KENDALL to the Redskins (confirmed)

Is his name Darth Maul?

Classic. Just classic.

It does raise an interesting point...what if we COULD get Darth Maul on the O-line?

Im gonna reserve judgment on this manuever until the details come out, but my gut tells me that once again the past decisions of the front office forced them to overpay for an old fart.

I am excited to see how he meshes with the line in the next 2 preseason games. I think this is going to be a great pick up for a 5th round pick.

My problem is, assuming its a 5th rounder, we once again traded away a mid round pick for a 34 year old, and paid him relatively well on top of that. IF Vinny, Gibbs and the boys were on their game, O-line depth would not have been such an issue that they HAD to go out and overpay for someone well past his prime.

I'm not a big fan of Vinny ether. But we are were we are so I think it's a good move that's going to help us for the next few years.

I'm thinking Jabba the Hut at center.

I'm with you on the point of not getting ourselves into this position in the first place. How many 2nd and 3rd round picks have we pissed away over the past few years which could have helped with the transition of replacing guys like Dockery or Jon Jansen?

Still, we're usually dumping 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks for guys like this. I'm not too bummed out about giving up a 5th rounder here. I can live with that sort of trend.

The last I heard the details of the trade have not been officially released. Whispers and rumors floating around have it at #5 in 2008 or a #4 in 2009. Apparently it all hinges on Kendall's playing time, which works in our favor.

Also, does anyone have info on the contract or the physical?

Don't know the details of the contract. He passed the physical.

Everything I've heard says 5th round pick in 2008, unless he plays something like 75% (I think that was the number) of the team's offensive snaps this year in which case it's a 4th rounder pick...but in 2009

Wow! 106 for Kendall to 5 against at 10:30 p.m. Thursday night Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

That poll seems overwhelmingly for the trade. I am certainly for protecting JC at the cost of a 5/4th round DP. No, I don't think this move is anything like the TJ Duckett move, nor do I think we are cap-strapped. I watched the Steelers game three times, and of course the hit. I cringed each time, even knowing the eventual outcome, and that JC will be back next week. I only question Kendall's attitude and the pain killer problem until I see him play, and hear that he has adjusted to being in B&G.

Warpath Insiders has a wonderful Q&A with Kendall up on Scout.com. I'm sorry that I don't have the link-ability with this computer.
