but I think that the fact that Shanahan and Fisher are such good friends really helps us when it comes to trading up with the Rams for RG3. If you do your research you will see that they are REALLY good friends and that Fisher will give Shanahan the last say when it comes to offers. Now don't get me wrong. I don't think that Fisher will sacrifice picks (aka if the browns give a better of then Fisher will take it) BUT I do think that Fisher will give Shanahan all the opportunities he can to make the trade and I don't think that the power of that can should go un-noticed. The Browns clearly have more picks to trade with BUT they also have a lot of holes to fill in their team, have Colt McCoy who they might be willing to give one more year (and if that doesn't work out draft a guy like Barkley), and Heck and Holmgren have been known to draft the BPA when it comes to the draft. I think that that means that the skins have a legit shot at landing RG3 by trading with the rams at #2.

It all comes down to the friendship that Shanahan and Fisher have and that extra opportunity (or two) that we get to make the trade we want/need.
