Can we trade for Smoot now?

I don't want Smoot back. He is too skinny and not a very good tackler. Yes he has good coverage skills, but his run support is lacking. I would rather draft another CB and develop him. A healthy Springs, Rogers and Harris can hold the position down while another rookie deveolps next year. Why overpay for Smoot when he is not a complete CB. Rogers will be a better CB next year than Smoot.

2 questions:

What is Smoot’s health status?

Are they expecting Carlos Rogers to be available at some point during the playoffs, assuming we advance deeper?

Not sure about Smoot, but Rogers is ready to play.

Rogers says he'll be back this week

While the Redskins await word on whether top cornerback Shawn Springs will be available for Saturday's playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rookie cornerback Carlos Rogers said yesterday he will return for Washington's first postseason contest since the 1999-2000 season.

"I'll be ready, no doubt," Rogers said. "If it hurts, it hurts. But I'll be out there."

Now Lavar's overrated.........wow


I know the topic of this thread is about Smoot possibly coming back, but since LaVar has somehow wiggled onto this thread, let me say this in regards to him being overated. I would like to see LaVar get 100% healthy first. Play a sixteen game season without distractions regardless of who he's playing for, then let his play speak for it'self.

As for Smoot, he had a chance to stay here and choose another route obviously for more money. I'm not sure they would want him back even if available. He really hasn't played that well even when he wasn't injured. Smoot has a difficult time being a physical type corner GW loves in the line-up. He also had problems with injuries his last two seasons here. I'd pass on him.

Oh man, we really need Springs to be healthy. I don't want anymore Walt Harris nightmares.

Maybe this time we'll be able to generate some pressure on Chris Simms. That should help.

Easier said than done.

I think we would all love to see that, coaches included.

I think it's a little too late for him though.

Smoot could help us in this offseason. Guess it's too late to trade, but could he be picked up if cut by Minn? Get well soon Shawn Springs and Ade Jimoh and Carlos Rogers.

No trading after mid season.
