Re: "Schefter claims Washington on trading block
Says who?
If some team, say Houston, calls New England about its surplus of recieving talent, asks about Washington, and gets told, "we'll give him to you for a first and a third," does that put him on the block?
(I'm not saying this really happened but...)
Anybody in danger of getting cut right now is on the block. That goes for the other 31 teams as well. If you can get a 6 for a guy you're about to dump, you take the 6.
Likewise if you are desperate for talent or depth at a given position (Tennessee, Houston, Minnesota, Kansas City, Tampa) and you have a guy available who fits your needs for size, speed, special teams, etc, wouldn't you gladly give up a late pick instead of bidding for his services?
