Report: Redskins Have Traded for Jammal Brown

Wow. Okay so starting 5:

LT T. Williams
LG D. Dockery
C Rabach
RG M. Williams
RT J Brown

A Hicks off the bench. I can live with that.Schefter is hinting that the Redskins are planning to put Jamaal Brown at LT and Trent Williams at RT, which makes very little sense to me for any number of reasons. If Williams is the LT of the future, he shouldn't have to wait to take over at LT until year 3 or whatever.

If he's not the LT of the future, we're going to need someone better than Jamaal Brown anyway to handle the position.

So after they fidget around for a bit, I hope the final product looks like your line above, hopefull with Rinehart winning the job over BMW.

Brown is 29, for those wondering -- same age as Haynesworth. This seems like a 3 or 4 year move.

So, would he play LT to start with Williams on the right? Or would Brown start out on the right? If he starts out on the right, how long would Williams stay there? I thought he was drafted with the intent of being a left tackle.

What's J.Brown's contract status?

Yes!!! Our offense will be a threat for the first time in years!

Boy 29 sure is old for a player who's been in the league 5 years. This definitely isn't a long term move for sure, probably 3-5 years at best.

What's J.Brown's contract status?His contract status is signed original (first) round one year RFA tender, scheduled to be UFA in 2011. Pending, of course, the existence of free agency in 2011.

One of the many reasons that the compensation will be lower than I initially thought: he basically wasn't tied to the Saints beyond this year, and people knew his future was in NO. We won't be giving up more than the equivalent of a third rounder.

3-5 yrs is long term in this league, especially if it's closer to 5 yrs

not that this isn't potentially a great move but jamal brown didn't take a snap last year, we have seen pro bowl players come in after injuries and not play up to what they once were. i wouldn't make any assumptions of him being higher than trent williams on the depth chart right now.

3-5 yrs is long term in this league, especially if it's closer to 5 yrsIt's hard to imagine that a guy who isn't dominating right now would be effective at age 33 or 34, but if the compensation isn't obscene, they'd only need a good year or two out of him to justify the trade.

This really doesn't have to be a trade for 2012 and beyond to make sense. It's clear there's no rebuilding going on here.

This is a great move for us! We are instantly better.

Don't be surprised if Artis Hicks battles Mike Williams for the starting job at RG.
