Trying to look at the positive side - maybe this makes it easier for him to sell - since he doesn't have to ask for other owners' approval. And maybe that makes it easier for the NFL to "encourage" him to sell. He's got to realize by now that nobody wants him to remain the owner.

I'm depressed. Again, I'm so disinterested in this team under Snyder.

Then you fundamentally misunderstand Dan Snyder. The more people don't want him to do something, the more he turns into a stubborn little rich kid and digs his heels in. He has no identity beyond Redskins Owner. He would rather anger all the people who want him to sell, and fail every year, than sell the team and see it win under a different owner.

This is a case study in abnormal psychology. My view, fwiw, in the past, he's always had a highly paid "buddy" to make him believe people liked him - going back to Vinnie the Rat and then Bruce Allen. Even 2 years ago, he felt he had some support just because of the name thing. It's different now - he has no credible yes man. This is the first time he really understands that everyone is against him - unless he's completely nuts - which is possible.

The fact that they dumped Haskins so quickly makes me think Snyder won't be meddling as much going forward.

On a personal level sure I'd like a better owner but on a human owner. This man worked his way in to being one of the richest men in the country and he worked hard for this team to be his. If he doesn't want to sell it he should've be forced to imo. Baring any illigal **** happening .

Adam Humphries is solid. Huge upgrade over Steven Sims.

He seems like a limited player at this point tbh, but decent depth and can return punts a little.

I don't follow college football well enough to have much thought past the first round. i have the Skins picking Zaven Collins - the big LBer who supposedly graded out as the best coverage LBer in the country and also looks like a very good blitzer.

Unfortunately, I think that's a great trade by Philly - getting an extra FRP for going from 6 to 12. But who is Miami targeting at 6 that Philly's going to lose out on?

I would guess Pitts or Penei Sewell

Could potentially be Fields or Lance if either drop.

No matter what, the Dolphins killed it with the series of trades starting with Tunsil last year.

Memo to Ted. THAT is how you rebuild

Sewell's probably worth it - if he's there at 6. I think Pitts could still be there at 12.
