ACor58 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 For those of you following this, the Skins were interested in Buchanon but he is no longer available. Nate could be on his way out... ** Houston's Sports 610 Radio reports the Raiders have traded CB Phillip Buchanon to the Houston Texans for two undisclosed picks. According to the report, Houston's 13th overall pick is not part of the trade. Buchanon has two years left on his contract worth a total of $1.5 million and will likely seek a new deal. He's had injury problems and doesn't always exercise proper technique -- but nobody can argue his athletic ability. Buchanon's scored 7 TDs off punt returns and interceptions in just 36 career games. www.draftsharks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Why does the Oakland - Houston trade make Clements trade more likely when the Redskins traded for Denver's pick in order to get a quarterback? If they trade the picks to the Bills, they don't get their QB & Gibbs doesn't want his future to rest on Patrick Ramsey's ability to be a good NFL QB. Clements to the Redskins died the moment that Washington got Denver's pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted April 20, 2005 Author Share Posted April 20, 2005 how do you say- "no chance in hell" 310821[/snapback] Don't be suprised man. Clements will be asking for top dollar next year, probably a whole heck of a lot more than he is worth. While he made a lot of big plays last year he also got beat a lot. I hate to say it, but my guess is that he is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isno secret that they are interested in obtaining AUburn's Jason Campbell, whom they feel they can get later in the draft, thus far making their early first round pick expendable. Gregg-O and Gibbs have said all along that they need an experienced corner after losing Bailey last year and Smoot this year. I am not saying that it is a definite, just more likely.

If a team wants a player bad enough they will get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Good for the Texans. Phil Buchanon is a decent all-around CB, and he is quite a gambler - a number of times a season, he jumps in front of a reciever to get a pick. Probably drives the def. cordinator nuts, but I like his moxie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'd re-structure some contracts and/or cut some people to free cap space. How are we so sure Nate's looking for top 5 CB money? I bet he's asking a lot, but maybe it's not much worse than what they offered Smoot? Yes, it's unlikely that it will happen. But you have to admit, it does make sense if TD knows in his heart of hearts that he won't be able to keep Nate anyways. It's unlikely, but you can't completely rule it out.
