What was the boldest move this franchise has made?

[LinvilleGorge]

Bold as in, "Woah, that's an aggressive move and maybe not one a lot of other franchises would've made" type bold?

Honestly, probably giving up two 1st rounders to sign Sean Gilbert to a massive contract out from under the Redskins' franchise tag.

Bold doesn't always work out well.

Speaking of bold not working out well....

 

Signing Bridgewater to his deal after he just found success with a rival was bold. Imagine if he had come in and proven he was our QB for the next 6+ years.

Does keeping Thomas Davis after 3 straight ACL tears count?

Trading a future first to move up and grab Everette Brown. Yet another example of aggressive/bold not always working out. It’s my opinion that it flops more often than not for these sorts of examples.

hard to top this.

Drafting Luke when we still had Beason. If I remember correctly that was a very unpopular move at the time.

Start an expansion team in the NFL in North Carolina?

Hanging in there with Thomas Davis through all the injuries was BOLD in a good way. Trading for Shawn "Drop The Chalupa" Gilbert was BOLD in a very bad way.

Let me also add drafting a QB converted to WR from a DII school in the second round. What an awful pick that was

That was the first thought that popped into my head.  HATED it then, still mad.

Or you could add, Drafting Beason when we still had Morgan
