You can still lay a foundation without trading away key veterans like Moss. Thomas and Kelly will both have the chance to compete for a starting job next year, and both should be ready to contribute much more than they did this year.
Trading away Moss would leave this WR corps in world of hurt for the short term. I understand the rationale for at least shopping Moss, but I don't like the idea of leaving such a big void in the WR corps.

I understand the rationale for at least shopping Moss, but I don't like the idea of leaving such a big void in the WR corps.I know in terms of giving Jason Campbell the best chance to succeed, trading Moss is a tough pill to swallow in the short term, but there are cost-effective receivers in free agency every year that could bridge the gap to Kelly, and allow us to have our cake (the second round pick), and eat it too (still have a breakout year for Campbell).
But of course, you have to be careful not to screw Zorn over in the process: "Hey, we're taking away your best WR and CB, now go make the playoffs or your fired" style.

I would hope Zorn would have a say in something as significant as letting a #1 WR go.
Maybe we could trade Moss and sign Houshmandzadeh? Probably wishful thinking as Cincy would be pretty dumb to let him get away. I'm not sure there are any other quality #1 types out there this year.

I don't think Housh will come cheap, but in the current economic climate, you never know, he just might.
Housh would command top dollar especially in a pretty thin WR free agent market.

According to the link above, the redskins are rumored to be attempted to trade the following players:
Carlos Rogers - 2nd Round Pick
Santana Moss - 2nd Round Pick
Kedrick Golston - 3rd Round Pick
Ladell Betts - 4th/5th Round Pick
The site also speculates that the Skins will attempt to trade Chris Horton for a 2nd Rounder. I actually like that move alot. LL can move back to SS and springs can move to FS/NB for a few years. I also like the idea of keeping Carlos, trading Moss, Golston, and Betts - if we could get a 4th rounder for him, which is doubtful. I personally think there is a chance we secretly shop Jason Campbell, too. If Vinny and Zorn are worried about their jobs, they may be more comfortable with a proven WCO vet starting next year.
This is a really bad idea.
1) Springs is more than skilled enough to be a FS, but the problems is he has problems staying healthy at CB. He will never stay healthy at the very physical/high contact FS position. FS is a very high contact position compared to CB.
2) Why trade a young, cheap and proven player for a draft pick that given our drafting ability, will end up being a bench player.
Trading Horton would be pretty dumb. I highly doubt it would happen though.
I know we say it all the time, but I really think people play too much Madden. Some of these moves that people come up with are just ridiculous and flat out dumb at times.

I think Cincy is that dumb, having Housh and CJ didn't help this year, and they could have gotten some picks for CJ.

What, don't teams go for it on 4th and 10 on their own 30 yd line all the time? LOL. :smashfrea
