banks isn't worth a 5th stringer. no ones going to trade anything for him, matty's right.
right now? no. ... BUT ... we let him take alot of the returns in pre-season next season and he looks like his old self and absolutely lights it up... then we could be talking SOMETHING of value or depth for us before week 1... MAYBE.

I agree Cedric Griffin has been missed. If we make it to the playoffs his return will help our defense. He's our most physical corner, and I'm not pissing on Hall and Wilson here because both guys have played tough as nails most of the season. But they're both undersized, whereas Griffin can really put the hurt.
Crawford has filled in nicely though. He's looking to be the first defensive player Shanny drafted beyond the 2nd round to play a significant role for the Redskins down the road.

Banks will just be cut or waived in the off-season. This year was his last shot I think. If some other teams wants him, they will wait for him to be waived.
I wouldn't be surprised if Banks doesn't get picked up anywhere else.
He's too small to play WR on a regular basis and the days of having a designated return man are over.

Perry Riley?

It depends what the trade involves. He might be worth a third string defensive or offensive lineman.
Banks isn't going to garner ANY trades. Another case of fans overvaluing their team's players.

Perry Riley?
Good call...I thought Riley was drafted before but I think it was actually 2010.

Perry Riley?Great call. Also, Gomes has been easy to overlook. I think he'll contribute on defense as much as Crawford does, down the road.

Was tempted to go with Griffin Suspended as the thread title....but I don't want to be responsible for several dozen simultaneous heart attacks
LOL ..... redskins nation would not have been happy with that title , nor the 911 operators :)

If you watched last game against Dallas, Cedric Griffin did a real good job in coverage for us, shadowing Witten and playing well in zone. We really could use him this Sunday, but we'll just have to make due with the likes of Crawford and DJ Johnson
