KENDALL to the Redskins (confirmed)

I like the trade.

Just an observation: are the New York Jets officially our farm team, or is it still unofficial?

So who's the bozo that doesn't like this move?

This is a great short term signing by the Skins. Kendall will be able to fill the void at LG, Wade just couldn't get the job done, but who knows if Jansen struggles at RT Wade could jump in there right away. I now feel a hell of a lot more comfortable about the O-line depth. Samuels, Kendall, Rabach, Thomas, Jansen starting, and Wade, Pucillo, Heyer, and Fabini as capable backups. One thing that concerns me is how old our Line is, we're definitely going to need to get some youngblood in here after this season, but we still have this season to be excited about.

I agree, AND we still have a good number of high draft picks left for us to TAKE said linemen with.

Great move FO. i hope this sures up the oline issues. Also I think you guys are right about getting rid of Marshal to clear room for Kendall, and also upgrading the position of LB with signing of Godfrey. Now that we seem pretty set on our roster, we should concentrate on getting cooley locked up for years to come. Hail!!

So it looks like it will be a 2009 pick, conditional pick 4th or 5th (depending on playing time I suppose)

Not a bad deal I suppose. He's old, but he can still hold it down for another couple of years.

CNNSI is reporting either a 2008 5th rounder or a 2009 4th rounder, presumably based on playing time, but they could very well be wrong. If that is the deal, barring injury, it would appear that the 2009 4th rounder would be the most likely outcome. By the way, Kendall apparently was signed through 2009 by the Jets (with base salaries of $2 million for 2008 and $2.393 million for 2009; ESPN.com (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2988171)). Anyone know how the Redskins dealt with the contract? Adam Schefter reports a 2-year contract (is that an extension, or was the old Jets contract just voided out?). Just curious, but all the details probably aren't out there yet. At this point, I like the move, probably the best option they had and a 4th rounder two years out doesn't seem so bad to me (at least in 2007 it doesn't).

I agree, AND we still have a good number of high draft picks left for us to TAKE said linemen with.
Exactly, hopefully we keep those high draft picks to get someone. I wouldn't throw our 1st rounder on a lineman, but we can definitely find quality guys in the 2nd, and 3rd rounds.

Gives me goosebumps all over.

Honestly, I'd use our first AND second on offensive line next year. If our defense can hold up this year and prove something. I would love to use our early picks on the best tackle (first round) and guard available. The Ravens got Ben Grubbs, arguably the best offensive linemen in the draft besides Thomas, in the late first round.

I'd be more nervous if we signed him to a seven year deal. But as a stop-gap for a couple seasons, I can't imagine he'll cause that many problems, if any.

... all caused by MONEY.

He just got his raise. I think he'll be fine.
