I've got to think this is merely innuendo stirred up to help push Samuels to redo his deal. It probably won't work though. But I've got to believe the front office is not dumb enough to give up Samuels AND the #5 pick just for the #2 pick. It would essentially be like giving two players for one (Samuels and #5) for one, and the one is an unproven college player. We're not going to give up a probowler and a top 5 pick for someone unproven, no matter how great the potential. This is one rumor I'm not going to burn alot of energy worrying about. If they wish to trade the #2 pick straight up for Samuels, I could live with that. But what is being discussed now is heavily in the Raiders favor and I don't see it happening.
