Now, the rumor that we have interest in Cooper could well be to raise his price and force Dallas to spend more. But not Hooper.

Couldn't Dallas use the Franchise Tag on him if they need to do so? I think they would because their passing offense was much better last season when he was in the game.

Only if they resign Dak first, which doesn't look like it is going to happen, only have 1 franchise tag

Has the salary cap for 2020 been established? I heard it could rise to $200+ million

I would look to the draft for a TE instead of FA, I wouldn’t over pay for Hooper or Henry. Jonnu Smith was drafted in the 3rd round ny Tenn. and was a stud. We can get someone similar in the draft.

I think they are going to do both: draft a TE and go for Hooper or Henry in FA.

In fact I think the Redskins will use their third rounder (#66) for a TE.

I know there is interest in Hooper from the Bears and Packers. But we have far more cap space AND a dire need for this position. We may end up paying an extra $1 mill for Hooper but not really a big deal with over $60 mill in cap space (three year deal at $11 mill/yr). To change last years terrible offense, the biggest improvement will come by adding several very good TE with FA and the draft.

Anyone else heard this garbage? We apparently are in the Phillip Rivers sweepstakes now...

I saw it too and I don't believe it.. Riveria spoke about establishing the team with young players that can be key for the team, so I don't see how Rivers would fit in this plan.

Rivers doesn’t make sense for several reasons, mainly the $$

Yes. I'm glad to see it. A lot of rumors about the Redskins out there. Rivers, Burrow, Tua, Cooper, Drake, etc. Looks like RR may be a master of misdirection. Like Don Corleone said to his son Sonny, "Never let anyone outside the family know what you're thinking."

Lots of smoke and mirrors. Trying see what we can get for trading our #2 pick. Trying to get the Cowboys to overpay for Cooper. Showing interest in certain players to let other teams know we’re in the hunt and will pay for them. I only believe about 20% of what’s coming out.

For instance, I believe the team IS interested in HOOPER and we’re “peeing on the bush” to let other team’s know we’re going to get him because we have the money to do so.

Other FA I think we’re interested in are Boston and Bradberry. Most of the other stories are just misdirection.

Boston, yes! Perfect fit with Collins. Bradberry, no. He's nothing special.

Not sure if this has been reported, but league sources have told me that they expect the Redskins to franchise tag Brandon Scherff and the Steelers to tag Bud Dupree.

If that's the case, now that Smithers is gone, hopefully that this is just to extend the time to negotiate an actual contract.

Tag and Trade !!!!
