Washington Redskins: Best Non-Trade of the Offseason

With draft day approaching, the non-trade by the Redskins for Jay Cutler is not even a blip in the rear view mirror.

Jay Cutler looks better as a Bear than a Redskin. He still has a use for his orange sweatshirts. Since he got himself kicked out of Denver, he was almost sure to land in the NFC.

Rarely do you see a team fire a player like that. You have to wonder what he really did to get fired. He was sent to a quarterback outback, a team with a bad offense that plays in a freezing stadium by the Great Lakes.

Sure you can win there, just few actually do. Maybe it is a good move by the Bears, I don't know. But it was a great move by the Redskins not to pay the crazy high price asked.

We don't know whether it was the Redskins who raised the ante to such high stakes. Paying two first round picks, plus a third, and your starting quarterback is a boatload.

Considering that Jayson Campbell cost two first round picks, that really translates into four first round selections and third rounder. Holy cow, that is a lot of good football players to give up.

So we are going to get a Super Bowl winning, sure-fire hall of famer for all that gridiron loot? No?

We are just going to receive a signal caller who has the same record as the guy we already have? What kind of deal is that?!

The D.C. area collects one of a kind athletes. We have the $100 million nose tackle, the $112 million point guard who decides if he will play, the overly exuberant $100 million hockey star (who might be worth it), and the $632 million baseball stadium for a team no one cares about.

What would be so bad about another $100 million for a quarterback who looked like a pro-bowler and then got fired? Even if it costs you five top draft picks?

Too many question marks and dollar signs for me.
