IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
Cornerback Phillip Buchanon, the Oakland Raiders first-round pick in the 2002 who had fallen out of favor with coaches and club officials in recent months, was traded to the Houston Texans on Tuesday night, ESPN.com has learned.
Details on what the Raiders received in return were not yet available.
The Raiders have been shopping Buchanon for weeks and discussed a possible deal with the Washington Redskins during the past week. Oakland also has been attempting to locate a suitor for its other starting cornerback, Charles Woodson, but hasn't found any takers.
Buchanon, 24, was the 17th player selected overall in the 2002 draft. While the former University of Miami star had slipped in the eyes of the Raiders, other teams felt he still retained playmaking skills and return abilities. In 14 starts last season, he had 59 tackles and three interceptions.
Another attractive element for the Texans is Buchanon's youth and his experience in a system that stressed a considerable degree of man-to-man coverage.
The Texans already have one outstanding young cornerback in Dunta Robinson, one of their two first-rounders in 2004 and a player many felt was the best rookie defender in the NFL last season. Their other starting corner, 11-year veteran Aaron Glenn, will turn 33 this summer. The trade ensures the Texans are prepared for the future at one of the game's high-commodity positions.
In 36 appearances with the Raiders, Buchanon totaled 122 tackles, 11 interceptions and 13 passes defensed. He returned four interceptions for touchdowns, at least one in every season of his brief career. He is also a dangerous punt returner, averaging 11.0 yards with three touchdowns on 72 runbacks.
Buchanon still has two years remaining on his original rookie deal, with base salaries of $700,000 for 2005 and $800,000 for 2006.
Texans are gonna have a pretty sick secondary.

A 2nd and a 3rd for him. I hope the Texans got some lube in the deal because the Raiders reamed them.

Way to much for an error prone CB. Though I could see how they would want to move Buchanon now that they have Reynaldo "lock-down " Hill.

okay - can someone tell me why Houston just completely bent over for a player who hasn't accomplished jack squat? A 2nd AND a 3rd?! Marshal Faulk -in his prime - garnered only a 2nd and 5th!
For the same reason that they gave up 2/3rds of their draft last year in exchange for the Titans 2nd round pick (which they then used on a player that could havebeen had in their original spot in the 2nd rd) - i.e. their GM is a moron.
Either that or he plays golf on Saturday afternoons and doesn't want to hang around for rds 2 and 3 each year. Just make your pick(s) in rd 1 and then head tothe course before coming back on Sunday.

Was it the Texans 1st 3rd rounder or their 2nd 3rd rounder? I'm guessing it was their 2nd.
They will draft Barron at #13 now IMO, but if they don't we could send LJ the Texans for their 3rd rounder.

Three "Get Out of Jail Free" cards.

A 3rd rounder would have been a bargain. That 2nd round would have been boarderline-okay. A 2nd AND a 3rd? Ouch.

Because it's Houston!
Look at the Free Agents they signed this year and the outrageous contracts they gave out.
Houston we have a problem!
