If Snyder isn't running things then no way. Shanny will take a 5th round pick over an over-the-hill overpriced Vet at RB. Hell he shipped Clinton Portis who was in his prime to Washington. If Danny still has his hand in the pot then, yes it is a possibility.

His shipped Portis in exchange for Bailey. All due respect to what Portis did in DC (and he did a lot) but he wasn't worth one of the few shut down corners. The Skins got the bad end of that trade, especially with how easily he was replaced in Denver.

As for Snyder's involvement, how much do you think he was involved last year? Remember they brought in LJ and Willie Parker last year under Shannahan.

You are preaching to the choir about who came out on top in that deal. That said, Shannahan has had success with guys at RB you never heard of before they ran for him. Including Torain. There isn't much that I can say about LJ and Willie other than, while Snyder may have brought them into camp it was Shanny that sent them packing. I just don't see how or why Washington let alone any team needs a 36-year old RB, who is only coming back for the money (it would seem) when you can get a 20-something in the draft and pay him what $375,000 and not worry about his motives for wanting to play.

Not to mention current and former teammates are killing the guy talking about how bad he is/was in the locker room. No way that guy lands in Washington under the current regime. But I would be remiss if I said, I wouldn't be surprised if Tiki doesn't visit Washington.

Tiki has a short list? Are we sure it isn't just a list that happens to be very short because no one wants a RB that retired 4 years ago?

Joe Gibbs is the reason why that trade was so one sided otherwise that deal is just about as even as you'd get.

And why in the world would anybody wanna take a look at this dude for, especially anybody from the NFC East?

Not much, if any.
