Phillip Buchanon's name has come up a couple of times here. He is not a FA; he is under contract.

He does not like his contract and thinks he deserves more money so he is complaining and asking for a trade.

The next big tackle Buchanon makes will be his first one and he did not have anything resembling a great year. A Bay area Raider fan tell me that Buchanon gets beat deep about twice a game.

So, if the Skins lose Smoot, I doubt that it would be smart for them to trade for (he's under contract, rmemever) a malcontent who gets beaten deep and then start him at CB.

In my opinion, of course...
