I think Smoot wants to be here. He has connected well with the fans over the past 18 months, and I think he's the type that will value that type of experience over insane amounts of money. I think Jansen could also be a Skin for life.
I remember Smoot saying he was going to seek a big contract because he felt like he should have been drafted in the first round and wants to make up for the money he didnt get. i dont know if he still feels that way though.
Id have to say Portis, Coles, Arrington, Washington, Taylor, Samuels, Smoot

If he turns into the emotional leader of our team, he deserves big money. We should be paying our leaders instead of Arrington gobloads of money. I'm still disgruntled he hasn't taken the leadership helm over.

Ramsey, Arrington, Smoot, Jansen, Washington, Portis, Coles
Not in any particular order, but I would never put a rookie on the list, the jury is still out. I'm sure at this point in '99 Chargers fans were making the same list and putting Ryan Leaf on it. I put Arrington and Washington on it because a good set of LBs can mask alot of other weaknesses on a defense. Portis and Coles are both playmakers and can change the momentum of a game on any given play. Remember that INT that Ramsey through and Coles chased the guy down and knocked the ball out? That's a playmaker. Ramsey becaused I think he is everything I would want in a QB if I were coaching a team. I love that guy! Smoot and Jansen seem to be team leaders and that is very, very important when you are trying to win back to back superbowls :-)

Ok, I'm going over the 7, but these are my thoughts/hopes...
Redskins for life:
Smoot - "I hate Dallas!" What else needs to be said???
Jansen
Ramsey
Arrington (pending his contract situation....I hope it doesn't happen, but if he ends up disgruntled with the organization and keeps his agents: Bye-bye LaVar...and don't let the door hit you.....)
Taylor
McCants - Yes, McCants...he's a local guy and could end up being a very good, dependable #2/3 WR for a long, long time.
Cooley - Everyone is very high on Taylor, and understandably so (myself included), but Cooley could very easily slide up to this kind status in a year or two, especially in Gibbs' offense.
Other core Redskins (acquired from other teams):
Coles
Hall
Portis
Thomas
Morton
Washington
