I guess no one read my previous post which should have ended this conversation in the first place.... so i'll post the news again...

The New York Jets are believed to be asking for a first-round and second-round draft choice in a trade for CB Darrelle Revis.

Good luck Jets! No one is gonna give that up for a 1 year rental coming off an ACL injury

Alfred Morris is a great player, but he also plays the NFL's most expendable, most replaceable (especially given our coach and system) it's least durable, and arguably it's most non-impact skill position..

This logic about Morris doesn't seem right. If its so easy to replace a 1,600 yard back why have the Redskins never had one until now?

You're trying to replace the player. That's the wrong way to look at it, unless you are trying to sell jerseys.

How many rushing yards did we have last year from the RB position vs this year from the RB position? After you look up the answer, what would make you think we couldn't get that again next year without Morris?

And BTW, I wouldn't trade Morris for Revis. Just because Revis is a player I don't want on this team. However, I would trade Morris for a high draft pick.

The reason you hold on to Morris is that there is no other back on this roster that is as effective as he is. Royster was overrated from day 1 imo and he contributed nothing this year. Helu fumbles and is injury prone. If you trade Morris for a high draft pick you have to turn around and draft a RB with that pick which is a pointless cycle.of events.

Now he could find another late round gem, but that's always a gamble. You risk having a strength potentially become a weakness. Morris is very young and is among the best in the league. No reason to change that.

not sure if someone has shared this or not but this article suggests that the Redskins are in the mix.

Royster, Helu, Torain, and Hightower combined for 1,489 yds rushing in 2011. Do I think 1,500 yds rushing from the RB position is possible without him? Sure, but I think the Redskins can do better than 1,500 yds from the RB with Morris in the backfield. In addition to the yards, Morris started every game. Portis was the last RB start them all (2008). I see your point but I respectfully disagree w/ trading him.

This. I think the point is, you *can* find a stud RB in the 6th round. You *can't* find a stud QB in the 6th, oh, wait. Meh, he chokes in the clutch.

Revis is not gonna get 20 million a year in base salary like Brees or Manning. I sure do not think he's worth that much. A cornerback's influence on the game is very limited compared to a QB.

Nnamdi, the highest paid corner in the league, got 11 million in base salary in 2012. Tell me if you think he's worth that much.

No, I don't think he's worth it but someone will give it to him.

Then let someone else be a sucker.

I agree.

Kirk Cousins is the starting QB week 1 2013, why the hell would we trade him?

[robotfire]

I think our corners are pretty good. Our safeties are where we need the upgrade.

I literally read your second sentence ten times and still don't understand what you mean.

I think that you that you put the word "couldn't" where you meant to put "could" otherwise that really makes no sense at all.

[skinsarethebest]

Kirk Cousins is worth more than Revis.

+1

We don't have anywhere near what the Jets would want for him to make this happen. We don't have the depth to trade players, and we don't have a first the next two years.

Any combination of 2nd and 3rd round picks would simply cripple our ability to build through the draft, leading us back to my first reason that we can't do this.

I'm w/ you. Between the cap penalty and the fear of falling back into a Vinny/Snyder era where we trade picks like garbage pail kids. I think Shanny can acquire the pieces w/out trading away building blocks. Besides, Revis just seems too diva like.

[illone]

Revis would certainly be an upgrade, but I dont know if I would part ways with Cousins. Love to see Revis in the B&G, but unless he is willing to wait until next year to get paid, some other team will pay him 12M+ a year and that is a lot for one position that isn't QB. Skins have to eventually extend Alfred and RG3 to max type deals so Revis might not make what he wants here.

Arguable true at that position. But the ZBS requires a specific runner. Not to mention has to be able to take the pounding. Note Helu, Royster, THT, and the countless other backs who haven't been able to hold up in the system.
