Oakland Raiders News: What Is Fabian Washington's Value?

I chose to make this it's own discussion because Fabian's value is pretty high when you look at his contract, ability and experience in a man scheme.

I would say that McKelvin and Cromartie are at the top of my list of available corners, but are they worth 10 million in up front guarantees?

Washington's contract only calls for $2.265 million for the next two years and he is just as fast as both of them and has more experience.

So, if he isn't worth McKelvin or Cromartie, just how far would Washington fall?

Is he better than Aqib Talib or Antoine Cason? How about Mike Jenkins?

All five of these players are projected to go in the first round and will get paid more over the next two years than Washington and none of them has his experience.

Washington's value would seem to be highest to a team like Dallas who could use someone that can start this year and prevent the big play that rookies usually give up.

That being said, would Dallas trade their second first round pick to the Raiders for Fabian?

The Raiders have already floated that they have a team offering a second round pick for Fabian.

That could mean that his value starts at a Top 63 pick.

Maybe JaMaal Charles, Trevor Laws or Mario Mannnigham will be around for a second round pick or Devin Thomas is there for a first? Who knows?

At this point, I'd trade him for Dexter Jackson and I do know that I would take Fabian in the Top 50 picks for his contract, ability and experience.

I mean, would you rather give Brandon Flowers 5 million or pay Fabian 2.2?

Dallas deal seems likely
as their trade deal negotiations with Pacman Jones apparently are falling apart. It seems Dallas may trade for Washington. Why not, no to little criminal record, blazing speed, good in man system. In my book it's the smarter choice.

Agreed
Right now with Pacman's fate unknown with the league. I think that he would be a nice pick up by the cowboys. Question is his worth. I could be hopeful and go high round or go toward later rounds. Either way we are shored up on the CB side so whatever he gives us in return will seem like a bonus on the side.

Routt and Bowie Are:
More than capable in the nickel and dime package DBs. In fact they are a sure tackling duo that can both cover well.

I really want Dexter Jackson in this offense, so hopefully he can be had with the pick that we get for Fabe.

Same
I was really irritated we didn't have a 3rd round pick hoping to land Dexter Jackson. I think he'd make a great return man and give J.R. another great talent he can pair up with for years to come. I love how small school guys slide some times.

I think straight up Fabe for Dexter sounds about right.

Dexter?
He is very athletic, but we need height and hopps. Someone who can get up high to catch for Russell. Speed is also important,but who knows how much time he will get in the pocket. A good route runner will be nice also. Dexter only disadvantage is height.

I like Him
I like Fabian's play. He is very aggressive and has the same abilities as Mckelvin. He can hit with a lot of power and his speed is amazing. The only problem with him is he plays ddumb. That can be fixed with a little work. I think he deserves the third spot in our cornerback position. Stanford Routt should be the one traded

I like the wat Routt tackles better:
And he is also cheaper and actually led the DBs in picks last year.

I would trade either of them though, if it got us a talented receiver.

It better be Washington
he'd probably be more valuable and get us a higher pick than Routt.

I guess
I don't want the raiders to be spending too much money on a third string CB.
