Reports from the Houston Texans GM Rick Smith, The Texans have all but finalized a trade with the Oakland Raiders that send Steve Slaton, Pro Bowl Tightend Owen Daniels and the #20 pick in the 2010 NFL Draft for Nnami Asomugha, Michael Bush and Oakland's 4th round pick in the upcoming draft.
"We feel that if you are going to get something of value, you have to give up something of value" says GM Rick Smith. "We love Steve and Owen and both will be remembered as key players for the Houston Texans"
Slaton is coming off a disappointing sophomore year that resulted in missing the last five games due to nerve damage that was corrected this off season. Owen Daniels is coming back from season ending knee sugary. "I am shocked!" says Daniels, " I am totally in disbelief right now. I never saw this coming."
In trading for Asomugha, it fills the hole left by Daunta Robinson, who departed for the Atlanta Falcons as a unrestricted free agent, this offseason. Michael Bush will be used as the short yardage back as the Texans will look to the draft to fill other needs.
