The Facts:
We have our first completed NFL trade since the league got back to business this week. It involves the Washington Redskins. But it does not involve Donovan McNabb. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Broncos have traded Gaffney to the Redskins in exchange for defensive end Jeremy Jarmon.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Gaffney played in all 16 games for the Broncos last season and started 11, catching 65 passes for 875 yards. His acquisition shows once again that the Redskins considered upgrading the receiver position their top priority: It’s the third move the Redskins have made at the position, following the signings of Santana Moss and Donte Stallworth. That said, Gaffney and Stallworth are both 30 years old. Moss is 32. Rookie Leonard Hankerson, Anthony Armstrong, Brandon Banks and Malcolm Kelly are also on the roster.
