Don't rule out Redskins in Vick sweepstakes
Posted by Mike Florio on July 27, 2009 11:03 PM ET

For now, it's clear that multiple as-yet-unknown teams are pursuing quarterback Mike Vick.

It's also clear that one of the teams that has pursued multiple quarterbacks this offseason is the Redskins.

And we're beginning to pick up some subtle indications from a couple of sources with connections to the team that the Redskins should not be ruled out as potential suitors for Mr. Vick.

The thinking is that, if he were to land in D.C., Vick would not supplant current starter Jason Campbell, but that he instead would work in a Wildcat-type role for 2009, with an opportunity next year to succeed Campbell, whose contract expires after the season.

If the Redskins truly are interested, it could create an awkward situation for agent Joel Segal, who represents both players.

Then again, Segal might be able to persuade Campbell that, if Vick makes the team better in 2009, Campbell will be more attractive on the open market in 2010, if the Redskins choose not to keep him.

For now, we're not reporting that anything will happen between Vick and the Redskins. But as other teams begin lining up for a crack at Vick, who's living not that far from where the Redskins play their home games, how can the 'Skins not at least do a little due diligence?

With a far less noxious degree of stink emanating from Vick given the incredibly fair manner in which the league office has treated him, selling Vick to the local fans suddenly has become a far easier task. And given that the Redskins are nearly 18 years removed from their last Super Bowl win, we've got a feeling that anything that pushes the franchise toward the top of the NFC will be viewed as a positive development.

Bottom line? The Redskins signed Albert Haynesworth, who is hardly a choir boy. If they can justify giving him $41 million guaranteed, they can easily justify giving Vick a one-year deal.

To be clear, we're not reporting that the Redskins will sign Vick. But we've heard enough from a couple of trusted sources to believe that something could indeed happen.

Tanner Cooley (Chris Cooley's brother) reported via Twitter and Facebook that Vick was seen at Buffalo Wing Factory in Ashburnvearlier today.

if he's doing a slash type role and was cheap then it I wouldn't mind but him as QB is stupid we already saw what he looked like in the WCO.

when was the last time we had a D-Line with this much potential?

Carter
Haynesworth
Griffin
Rak
Daniels/Wynn
Jarmon
Golston
Montgomery

That's a pretty incredible balance of run stopping and pass rushing. Pretty damn exciting to finally have a D-Line with the potential to be dominant. Guess we'll just have to wait and see though.

Chris Wilson as a converted LB too
I wonder If they will keep all of them throughout the season.

[P'Oed]

I'm pretty sure either Wynn or Daniels will get cut which sucks because I like them both. Hardworking vets that know how to play. I just think theres way too many D-Line guys on that list to keep.

Is anyone else gonna watch the whole game tonight? If so, which young guys will you be watching for?

On offense I wanna see if Brennan can dominate Baltimore's second string defense, hopefully by throwing to Thomas and Kelly. On defense I wanna see two things: First, can Orakpo and Jarmon get to the QB. Second, can Barnes and Tryon make plays in the secondary.

[REDardWIZskin]

sounds pretty similar to the guys i will be watching, I'm interested in the 3rd Rb situation too. I really don't think cartwright will get cut but I just wanna see if one of the new guys will impress or Mason for the 2nd time, Thomas is listed as 2nd string KR. And i wanna see C. Griffin. He hasn't played in a while and he's got some young talent behind him in golston and montgomery.
