TE Fred Davis

[NFLfan123]

With the trade deadline looming, there are reports the Redskins are trying to trade Fred Davis. Davis is a very good TE but the Redskins are higher on rookie Jordan Reed. Davis was considered one of the best TEs in the NFL in 2011, but since his career has been derailed by injury, suspension, and ineffectiveness. Davis was in fact inactive last game with a minor ankle injury as the team prefers Jordan Reed. 

In a Tuesday interview, Fred Davis says he's  open for a trade and feels his days in Washington are numbered and that a trade is inevitable.

With the "production" the Ravens have recieved from the TE position, you'd think Baltimore is definitely interested. Davis is a much better for fit for Flacco then he is for RG3.

The Ravens would be giving up very little for a player who proved he is a accountable starting TE and a talented one. He'd immediately be a weapon for Flacco and his salary is very cheap and affordable.

As for the Redskins, they are letting Davis rot on the bench and he will surely live next season as a free agent, so I'm sure they'd take anything for him. This trade could work:

Ravens get: Fred Davis

Redskins get: 2013 7th round pick

Omg...
You just explained how his career has been derailed by injuries, suspension and ineffectiveness, and you still think its a good idea to trade for this guy?

For a 7th it can't hurt, I'd also like a look at tony scheffler.

Plus. If Snyder of all guys wants to trade someone

seriously, you wouldn't take a flier on him?

The bottom line is he has talent. His contract is cheap and a one year deal...

I'd rather take a shot at finding the next Donald Driver, Shannon Sharpe, Tom Halen, Marques Colston, (insert random 7th round stud) than waste it on a second round bust.

PASS!  We already have enough underachieving players.

Perhaps a chance of scenery could rejuvenate his career, no?

First - Clark has been producing, and Dickson looks significantly better than what he showed earlier in the season. Wait on them.

 

Second - Pitta could be back as soon as mid November, not necessary, in my opinion even if he doesn't return then it is still not.

If that's his big selling point, then....well...no thanks.

Yup, another Lee Evans.

How about a nice "Should we trade for" in the title. Can't stand deliberate attention grabber threads just trying to get people to click on it because it seems like legit recent news when it's really just someone kick starting a discussion about a player we actually haven't even been linked to.

 

No thanks to Davis. Maybe at the beginning of the year but it's too late now, Clark is finally settling in and developing a chemistry with Flacco. Real football isn't a video game where you can trade for a player and have them seamlessly transition on to your team.. by the time he would get comfortable in the offense the season would be over and a draft pick would be wasted considering Pitta coming back late this year or next year.

I think we should trade for Jared Cook with a 7th round pick reason being he is a great TE jus needs a new home. Him or sign Tony Scheffler to a 1 year deal

You're not serious are you in regards to Jared Cook?

Lol, Grim I was using irony based on a select few other members here. I may have weird opinions at times, but I am never going to say something about bringing a player in when the idea is insane, unless I have sources backing the claim up.

[NFLfan123]

I think I'd have to agree with the fellow fan base here. Davis may even get cut anyway so a team can take a chance on him for free.

Profootballtalk reports the Redskins are "aggressively shopping" Fred Davis.
