LaRon Landry may be up for trade, any interest?

[superbowlbound]

DRob and Jacoby = the ranch? really? what has jacoby done apart from fumble 1 out of every 4 times he touches the ball? Landry was a guy I wanted badly when he came out. If DRob isn't quite enough, and all we have to throw in is a guy with decent speed who occasionally shows flashes while overall performing like he belongs in the arena league, I'm all for it. I don't really see JJ seeing the field much at all anyway, what with angry dre, walter, and the string dance in front of him. Add in the fact that we now have 30 TE's, and there's even less touches for your boy jacoby. do that trade in a heartbeat!

Back at you...........what exactly, has LaRon Landry done to warrant two players, and why all of a sudden is he tradebait?

What has he done? Aside from being one of the best young safeties in the NFL?

He's an un and coming player. I don't know what the riff is, or if it's even legitimate. But, if you have the opportunity to trade a player in a contract dispute, who wants more money than he's worth, who's (or will be) only under contract for one more year for one of the best up and coming safeties, you do it.

There's a reason he's being rumored to be traded. He hasn't participated in the off season program the last couple of years. You may be just trading one disgruntled player looking for a huge deal for another one. I have no idea if it's the case, but good young players aren't available for trade unless their is a good reason.

I'll take a healthy disgruntled player at a position of need and IS in the top 5 at his position over a disgruntled player who is coming back from an injury who thinks he should be paid like a top 5 player at his position.

With the emergence of Glover Quinn to play Nickleback, this would be a no-brainer. Of course we just have to talk the Redskins into the deal.

And who is on his BEST day at most was barely a top 10 and now lucky to crack the top 20.

The Redskins are not getting rid of Landry. This is a minor issue that is probably no big deal to the Redskins.

Actually, I'm surprised more veteran players don't boycott OTA's. "Team player" or not, there's no contractual obligation to do it and I'm sure these guys feel they already know the system and want the time off when they're supposed to be off. Most of these guys probably have families and kids that are just getting out of school and want to spend time with them or go on a spring/summer vacation. There's not that big of a window for family vacation time with the school and Training Camp schedules.

The fact of the matter is the NFL opened themselves up to this sort of mess by not negotiating that OTA's be mandatory. Again, I'm surprised veteran players put up with it. Are the Redskins going to bench Landry because he didn't attend OTA's 3-4 months before the season? Of course not.

Dang RP, this guy runs around in shorts a couple weeks and you've already got him as the savior of our DBackfield. I dunno maybe even going to the ProBowl his rook year, huh ?

I've just got a gut feeling that Landry wouldn't do all that well with the Texans. But since most of the rest of you think so highly of him, I will shut my trap and just see what transprires.

If it comes down to Dunta and Eugene Wilson vs. Quinn and Landry, I'll take that second combo.

Jeez, I said he could play some Nickle, not become the next Champ Bailey.
