Vince Young (as reported) and other possible QB Targets (POLL)

[JDubs]

So like it or not (I'm in the not camp for the most part), the South Florida South-Sentinel is reporting, from unnamed sources, that the Redskins are the front-runners for Vince Young's services. Redskins beat writer Rich Tandler has also heard talk of Vince Young in the nation's capital, so the smoke is building here. Due a $4.25 million bonus in addition to his $8.5 million salary, Young is likely to be released rather than traded. The Redskins are one of very few teams with no semblance of a viable starting QB. It's easy to see why V.Y. would be interested in signing on, as it's his quickest path to playing time. [SOURCE]

Ugh.

This made me want to know exactly which QBs are available for the Redskins to acquire. NOTE: I am working under the assumption that McNabb will be traded and the Redskins will return to more traditional methods of killing worms.

- Stick with Grossbeck: By most accounts, the Shanaplan in this scenario would be to give Beck a shot.
- Sign FA Vince Young: I'm obviously assuming that the Titans are going to move on from him. He has some intangibles, but lacks accuracy. I'm a bit baffled by the interest because he does not appear to fit the Shanahan system (skill set or attitude).
- Trade in division for Eagles Kevin Kolb: It'll likely take a 1st or 2nd & 3rd type package.
- Trade for Kyle Orton: There are rumors that a deal with Haynesworth is possible. I do not believe these rumors, but they are worth mentioning.
- Sign FA Mark Bulger: Probably not ideal and it is said that he will sign with the Cards once free agency begins.
- Sign Matt Hasselbeck: For what it is worth, Peter King said he will not be returning to Seattle.
- Sign FA Peyton Manning to a 1 Gazillion $$ deal: Kidding.
- Sign FA Brett Farve: Kidding and vomiting in my mouth.
- Sign FA Seneca Wallace: Ummm...yeah, we could do that.
- Sign FA Matt Moore: Filled in adequately at times in Carolina...and inadequately at others.
- Sign FA Alex Smith: 49ers drafted Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick and may be finished with the Alex Smith Experiment. I am finished with it myself.
- Sign FA Caleb Hanie: Showed some things in the playoffs, but will likely be kept by CHI
- Sign FA Matt Leinart: I don't think Houston will him go, but he does carry a clipboard with authority.

If there is a brightside, it is that if Big Ben keeps living by this motto, he will be available soon too. Then we can go get him (and hide our kids, hide our wives, hide our husbands...)
