"Head coach Joe Gibbs said he had identified his "core group" of 15 players that the team has built its foundation around. He hopes to keep that core group together for the long term."That was not a quote from gibbs it was a quote from the writer. The asterisks where added here not in the article.
This is the quote from Gibbs.
"I told them that with the core group that we have here, our goal now would be to try to keep everybody together. That is my job and I started early this morning."
I think maybe the writer came up with the core of 15 and not Gibbs. If you think about it why would a coach name out 15 players making the others feel like outsiders who could be gone at anytime.

Ryan Clark signed with the Steelers per the washington post.
former Redskins starting safety Ryan Clark agreed to a four-year contract with Pittsburgh, according to his agent, Joel Turner.
Clark's first visit was with Pittsburgh yesterday -- he was the first free agent entertained by the Super Bowl champion Steelers as well -- and final details of the contract were settled around 2:30 this afternoon. Clark came to Washington in 2004 after being cut by the New York Giants and was not expected to make the team but ended up getting a starting spot. The Redskins signed free agent Adam Archuleta to the largest contract in NFL history for a safety Monday, but Gregg Williams, assistant head coach -- defense, was still in contact with Clark as of Monday afternoon, according to Coach Joe Gibbs.
Clark quickly became a favorite among the players for his fearless style and friendly demeanor, and, although undersized for his position, won over fans with his determination as well. Turner said Clark leaves the Redskins with somewhat mixed emotions.
"Ryan's quite happy to be going to the Super Bowl champions," Turner said, "and we're very excited about his future there. But there's also a tinge of sadness, because he's leaving a place he really loved and a team that gave him his first real chance to show what he can do in the NFL.

About 2:25 into his Jan. 16 press conference (available on redskins.com) a reporter says something like "Coach, a couple of years ago you talked about keeping 15 or so core players. Do you feel you've identified those players?" And Gibbs says "Yes, I believe we have"
Anyhow, alls I was trying to do was point out where the original talk of 15 players came from

I wish him well, part of the game. I would have really liked to keep both him and Royal. While I'm not sure how much of an upgrade Furia was at the TE position, I know Aruchletta is one over Clark at the saftey. Best of luck to him though, maybe we'll see him in the big dance next year.
