'SKINS OUT, SAINTS IN FOR BLY
A source with knowledge of the situation tells us that the Redskins have dropped out of the bidding for Lions cornerback Dre' Bly. Taking their place, we're told, are the Saints.
The other serious suitor is the Denver Broncos. We're told that the deal would involve tackle George Foster and a third-round pick, or Foster and running back Tatum Bell.
The Broncos, we're told, currently are the favorites to land Bly.
Stay tuned.

That would make me happy. I don't care for a 30 y.o. malcontent. I'd prefer a 28 y.o. corner who flashes his "skills" to a boatload of people.

Plus, it's a good sign that we've perhaps learned a bit after last year's trades and signings. But we also didn't have much to offer, most likely.

I hope they restructure with Springs. We're gonna need him.

If true, sounds good to me, I was getting worried w/what we might give up.

This has got to be because Smoot was dropped. LaCa said the SKins we're in lvoe with bringing Smoot back. I think Smoot is a better fit for us anyways.

I guess I can accept that if it happens. A little SmootSmack never hurt anyway...

Canfora latest blog entry:

"I have never heard anything abotu Vilma other than in wild Clinton Portis BS trade rumors. My guess is Elfin is throwing hackneyed crap off the wall and piggey-backing off what we've beeen writing for weeks, because I haven't seen really a sentence of original reporting in anything they have done in the last week or so.

As for Bly, PFT posted that thing at 11:45; at 12:45 I was on the phone with someone directly involved in this thing, and they said, 'The Lions are driving the bus, but the Redskins are definitely in the mix.'

Make of that what you will." [Posted by: Jason La Canfora | March 1, 2007 01:23 PM]

LOL - Oo;s.

In the time it took to read and post - Bly gets traded. Now that's crack reporting.
