time for the drought

.One HOT Rumor to report today centers around the Washington Redskins...the Redskins who own the Drafts ninth pick overall are reportedly considering making a move to strengthen the team's CB position before the Draft in two weeks...the team reportedly would feel more confident in a veteran starting Corner over one of the upcoming Drafts top rookie prospects...the Redskins reportedly could become a "player" in the Patrick Surtain sweepstakes and trump the Chiefs offer to the Dolphins for Surtain...however...the veteran Corner that the Redskins reportedly covet is Bills CB Nate Clements...Clements has one year left on his existing contract and will become an unrestricted Free Agent at the end of the 2005 season unless Clements and the Bills can work out a deal before then...it's highly unlikely since Clements will be looking to be paid as the highest rated Corner to hit the market in Free Agency which will include a hefty signing bonus...Bills GM Tom Donahoe has a history of not over spending on a player for the sake of his teams Cap....the Bills don't own a First Round pick in the upcoming Draft because it was sent to Dallas as part of the 2004 Draft day trade which enabled the team to land their QB of the future J.P. Losman...Redskins Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams drafted Clements in the first round in 2001 in Williams first year as the Bills Head Coach...stay tuned!!!!!.......on to some Prospect news...LSU Corner Corey Webster was considered one of the Top 3 CB prospects and a sure-fire first round pick heading into the 2004 season...but Webster's stock fell during the season in which he struggled mightly because he was playing on a nagging hamstring injury which he couldn't shake during the season...Webster recently impressed the Scouts with a solid Pro Day workout which convinced his on-lookers that he's fully recovered from the injury...Webster could become somewhat of a Draft day steal if he falls out of the first round of the up-coming Draft.

That's really interesting stuff Teemotay...what's your source? got a link?

It seems to confirm what Teemotay had to say. I have not opened the link, so I'm not sure.

That's an interesting rumor considering the way the Skins have conducted themselves SO far this off-season.

COOL...Ron Saul just came into my work. droughts over! Hell of a superbowl ring.

I hope this rumor is us blowing smoke for some reason.

Clements is good - but not 9th pick good!

If we could trade rod gardner and our 3rd for Cory Webster - I'd be a happy man. May be able to get him midway through the 2nd.

I think a third and gardener is more than enough compensation for surtain or clements. The headache that Miami or Buffalo would get with gardener would make us banned from trading with them forever but it is wworth it if they want him. The kid from LSU is suspect in my estimation I would not take him in the second. Third definitely. I worry about Erasmus James...I hope we dont pick him with our pick... having the same problems as Bo... I dont understand why any smart FO personnel would take a kid with injury problems in the first or second rounds. Seems a waste of a good pick.
