The whole situation just doesn't add up. This is just one more fact in a line of them that draw no clear path.
All reports use the word "smitten" to describe Snyder's attitude towards Sanchez. It's been many decades since anyone has used that term, and yet, multiple outlets use it within a day or so? Sounds like a direct leak.
We don't have a plethora of cap room, but we're supposedly trying to get in the top 5, where the rookie pool might end up exceeding our cap room.
Jay Cutler. We chased him hard because we thought he was the missing piece. We didn't get him, and now it's Sanchez? Really?
Cerrato pulled an eleventh hour trade down last year, and now were considering going up?
No one in the Redskins organization has ever tried to squash these rumors at all. All Snyder has done is thrown gasoline on the fire. He might just be this short-sighted, or he might be wise enough to leverage his position. Prior evidence suggests he's probably just shortsighted.
We've avoided adding pretty much any help in free agency after the Dockery signing, despite unexpectedly cutting Jason Taylor since then.
We're frank enough to tell Sanchez where he stands with us, but we're okay going "behind" Campbell's back (I say "behind" because if it is a smokescreen, Campbell's in on it).
Brian Orakpo might be a simultaneous smokescreen, or a last ditch attempt to divert attention from Sanchez.
We can't even outbid other teams who need Sanchez' services far more than we do.
I don't know guys. This situation reeks of botched management. My best guess: the Skins were prepared to trade the farm for Sanchez, then got a grip and backed off, and are now using it as an elaborate smokescreen. An accidental smokescreen that looks perfectly executed because at one point, it was in fact plan A.
I'm thinking the allure of Mark Sanchez might have actually worn off before draft day. Who knows, if the draft was ten days ago, I think he's wearing B & G, and we're not picking in the first round next year.
WoW thats some real heavy thinking you did to come up with that. Sounds about right from Redskins Front Office. We did give Dolphins a 2nd rd pick for J. Taylor ? We did release him after 1 season right? We did give the 49ers a 3rd pick for Brandon Lloyd and signed him to a new contract Right? We did bench Lloyd during the season and then gave him to the bears for a low pick. We also did the same thing with Archuletta Right? This is beginning to be common practice for us to waste money on bad free agents and give away draft picks.
