Im surprised that with all of this talk about getting Gallery, and about freeing cap space no one has mentioned how much cap space Gallery would take up. The second pick in the draft commands a hefty pay check. We traded up to get Sameuls with the third pick in the draft. Charles Rogers, the second pick in last years draft, received a 9.1 million dollar signing bonus and is due for a 5.6 million dollar bonus this season. The base salaries arent that much, around a million, but its still a lot of money. Carson Palmer collected the second most amount of money of anyone in the league last year and he didnt even play.

Granted, those numbers are still cheaper that Samuels, but if Gallery played under Snyder he would probably ask him to keep redoing his contract as well. Trading Samuels just buys us time.
