Samuel's Article

So a team can guarentee that they get him, Samuel's might not be interested in every team out there, and as a free agent he may not give them a chance, where as if they trade for him, he has a contract he has to honor.

No, I did not say "guarentee(d)" to get Samuels. I said any team has the "chance" to get him.

JoeRedskin,
Regarding Samules willing to renegotiating next year is great news, but Samuels still counts something like $8,000,000 this year. He is being very selfish. We could seriously improve our last remaining weak spot on our roster (the D-line) with some of that money. Plus with a big signing bonus (which he would likely receive if he renegotiated) he could still make his $8M this year and more.
Although, if he plays like last year, he is not worth $8m or signing him to a huge long term contract. Hopefully he will raise his level of play back to the way he played a couple of years ago.

I don't think Samuels is going anywhere this year regardless of his high cap #. I'm confident he'll have a very strong bounce back season under Bugel and Gibbs' protection oriented system.

i'm pretty sure he's already restructered things in his rookie contract twice. plus would any of us be willing to restructure a deal like this after two very subpar years, knowing that if u do restructure that the team might try to hose u. i 2 wish he'd free up even just a 1 million or 2 so as to give the team enough room to sign the rookies and give the skins a sporting chance to go out and get a solid pass rushing de, but i can see where he's coming from.

I know what you said, what I said was a team would trade for him to guarentee that they would get him, rather than take a chance that they could get him, risking losing a player they have a big need for, left tackles are possibly the most immportant position on the field, with the exeption of QB., with that said I think thing's will be just fine.
