It will appear soon enough... and, it's only logical. Seems they were blown away by "new guy" in rookie camp...
Why did the Redskins wait to release him when it was obvious that he wasn’t in the team’s plans for quite some time? According to Adam Caplan of ESPN the Redskins were trying to trade him. Even though the asking price likely was quite low—something like a swap of sixth- and seventh-round picks possibly would have done it—there were no takers. With his contract calling for him to make $4 million in each of the next two years, that’s not surprising. Often teams might be interested in dealing for a player but will have no interest in trading for his contract.
Also true, making it a no brainer... but Doctson made it a total no brainer.Burgundy&GoldForever wrote:Countertrey wrote:"Trust, but verify"?...

$4 million cap savings for a player who was paid as a #2 WR and performed like a #7 WR.

I really don't think there was a downside to any effort to trading him... There is no shortage of Front Office NFL Clowns who will make stupid deals. You should know this... I'm pretty sure you didn't sleep through the recently ended (fingers crossed) experiment of Owner as GM...Burgundy&GoldForever wrote:riggofan wrote:Interesting.

No GM is going to trade for a $4MM receiver who can't catch. That's just asinine Bruce Allen thought it was a possibility.
