Washington Post (scroll down) (registration required): "There are a handful of players around the league who received the franchise tag who could be trade material, although sources said the Redskins have not contacted representatives for franchised linemen Cory Redding (Detroit), Charles Grant (New Orleans) or Justin Smith (Cincinnati) to this point. Other pass-rushing defensive ends could become available as well, with Oakland's Derrick Burgess and Buffalo's Aaron Schobel -- who has strong ties to assistant head coach Gregg Williams -- both underpaid by current standards and likely seeking new contracts this offseason."

WP: Schobel wants new contract?
Full article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...042402340.htmlOther pass-rushing defensive ends could become available as well, with Oakland's Derrick Burgess and Buffalo's Aaron Schobel -- who has strong ties to assistant head coach Gregg Williams -- both underpaid by current standards and likely seeking new contracts this offseason
First, I don't know if this has any credibility or if it's just pure speculation. My guess is that it's speculation. However, it does make sense. There is no logical reason why Schobel should accept less money than Kelsay when he has almost 3x the production.
Second, this could be a sign of a disturbing unintended consequence of the salary cap shooting up. Players who signed contracts in the slower 2005 and 2006 off-seasons are now making less than inferior players who signed this year. There was already an article about Fanaca wanting more money based on what the Bills gave Dockery- the holdout may become more commonplace instead of just the tool of the disgruntled prima donna Rosenhaus client.
For the Bills, this could mean trouble for Schobel, Evans, Peters, and maybe Crowell and Losman depending on how they play this year.
The NFL is becoming a "win now" league cuz it's damn near impossible to keep a team together.Comment

Re: Redskins want Schobel??
The Hell with that..
They better not trade Schobel.. He's far and away the best defensive player we have.
That aint happening.Comment

Re: WP: Schobel wants new contract?
LOL.
Here we go..
Sooner or later it was coming.. Do you expect him to not want (and soon) a new contract, after Kelsay got that kind of money?
I dont think (hope) this becomes an issue.. This year.. Last thing this team needs.Comment

Re: Redskins want Schobel??
The problem is the Bills just gave more money to Kelsay. Might as well trade Schobel before he becomes a problem and while we can get something for him.Originally posted by clumping plateletsComment
