(UPDATED) Report: Lions Trade Redding to Seattle for Peterson

I don't think going after Peterson is a good idea. How about letting Blades come in and take over for MW? He's ready now, he's been here for a few years and he's one of our own.

I like Blades, he is great Redskin.
But Blades does not have the explosiveness that you need in a really good/productive OLB. Blades will be a great MLB when London Fletcher decides to hang it up, but Blades lacks the speed and big play ability to be a great OLB. Blades does have excellent instinct and ball awareness to be MLB and get to a RB.

One of the major differences between 2008 Redskins defense and an elite defense like the the 2008 Steelers/Ravens defense is their OLB's were disruptive and got a lot of sacks/big plays. I know the schemes are very diffrent and their OLB's rush the passer on almost every play, but our OLB biltzed plenty and they did not produce.
Our OLB were not productive enough at making big plays.

Yeah I don't think we have the money but he would be a good addition to our LB corp.

I think he'd be a great addition. I think there's ample playing time opportunities for Blades still even if we brought in Peterson.

Rumor is he's going to Detroit for Cory Redding.. Oh well.

That's who Redding is being traded for? I didn't realize it was Peterson. Wow

Updating the thread title. Good trade for both teams. Seahawks address the loss of Bernard. Lions get a veteran LB, which also allows them to focus on getting either an OT or QB with the first pick. I doubt they take Curry first overall now

Boy, talk about punishment. He wouldn't lower his salary so he gets sent to Detroit. Poor guy.

We took Lavar instead of Peterson. I was hoping we would get him to fill our need and right the fact that we did not take him. Kind of like us getting Dockery back. Oh well, Crowell is still out there.

Peterson is what Lavar should have been, as a matter of fact Peterson was pissed that the Skins didn't draft him. He had a chip on his shoulder cause he thought he was as good as Lavar. I guess he was wrong. He was and is better than ASSCLOWN Lavar.
