I wouldn't mind this move at all. Even at his age. It seems interior lineman, particularly centers, tend to play longer late into their careers.

I'm surprised that a board as big and important as ES would even care about what our little ol' site has to say.

time to hand over that nickname matty haha

TK's outburst was pathetic at best; honestly if I were a reporter without many sources why wouldn't you go to a place that has a lot of the info collected together? It's only logical.

But to act like it's all media on there that's slowing stuff down? haha.. beginning of free agency there are just a lot of fans that don't post/have accounts checking it out.

the next guy did back up what I was saying though

Should be at Redskins Park this afternoon, if he's not there already. I'd be surprised if he signed today

Would you trade Rogers and our 2nd rounder for Sproles and a 3rd? Keep in mind it would be the last pick in the 3rd round

(And keep in mind I'm just the rumor mongering messenger here)

I would definitely do it. Either Tryon or Barnes would play opposite D.Hall, we dump Rogers, who doesn't want to be here, and we bring in an instant home rome threat in Sproles.

Ditto, we need those picks more than we need to replace Bricks-for-hands.

Argh. I wouldn't be too pleased. Tryon and Barnes don't make me feel warm and fuzzy competing for that spot. Rogers might be a knucklehead, but he's a pretty good corner even though he can't catch. RB is the last thing we need to be TRADING for. Now if Sproles was free, I'd be all over it, but not at the cost you mention above.

"Winning" the offseason hasn't gotten us anything in the past.

Yep; I mean I want to improve this year over last, but if it means we'll be addressing these positions with better guys next year while giving some guy a shot to start this year, that's better. I'd rather have say, another tackle next year than to have some allegiance to some guy that we brought in on a solid contract and didn't plan on keeping anymore than the year. Imagine we got Pashos and he played decently for us, then you have the dilemma of whether to keep him another year or go ahead and get the stud next year. I suppose you could always cut him after the year or force him into a backup role, but then what was the point in signing him in the first place?

I hope so and I would love a one year rental. It is sad to say but he would be head and shoulders above anyone on our line and he has intangibles that are hard to quantify.

Keep in mind we could always trade down a few spots in the first round, still drafting in the first round mind you, and pick up another team's second round pick.

So now we have a mid to late round first rounder, a second rounder via another team, and a third (from the Chargers). In that scenario, we've essentially traded 'Los for Sproles straight up. Not quite, but you get the point.

Yeah, lot of panties bunched now that they can't make fun of us for making it rain, so they have to attack from a different angle.

hadn't heard anything about that until your post
