Not sure on the source, but NJ.com is alleging that the Washington Redskins are interested in the Detroit Lions' Dre Bly, who has just been given permission by the team to seek trade.
Bly, 29, isn't among the elite corners in the league, but he's in that next group and should draw plenty of interest in a league where you never have enough good cornerbacks.
Expect Washington, as always, to be interested. And the Giants might want to pick up the phone, as well.
Let's get over the particulars: Per Ian Whetstone, Dre Bly carries a 4.2M base salary heading into 2007 but is a free agent beyond that. A trade would involve a contract extension and he won't get paid less than his current salary at 29 years of age. The Redskins lack draft picks so I'm not even sure what they could offer of value for Bly.
My position is that this trade is bubkes, though more detailed and credible suggestions could easily change my mind. Reader(s): What, if anything, would you give up for Dre Bly and his contract?
