New possible trade/draft scenarios

Gonzalez is 98 years old. Cooley is not. That's what makes him valuable. Proven commodity at TE with lots of years left.

Cooley isn't fetching a 1st. Zero chance. Possibly a late second round pick but that is doubtful with his contract.

People throw out the Gonzalez trade but I don't see Cooley in Gonzalez's league yet. Gonzalez is the greatest pass catching tight end ever (with Sharpe being in the conversation).

Skins that can or will be traded

Andre Carter
Jason Campbell
LaRon Landry
Albert Haynesworth
Rocky McIntosh
Santana Moss
Carlos Rogers

Unlikely to get Traded because of Salary issues

Clinton Portis

exactly why i posted the above. Way more miles to be had, along with all the talent in the world.

If they are willing to eat Haynesworth massive guaranteed money, then Portis could be traded.

Yep, Haynesworth and Landry could be moved (Haynesworth will be tougher because of cost).


Donovan McNabb trade: Albert Haynesworth, LaRon Landry reportedly offered to Eagles

The Donovan McNabb trade story is about more than a quarterback. The Redskins reportedly offered defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to the Eagles in exchange for McNabb.

There are multiple reports now that Haynesworth was part of the negotiations, and we'd heard this weekend that the team was shopping the talented defensive tackle around, too (to whom, though, wasn't clear until Sunday night).

If true, it's very telling that the team was willing to part ways with Haynesworth after just one season. Owner Daniel Snyder signed him to the mega-deal just 13 months ago; to send him packing now means that the new regime 1) isn't certain how he fits into its plans, or 2) simply doesn't want him in their building. Shanahan has made it clear that he wants to see commitment from every player and he's disappointed that Haynesworth isn't participating in the team's offseason conditioning program.

Depending on when the Redskins offered Haynesworth, it could also show just how desperate they are to get rid of him. Last Thursday, Haynesworth was paid a $21 million contract bonus. If the Redskins were still trying to include him in the trade over the weekend, that means they'd be okay with the possibility of paying Haynesworth tens of millions of dollars for essentially 12 football games. It's more likely Haynesworth was part of the discussions before the bonus was paid out, which simply means that despite the major financial commitment made a year ago in free agency, the new staff is not nearly as keen on Haynesworth as the old one.

There are clearly no sacred cows at Redskins Park. Jason Campbell's days are numbered (although the team has no leverage in any deal with potential suitors), and reports also indicate that the Redskins offered Philadelphia safety LaRon Landry, the Redskins' first-round pick in the 2007 draft. That, coupled with the fact that Eric Berry was in town for a pre-draft visit, could lead you to believe the Redskins feel they can afford to upgrade mightily at the safety position.

A year ago at this time, it seemed like Haynesworth and Landry were both crucial cogs to the Redskins' defense. Quite a change if their most important role right now is as trade bait.

And at 96 when he went to Atlanta, he has dwarfed Cooley in production the last two years.

Cooley isn't going for a second. I don't care what all of the dreamers think.

true, but thats where age, value, production, and years left in their prime come in, and where I give the edge to teams not wanting portis and more wanting haynesworth. Haynesworths 28, productive for the most part, still well in his prime, is worth atleast a second rounder.

Well Cooley was hurt last season and has been part of an awful offensive in the past two seasons. I don't think any team would hold that against Cooley.

Teams aren't going to hold a season ending leg injury against a guy? Really?

What he means is, the Redskins don't, why wouldn't another team?
