AH trade II La Canfora insists AH is indeed on the trading block.

Well unless the Redskins are willing to trade AH for a 3rd rounder (which would be RIDICULOUSLY stupid) this ain't happening. Another Redskins story that JLC doesn't break.

JLC was not exactly a warm welcome when he was here serving as the Redskins beat reporter. His negative reporting was never a fan favorite.

Wanted to repost this from the draft thread as I think it explains why the JLC insist on pushing this story.

I think JLC is still bitter about not breaking the AH news last year, so he wants to break this news. So just keep insisting and insisting.

What I was referring to was this article where JLC actually got pissed at Vinny for not tipping his hand before the Jason Taylor trade. I think it's similar now where he hear's Shanahan say no and in his head he hears yes based on the experience with Vinny.

Redskins Insider - The Immaculate Deception (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/the-immaculate-deception.html)
But yesterday, minutes after the afternoon practice was over, here is what Cerrato said to the local media, repeatedly: "We haven't talked to anybody yet on anything." He then denied, again, any attempts to land Taylor to representatives of virtually every media entity that approached him at Redskins Park.

The second I see that JLC is talking about the Redskins plans I don't even bother reading any further. The dude has no connections at Redskin Park. Zero.

This is my post from the first page of this thread.

If Shanahan is serious about trading big Al it will get done, and he may be all the wiser for waiting until the season gets closer. All it takes is a major injury to any one of the better DTs in the league and suddenly Al's value shoots thru the roof.

...obviously in this scenario we don't get any current compensation. But if Mike could get a 1st rd pick next year is seems safe to assume he'd take it.

The Redskins made thier bed and they have to live with the fact that Al is not going anywhere and they will have to pick Saturday. Time to not give away next years draft for picks this season. Time to pay the piper! As for Al he needs to come in and work hard. He real could have a great season with the Redskins. Also it shows team that might be willing to give value that he is a team player and not a problem child. You never know some one might need a DT as the season moves on like a team like the Skins when J.Taylor was traded for!

Time to pay the piper? They paid him 21 million on the first. The "piper" is already paid.

Damn, we are stuck with the best d-lineman in football...What do we do now!?!

its not like it was all just made up. smoot said a deal seemed very close. apparently, something must have fallen through. hence the denials from shanahan and the titans. but unless you want to call smoot a liar, there's no denying that we were trying to trade him to the titans. it just didnt work out.

Here's what happened. Titans were trying to get him from us. We weren't trying to trade him there. We said the conversation doesn't begin until you can offer us at least a 2nd. Titans were then close to sending Bo Scaife in a deal to the Ravens that would get them a 2nd that would come to us. That deal fell through, Ravens took another TE in the draft, and that's the end of that.

That sucks rocks. Allen will have to go to the tried and true policy of signing castoff FAs to plug gaps for the moment. Our FA moves of the past few weeks are in my book questionable at best.

Also, we spoke to the Vikings about their 1st overall yesterday and then their high 2nd today. But nothing came of it

Use him to destroy Tony Romo and his "wonderful group of pass catchers."

I like the McNabb move by itself, but knowing we have wasted another draft, we were better served keeping the picks and just drafting Lefevour or Pike, Stull, etc. WE really need linemen and linebackers. Not to mention a S and a CB. We really needed multiple picks. I wish Snyder could buy the Patriots' FO. Hindsight is 20/20 after all. I just hope we can get a decent FA for trading JC now, but that looks like a lost cause.
