Today's Washington Times quotes Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs as being far less optimistic that a trade with the Jets for Laveranues Coles will be worked out. The Redskins sounded like they were resigning themselves to having Coles return for 2005. Gibbs was adamant that Coles would not be traded to the Cowboys .
Gibbs also sounded optimistic that the club would be in the mix for free-agent-to-be Fred Smoot. The cornerback is another player who is apparently high on the Cowboys' wish list.
