Also, despite being one of the most iconic sports franchises in the US, you might note that the "LA Lakers" makes almost no sense at all, given that LA is a very arid region with coastline, but no lakes. The franchise started in Minnesota, "Land of 10,000 lakes." In addition, the Dallas Stars NHL team were originally the Minnesota North Stars (the state being the North Star State). You still get quite a few North Stars jerseys on show at Minnesota Wild games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith to the Browns was apparently pretty much done by all accounts. Their plan (allegedly) was to trade for Smith while taking a QB at 1. Think Cousins will be off to the Jets or Broncos.

Agree, Arizona would still be a decent fit for him, as they do have one of the best rb’s in the game, which would definitely take some pressure off him.

Yeah, everything you read about them, pointed to them parting ways. I’m still trying to get my head around how the Redskins see this going forward. Smith is 34 now and has never really stepped up when it’s really mattered. If Cousins was ranked 6th behind a poor pass blocking unit, do they honestly think Smith will better or equal this, I don’t think so.

BigCGilmour Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Agree with above and Cousins was due over 30million payment to stay with the 'skins... basically cause they ****ed up the whole contract situation. I'd like to see him with some real weapons to hit, the team has been decimated by injuries over the last few years but alas it's too late. im not sure about smith, he's steady enough can't see how he can get more out of a team than Cousins tho.

They might be thinking about doing a Chiefs and bagging a first round QB. Smith could very well be in the same situation this coming season that he found himself in with the Chiefs last season.

I think the only QB left at 13 would likely be Jackson, who'd be a huge reach there going by the mocks. Trading up to the top 10 might likely get them Allen though.
