I agree it took him too damn long to give up control. I am not sure it's going to be that long of a rebuilding process either. A ton of the problem with this team was lack of production at the QB position. Yes they need more pieces, let's see what they do tomorrow as the free agency mayhem begins. They're gonna make a splash at WR i can almost gurantee that. The team has talent they need to resign London, the got excellent production from Kerrigan he'll get better. I would say though if they are not a playoff contender in 2 years then both Shannahan's will be toast! I think they may be a contender by then, I have to be optimistic we all are too damn tired of losing we can agree on that!

Isn't that what the problem is, he's always trying to make a splash? He made a splash with the trade. So are you saying now that he's going to throw a ton of cash and overpay on a target for RG3? How about suring up the offensive line and starting from there.

TO is available and I am sure Snyder could snatch Ochocinco with a few more draft picks.

This trade is an investment in a franchise QB, that's gonna cost in today's market. They have cap room to address other needs as well. Such as WR and OL in terms of the line I think they like some of the guys they are bringing back Will Montgomery, Mo Hurt, you hope Trent Williams gets his head outta the green cloud he's got talent if they stay healthy with Chris Chester I think the line could be productive. Of course we need depth, but they seem pretty high on the guys who are returning. Look we cannot change the past, have they overpaid for players who didn't work out yes, but I think this time they are putting better and younger talent in place. I think they are building a soon to be playoff contender. May take a couple seasons, but I think they are on the right track.

haters going to hate..... probably the same haters that didn't get on the Gus Bus back in the 90's



why anyone would doubt that this franchise doesn't suit up all-pro's under center each and every year is beyond me. I defy you to look at this list and call this a BAD trade, CHAMIPIONSHIP!!!!!

Cowboys lose $10 million in cap space, Redskins lose $36 million in space. Can split it over 2012 and 2013 any way they want. More at ESPN.

i just looked on si and yahoo to see if they also had something about this, but nothing so far.
i tend to look for confirmation any more when espn announces breaking news.
