Russell Could Land In NFC East

Oct 24, 2014 6:34 AM

Peter King of Sports Illustrated writes that if the Raiders do ultimately cut quarterback JaMarcus Russell loose, it's quite possible that he could land in the NFC East. Washington lacks depth at the position after dealing Jason Campbell to Oakland and Philadelphia's stable of quarterbacks is still in flux following the Donovan McNabb trade.

Hall: Redskins Will Dominate NFC East

Aug 1, 2014 7:00 AM

Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall is very optimistic about the team's chances heading into the 2010 season. Hall believes that Washington could win 11 or 12 games after adding players through the draft and trading for quarterback Donovan McNabb. "It's based on the talent we feel like we've got," he said. "It's based on the improvements I feel like we've made. It's based on the scheme. The scheme alone is gonna give us four or five more wins. The games we lost by two, three points, we'll win those games, easy. "We'll dominate our division, off of bringing Donovan McNabb in here, a guy who's dominated the division in the past. So that's just an educated guess. That's an educated guess, and I stand behind. I'll stand behind that. I'll fight and claw to try to make that happen."

Oklahoma Coach Questions Work Ethic Of Trent Williams

May 17, 2014 8:26 AM

Jerry Schmidt, Oklahoma's director of sports enhancement, questions the work ethic of Redskins rookie left tackle Trent Williams. "He's one of those guys, he's definitely not a gym rat. If he was, there wouldn't be anybody even close to him," Schmidt said. "If he really committed himself, it wouldn't even be close. He'd be the best ever. That's how much talent he's got. There's a lot of talent there that he just hasn't tapped." Schmidt gushed about the talent Williams possesses. "He's got a lot of natural, God-given ability. He's got great feet, balance, which allows him to play both guard and tackle," Schmidt said. "Even as a young player, you could tell right away how talented he was. He has a great upper-body, just real natural strength. You look at him, the way he runs, there's not many athlete that big who can run like that. He's a very talented guy." Washington took Williams with the fourth overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Redskins Still Pursuing Moving Up For Bradford

Oct 16, 2014 6:37 AM

Sources told FanHouse on Wednesday night that the Washington Redskins are still in discussions with the Rams and trying to make a deal for Sam Bradford, who would then sit for a year in Washington behind Donovan McNabb and develop under new Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. One of the sources said that Washington was the only team still in the mix to trade for Bradford, who has told the Rams he won't sign a contract until after he is drafted. The Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns -- two teams that had interest in Bradford -- are no longer making the effort to try to trade up and get him.
