Redskins Trade Makes No Sense

The Redskins have just traded their 3rd round pick this year, AND a 1st and 3rd pick next year for the glorious possibility of picking Jason Campbell at the end of the 1st round. Pardon me while I stand to the side and gleefully cheer the continued demise of Dallas' most hated rival. Who the hell is running the Skins? This trade isn't a head scratcher, its the kind of trade that makes you want to run into a wall until you knock yourself unconscious (if I were a Redskins fan). I mean the Giants traded a 3rd, future 1st and 3rd for Peyton Manning's Little Brother (for future reference Ely will always be called the little brother until he does something), and Jason Campbell is worth nearly the same price. REALLY???? Is Patrick Ramsey that bad??? Is it me or has Dan Synder become the NFL owner's version of a degenerate gambler, you know the guy in the casino that loses all his cash, then reaches the ATM withdrawal limit, and then maxes out his credit cards, and finally just loses his house. At what point will do all these horrendous trades and salary cap fiascos hit the fan, and when they do, will the Redskins just field a Arena League team.

Seriously, why doesn't every GM in the league just call up Washington and offer random trades, isn't there like a 50/50 chance that they would do it no matter how ridiculous it was. Like if I were Dallas, why not give the Redskins a call, and say, hey you want to trade us Lavar Arrington for a 7th round pick and a pack of cigarettes. Honestly, I really think the Redskins will unload almost anyone on their roster for less than market value if that player has questioned the all-powerful Synder. Talk about a crippling Naploeon Compex.
