Trade Deadline Approaching; Any Moves?
 

I believe the trade deadline is next week. If Samuels is out long-term, it would be typical Skins biz to try & make a deal for someone. Anyone see any possible trades on the horizon? Or will DS & VC be patient & keep all picks for next year?

Jay Glazer said on sunday that the Raiders were ready for a "fire sale." One thought I had was Robert Gallery. Before everyone calls him a "bust" rememember that he's at least been a starter for most of his career. His salary might be too big, but if he could be had for a 6th rounder, that might be a good deal.

Another name that could come up is Brady Quinn:

Gallery is listed at the third string left guard. he's probably free to a good home.

He's been in an awful situation in Cleveland. He appeared to have the tools coming out of the NCAA and definitely had a great college QB coach in Weis.

We're not going anywhere this season. Now is the time to find out what we have as far as young players go to build around for 2010 & beyond.

I'd like to trade the owner for a box of rocks.

I saw that on their pg. Wonder if he's given up in Oak. a la R. Moss? He's not an LT like they drafted him to be, but he can play RT or G probably better than half our o line.

he's probably better than heyer or williams right or at least has experience at the position (recent). I don't know... are we grasping?

Re: Trade Deadline Approaching; Any Moves?
 

How about Alex Boone? Isnt he on the San Frans p squad, sowe can get him by dumping AA or Bastie? He was a really good prospect that made some really dumb desions while drunk.

I was also thinking i wonder if Samuels can be traded for anything?

He'll sign for a bottle of Boone's Farm, brilliant!

I've had the Quinn thought as well but to be honest w/ you i haven't seen much of his games in Cleveland. I watched one last year where he was ok. I did watch a good amount of his games at ND and he was impressive to say the least. Cleveland will make anyone look bad. They probably say the same about us. He's got to have a hefty salary though.

I don't quite understand the Washington organizations' (and apparently the fan bases) fascination with offensive linemen who are proven failures. The only theory I can come up with is because people remember their names from when they were taken high in the draft, but in Gallery's case, there's a reason he's #3 on arguably the worst team in the league. I'd rather not have Washington load up with more garbage lineman, that look completely overmatched when they actually have to play.

Exactly. For once we're going to have to play the cards we're dealt and address this during the offseason. Of course like most Skins fans I have a glimmer of hope, but realistically this season is probably done and it saddens me to say it.

I'd say that's a steal for us.
