This has been an offseason of big changes for the Washington Redskins. New GM, new coach, new defense, new QB, two new former Pro Bowlers in the backfield. The next week could maintain that sense of change, as there are now at least three potential trades lurking leading up to the draft on Thursday. We've already digested the rumors related to Albert Haynesworth and Jason Campbell, but can now add OLB Rocky McIntosh to the rumor mill as well.

Jason Reid of the Washington Post reported that while McIntosh would not officially confirm that he has demanded a trade, his answer to the trade-oriented query tells us everything we need to know. "Ah, that's between me and them," he said, when asked about the trade demand. "I'm going to keep that private. You can probably answer that better than I can. Let's just say I hope the situation will be resolved soon." In order for a trade to be processed, McIntosh will have to sign his one-year, $1.759 million RFA tender.

As far as where he might end up, Ross Tucker of Sports Illustrated listed the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and St. Louis Rams as possibilities, with a fifth- to sixth-round pick as the price tag.
