Skins' Schedule Meeting with Russell

And the plot thickens....

ESPN.com - NFL - More to it? Redskins set up meeting with Russell (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2817276)



I'm going to have a heart attack

Pastabelli seems to believe that its in an attempt to stir up the pot. I don't think its that serious

It's not a huge deal, I'm sure.

I don't know why they'd even meet with him. I know it's customary to interview a lot of people who you are highly unlikely to draft, but I see no reason whatsoever to even look at him or waste our time talking to him.

:food-smil

Well here's to another 300+ post thread about how stupid the Redskins are. How they don't care about their own talent. How they will kill the cap. How they never address their needs and so on and so forth. The chess match that they are playing this offseason is a F'n Masterpiece !!!!!

isn't this the way the draft game is supposed to be played? act like you want everyone

I'm sure most teams meet with the top prospects... why is this news?

Here's the answer right here, again I don't see why this is news.

The meeting with Russell might be little more than due diligence on the part of the Redskins, in the event he somehow falls to their spot. It may be a ruse meant to stir other teams to perhaps deal with Washington, which seems to want to move out of the No. 6 slot.

Also, if he falls to their spot, now they'll know EXACTLY what value he holds and they can maximize their asking price for the pick when other teams inquire about it.

These rumors and all this speculation is oh so annoying, but it's better than nothing.
