Washington interested in Adam Carriker

PrintHere's a trade rumor to get you through the night. NFL.com's Jason La Canfora cites "league sources" as saying that the Washington Redskins have contacted the St. Louis Rams about the possibility of trading for DT Adam Carriker.
Carriker was the Rams first round pick in 2007. He struggled in his time with the Rams, missing the entirety of his third season in 2009 with a bum shoulder that he injured in the preseason...when he was competing with Gary Gibson for his starting job.
Who knows what to make of this. The Haslett connection certainly lends it some extra viability, and Carriker might be better suited as a DE in a 3-4 defense. If the Rams were willing to swap Carriker, what kind of return could they get? With Washington moving to the 3-4 there are bound to be some players not able to make the transition. DE Andre Carter could get moved according to the report, but that wouldn't exactly be a fair return for Carriker, who I believe still has some value. What would it take to get Jason Campbell?
I know Carriker isn't the most popular of Rams players, considering his draft spot, but he would have use as part of the Rams rotation at DT, and he's only got three years under his belt, having only played two of those years. He may never live up to his potential, but could be useful nonetheless.
Stay tuned. Just because someone is asking for a trade doesn't mean it will happen. Hat tip to TST member thisguy for the fanpost.

we need
as many picks as we can get
we lost with him and we lost with out him
bad shoulders and an ankle and what else
If the Rams could get a 5th/6th rounder
I wouldn’t be opposed to the trade. Someone with more football experience enlighten me: is Carriker not suited to play DE in a 4-3 defense?
He is versatile enough to play in either if he stays healthy
He will stay a Ram and be one of Spags’ rotational players. If Hall flies we need some depth and cannot let Carriker then walk for a 5th or 6th rounder who may not even make the squad.
he weighs around 300-310 pounds
which is average 4-3 DT size. i don’t think he is quick enough to play DE.
if washington is willing to give up a 3rd rounder, I’d say do it.
anything less, and we’ve got to keep him.
assuming we take Bradford, our DT rotation will be Ryan, Robbins, Carriker, and Scott. If we lose carriker, we need to find a compotent DT (a.k.a. not a rookie dt not named suh or mccoy)
Skins have no 3rd round picks
And he surely wouldn’t bring a 2nd straight up

It will be a player trade or a 2011 pick
Washington is limited to only 5 picks in this draft and I doubt they give up another. I am sure they will package a player and seek a pick from us, or they will offer a 2011 pick.
Sorry for being off topic but yahoo says we just resigned mike karney to a 3 year deal
does anyone have a dollar amount?
Per fas et nefas - Latin translation="By Any Means Necessary"
Hit enter too soon
…Was the last contract he signed for 3 years last year. I have not been able to find anything about him restructuring his deal though.
How about...
Carriker and the Rams 3rd round pick for the Redskins 1st rounder (#4 overall? Thats if they want him THAT bad. That way we can get Suh and Bradford.
Great idea,
but I don’t think even Dan Snyder is that crazy.
HAHAHA
Sorry to tell you guys but, the rams have wasted the most complete strong side 4-3 defensive end to come out since Strahan. Playing him at the UT position was a joke. I am a redskins fan and laughing my butt off because the rams just keep creating more holes to fill. Move Carriker to strong side end, Long to the other side draft Suh, resign little as a pass rush specialist. Draft another young pass rushing end and rotational Def tackle in the 4th-5th round. Its very simple and you don’t have to create a hole just to fill it again. Sorry guys I have been there for years watching a very bad personnel team(the redskins) make the same mistakes the rams are making now.
That Move (changing him to DT) Was The Old Regime's Move
Jake Locker in 2011
Its too bad you were watching the Redskins back then or you'd know
These Rams are not making those moves. Show me the over priced free agents we saddled ourselves with? Oh, no? That’s what I thought.

If We Dont Trade Carriker
maybe that means we are leaning towards Bradford………if we plan on drafting Suh/McCoy then i’m sure the trigger would have been pulled
Jake Locker in 2011
Its way early though
seems like at least half the trades or more come on draft day. Up until then people are frontin’, bluffin’, and trying to wait for someone to pay high dollar.

hit enter to soon, meant to say …we could go QB with the 33rd pick
If practice makes perfect....
Yet nobodies perfect.....
Then why practice ???
With the depth of the draft allegedly in DT's and D in general...
Why not draft them the other way around?
The blind stares of a million pairs of eyes, lookin hard but won't realize, that they'll never see the C. And when I'm rollin by, you can't see me!

DT in the third round?
If we did take Sam Bradford first overall, we should take the BPA in the second round and hopefully a DT like Tyson Alualu or Lamarr Houston is on the board for the third round pick.
