Dan Snyder is going to make his move.

'SKINS STILL ANGLING FOR O-GUN

A league source tells us that Redskins owner Dan Snyder is passing word through intermediaries to Miami defensive end Adewale Ogunleye that Snyder eventually will swing a trade for the unsigned free agent -- and then reward him with a healthy contract.

Snyder, we hear, is encouraging Ogunleye to be patient as Snyder prepares to make his move.

Ogunleye and the Dolphins have been at odds throughout the offseason. The Fins slapped him with the highest possible RFA tender, requiring any team interested in signing him to an offer sheet to be ready to pony up a first-round and a third-round draft pick.

Ogunleye, meanwhile, has openly lobbied for a long-term deal or a trade, threatening not to sign his tender until after the seventh week of the regular season. The team responded by cutting his tender dramatically on June 15.

Rumors of a trade to the Redskins (possibly involving offensive tackle Chris Samuels in return) have been swirling for weeks. The thinking in some circles is that, as the Dolphins get closer to the start of the regular season, they'll be more willing to take a player or some draft picks in return for a disgruntled pass rusher who probably won't be in a position to make a difference for the Dolphins until November.

Stay tuned.

I wouldn't give away Samuels for a pass rusher. Everyone has kind of been down on Sam but trust me, the guy makes a very big difference on our O-Line. I'd trade a first round pick and perhaps a 6th rounder for Ogunleye but not Samuels.

I like this move. The D-Line is an area of need and we cannot rely solely on blitzes to pressure opposing qb's. I'm not sure we need to say goodbye to Samuels to do this, but honestly, after the subpar performance of the last two years, I wouldn't shed too many tears. I will be pissed if we give up Samuels and a high draft pick. Ogunleye seems like the real deal, even if he was playing opposite Jason Taylor.

I agree. I expect Samuels to recapture his Pro Bowl form working with Joe Bugel in Joe Gibbs' offensive system. Plus, I'm not convinced Ogunleye would be nearly as productive in Washington as he was in Miami, playing opposite Jason Taylor. The guy is talented, for sure, and is better than anything the Redskins have right now, but giving up Samuels to acquire him would be a big mistake. Also, the Dolphins would have to figure out a way to squeeze Samuels into an already very tight cap space, and Samuels has already indicated he doesn't want to renegotiate this year. Additionally, I'm sure Samuels wants the opportunity to improve himself under Bugel's guidance, and conversely, Bugel wants the opportunity to coach Samuels into the best player he can be.

Well then, Joe, what would you see as a fair value for Ogunleye? Draft picks?

I'm not familiar with them. I assumed they were credible. Has there been issues in the past?

well, its a rumor mill, as in may or may not be true ;) could just be wishful thinking, or a test bubble to see if there's any real interest...

From the "There's a Freaking Shocker" file: The Panthers and the Postons aren't close on a deal (http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/sports/football/nfl/carolina_panthers/9222510.htm) for first-round CB Chris Gamble.
those poston's are just so consistant...

It's a tuff call, but who else could we get as a pass rusher??? Gibbs isn't going to be here when players develope...so using the draft is going to be tuff. He wants proven players
