I was listening to NFL Radio this morning, and they were saying that Dre Bly wants to be traded to Washington. Evidently it has something to do with the amount of money Fred Smoot got, and he wants a piece of the action. I don't have a link, just what I heard.

He was just traded to Denver and now he wants another trade?

With all the money being tossed around, players are all going ****** nuts.

The Washington Post, citing several NFL sources, including some who have spoken with Dre' Bly (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4690), reported Monday that Bly was upset at being traded by the Lions to Denver and wanted to go to Washington, instead.
The Redskins also were trying to trade for Bly, the newspaper reported, but couldn't match Denver's offer of two players and a draft pick.
According to The Post, once Bly was dealt to Denver, Washington tried to negotiate a trade with the Broncos, offering cornerback Shawn Springs (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=3952), but the teams couldn't work out a deal when Denver couldn't give Washington salary cap help.
Citing unnamed players, The Post reported that Bly is miffed at being in Denver because the Broncos are unwilling to extend his contract, which has one year and $4.2 million remaining.
The Redskins, however, reportedly were willing to give Bly a lucrative new extension, The Post reported. And playing with the Redskins would allow Bly, who is from Chesapeake, Va., to play close to home.
Bly, 29, is considered one of the game's best big-play cornerbacks. In eight seasons he has intercepted 31 passes, forced 17 fumbles, and scored eight touchdowns (five interception returns, two fumble returns, one punt return). Last season, Bly tied for the Lions' team lead with three interceptions and led Detroit with 18 passes defended and four forced fumbles.
