Updated: Redskins Trade for Vikings DE Erasmus James

I just wanted to throw my opinion in on this...Watching him in Wisconsin I think this will be a steal in the long run. (Crosses fingers that injurys are over with)

Included in those 12 (now 13) pages are about 1-page worth of posts commenting on how many posts this thread has.

And now make it one post commenting on how ridiculous it is to comment repreatedly on how many posts this thread has.

Yes, I recognize the irony.

Then theres another 3 pages of people saying "low risk high reward." "If we cut him no big deal we lose a 7th round pick." Which as I mentioned before is true but when people find 45 different ways to say it, well for me i'ts like nails on a chalkboard. Like for example this is from another forum....lol

Good move IMO. Low risk, high potential upside

It is also a conditional 7th rounder, so if he washes out, they get nothing

I really like this move. Hopefully Palermo can hope him realize his full potential and he can avoid the injuries that plagued his first few years in the league. Even if he doesn't pan out...we honestly don't lose that much. Great move FO

I like the move - you really can't complain if we don't get much out of him for a 7th.

If he doesn't work out then we lose a 7th rounder.
If does good (what is the condition) on the 7th rounder?

Really nothing to lose here. Good move by the FO. I can't believe it but I've typed that a few times since the first day of the draft

Conditional 7th in 2009. great move considering this guy was a 1st rounder. If he gets over injuries and becomes a good player, then well worth it. If not, not a whole lot lost.

it looks like if he doesnt work out that the vikes get nothing the condition is that if he does work they get a 7th rounder...

i think our front office is retarded, but giving up conditional 7th rounders for a potential impact player is a good move.

If this guy is healthy, we just got our 2nd best DE...
...for a 7th round pick!



This is a low risk move that could really pay off - especially if he has something to prove now.


Hello...Genius...
The conditional is in the Redskins' favor.
If James works out, the Vikings get a 7th round pick, if he doesn't, they get nothing.

I like this trade. If it works out, awesome. If it doesn't... We lose a 7th round pick.

Low risk high reward. If he works out we're out of a 7th rounder. If he's garbage then we lose nothing. We obviously swung the deal because there'd be a chance he'd get claimed off the wire before our turn. The guys that are complaining that we could have had him for free are overlooking all the other teams that would have had a chance to land him before us.


Exactly.

If he works out, and plays good for the Redskins, then Washington got a 1st round player for a 7th round pick.

If he doesn't work out and the Redskins release him, they keep their 7th round pick, and lose nothing.

It's win/win. http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif


*Sigh* Ok you guys don't get it...if he pans out we lose a 7th round pick, if he does not, we give Minnesota NOTHING. That's why it is a conditional 7th round pick.

Alright I think I made my point. I would have done it with this forum but there was a lot more material over there. On a side note these quotes spanned only 3 pages of a 20+ page thread. The point, we know it's low risk high reward, please find another aspect of Erasmus James to talk about. Like how often players with injuries like Erasmus revert back to form, can he play LE for 3 downs if we need him to, what does this mean for the other guys on the roster.

With that said I like this move, if it works out awesome, we get a former 1st round pick that the front office liked in 2005, if not we lose nothing.

Guys - this is low risk / high reward.

I think this is a really good move b/c it is such a low risk / high reward.

Does anyone else agree with my analysis? If so, please repeat it endlessly.

Lilliputian risk. Gigantic reward.

LMAO, guys that made my day.

yes I agree...
subterranean risk / gianormous reward.

I think this was a very scientifical move by our front office. They took a microscopic risk with the possibility of gaining an incalculable reward. Simply put, the danger posed by this aquisition is infinitesimal but the prospect of recompense is immeasurable. Further, I am even more excited by the insignificant hazard created by this transaction and the incalculable return it forbodes.

Okay. I am done now.

Anybody got any news of James passing the physical test or not?

This risk, she is itsy-bitsy. The reward? Oh, mama...
