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

Genius move!

Wow...hopefully getting Haynesworth off our roster will yield a pick higher than a 5th rounder.


You would really consider trading Godzilla for a 5th rounder? Seriously?

A solid depth pickup. Daniels can't play forever.

Yes, Adam Schefter reported that we got Carriker for swapping 5th rounders with the Rams (the 5th rounder that they got from Philly).

Great deal for the Skins!

Carricker has 2 yrs remaining on his rookie contract, so we will pay him 1.07 m in '10 and 1.42 M in 2011.

This doesn't make much sense? If we only swapped 5th rounders then we got him for virtually nothing?
He's coming off season ending shoulder surgery, isn't a true DT, and doesn't really fit STL's scheme.

If he's healthy, he's a great fit at 3-4 DE, and an absolute steal for what we gave up.

So far, I see that he's a former First Round (#13) pick from 07. Played a great rookie season in 07, did OK in 08, and has no stats from 09.
I'm not overly excited on this trade. How much might we get out of him? Could end up starting, could end up riding the pine.

I AM EXCITED that it cost us moving from 132 to only 163. If those reports are true, then it's a real steal. Vinny would have sent them a 4th and a 5th.

so they are really gonna try and make a run for the playoffs instead of a true rebuild it looks like. it's gonna be really interesting to see what we get for, and where soup and fat al end up. i have a sneaky suspiscion we won't know dick until roughly around 7:45 est thursday night


Did anyone out there seriously think that Shanahan was brought in here to "rebuild"?


Rebuilding doesn't exist in the NFL. That is a euphimism that teams like Buffalo and Tampa Bay use to say that they have given up and they are just going to collect TV revenue.

This will make moving Andre Carter easier

So we swapped 5th rounders AND got a player?

This deal sounds like a steal.

Confirmed: Redskins send their 5th round pick (#132 overall) to Rams for DE Adam Carriker and Rams 5th round pick from Eagles (#163 overall)

So the price for Carriker was moving down not quite 30 spots in the 5th round. If he turns out to be the kind of 3-4 DE that we think he is, that is a huge steal by ShanAllen.
