Default Broncos-Redskins Trade Rumour Sirus Radio 2hr ago

http://forums.denverbroncos.com/show...4&page=1&pp=15

The poster stated he heard it on Sirus radio and the deal was.

Denver sends Bly, 21 and 56 to Washington for 6 and Springs.

Make of it what you may but given Shanahan and the Skins deal-making history quite frankly anything's possible.

Ehh. . ., not really enamoured with the 6th pick. If they could move down to around 10-12 and pick up a 2nd back up, I'd be all for that.

Okoye's not an option anymore with Bates' desire for big DTs. Branch appears to have dropped to where he's not worth a pick that high. Anderson or Adams would be cool, but I'd probably rather have Carriker, Johnson, or Moss and 2nd round S.

Then they'd draft a CB at #6.

Well Washington does want more picks and no doubt wants Bly, but would this work money wise w/ Spring's contract? Sorry I am not a salary cap expert by any means.

I dont know about Springs I mean doesnt that mean we are just expecting Foxworth to play 60% of the snaps next year? Seriously how much time has this guy missed? I like the #6 pick because we could use a great DE/DT but If we do this I think we need to find another 2nd out there because we have more than one hole to fill and this seams to defeat that purpose.

The way Shanny praised Foxworth in his post season presser made me wonder if his intentions were getting Bly to trade in the first place...

If that went down, who are we targeting at six?? Branch

I like that #6 but really don't see how Springs - a ten year vet with one int each of the past two years - helps us. Foxworth is better and although Springs is better than the nickel options we have, it's not by much. It wouldn't surprise me if Paymah beat him out for the nickel job.

I know there are some stud DEs that will go in top ten, but the draft is always a gamble. And is that gamble worth 21, 56 and Bly? I just don't think so.

It would be exciting to get into that 6th slot, but I think we would be better off staying at 21 and keeping our 2nd round choice and Bly.

Springs carries a $7.5 million cap charge in 2007 and he's due $5 to $6 million base the final two years of his contract. He would have to totally rework his contract if he's coming here. I doubt it happens.

that would be ok i guess since bly seems to want to go there. If Springs stayed healthy it could work out well

I don't think this is unfair. Spring for bly is even assuming Springs is healthy. Plus he is a solid guy off the field. Then the picks enchanged are about even. I think i would rather still have the two picks and Bly.

I wouldn't draft a DT as a top 10 pick.

Anyone that thinks this is a bad deal for the BRONCOS?? is insane....

if we swap 1st rounders to move all the way up to #6 overall for just Bly & our 2nd rounder and STILL get shawn springs out of the deal?!....the other 30 teams will petition the league to put an end to the seemingly yearly rape sessions the broncos do with the redskins....

does shanny and sundquist have naked pictures of snyder or something?

If this was true why not trade down to 12-15 and get Moss or Carriker and land a few extra picks for DT S.

I dont think this heavily in favor of the broncos. the skins need more draft picks and get a 1st and 2nd round players would help them . Also, bly and springs is pretty even.

I really don't know about Springs frankly. He is 32 years old, and his stats have decreased consistently. And now he can't stay healthy.

Pass, Personall I am not a Springs fan and think that the Bly in washington rumor are just a bunch of crap.

Status quo would make me happy.

Washington gets boned in that trade.

I guess it would be par for the course.
