Redskins Send 5th Rounder to Rams for Carriker and a 5th (Swap 7ths)

He doesn't even have a big contract to absorb. I just don't get why the Rams just gave him away. Guess they thought they owed Haslett something?

They just got far enough into the process that they realized other teams knew Carriker didn't fit into the Rams system and thus realized the Rams had no bargaining power. We may end up in the same boat with Carter, although I think a guy not coming off an injury and having 11 sacks should be worth much more.

Actually he technically is:
Redskins OLB/DE Andre Carter (biceps surgery) is already in (http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Andre_Carter/885189)
Remember he tore it late during the season.

Still, the Bradford Boners are going to come up with ridiculous stuff between now and then draft...until we make our move. I'm still waiting for the "We can still get Bradford" thread after the Rams pick him up.

We should trade Carriker and our #1 to the Rams to move up. :)

No research I've ever done suggests that is going to work, but both Shanahan's seem quite convinced that it will. Of course, I would expect nothing less.
Have you sent in your resume yet Tripp? ;)

WOW!!! We swapped 5th & 7th for a former 1st round pick did i read that correctly?

With that said, our solutions on offense throughout this offseason have appeared to be some combination of the formula (Mike Shanahan's hubris + the 4th overall pick) = wins!!

My research suggest that this post is a massive buzz kill :D

It would appear that we dropped to 32nd in the 5th round and moved up to first in the 7th round. I guess you could say that our original 5th round pick was like a late 4th rounder but for a first round pick I won't mind taking such a "hit."

Have you sent in your resume yet Tripp? ;)Those crazy employers at today's career fair wanted to know where my resume was. I asked them: haven't they heard of me?! I'm kind of a big deal.

We still have 4 draft picks right?

do you have many leather bound books?

When we drafted Laron Landry, I wanted Carricker. I guess looking at this trade, we did the right thing taking Landry. It looks like they gave us Carriker, for a pack of Snickers. I am still happy we got him. I think he would fit perfectly in a 3-4 at DE.
