has Samuels and our 5th pick for the Raiders 2nd pick.

I'm definitely not opposed to trading Samuels, but this is a bad trade for us. We need to get more for him than moving up 3 spots.

The trade was just speculation BTW... hasn't happened yet.

[4. I think the Washington-Oakland swap rumor is just a rumor for now. The buzz is Washington will move disgruntled left tackle Chris Samuels to Oakland, and Oakland will drop down to fifth and Washington up to No. 2 to take Gallery. Now, it is true that Gallery was in Virginia last week, and it is accurate that the Redskins have fallen in deep like with him. And they are ticked off at Samuels for refusing to re-do his contract and for saddling them with an $8.7 million cap number this year. But as of late in the week, the Redskins hadn't called the Raiders. Yet if they do, I'd make the deal in a second if I'm Oakland.][/quote]

Someone on the ESPN boards said that King reported the rumor on some radio station somehewhere. Whether it was King who started it or not, who knows?
