The Raiders need to get a big bodyguard to stave off having more Agents beat them up and take their lunch money, because they just got robbed. I guess the Raiders panicked. That's probably 3 1/2 TIMES more money that Javon Walker is worth. WOW!

Whoa. Anyone who thinks the Redskins are poorly run, should be grateful they don't cheer for the Raiders.. .wow.

I have no doubt the Redskins get face time with at least three or four players in "Need" positions between now and the draft. They will probably choose to acquire at least one or two of those before the draft, to allow them to concentrate on specific need and to allow them to use the draft for quality depth in the later rounds. In June, a whole new crop of Free Agents will also come available. They may not be quite as sexy as the Randy Mosses and Asante Samuels of the league, but there will be quality players released in June, and I expect that contrary to the early FA signing period, after the draft and in the June period, we'll see a bit more activity. We'll know exactly where to focus down. Of course, it's harder to predict that specific players will be available, if they are targeting specific ones; they'll be dealing at least partially with the leftover. But leftovers can be good too.

I'm not sure the Redskins would be willing to part with what it would cost to trade for him either. I do think they'll get a receiver sometime this off-season though.
