I think Carey would be a good pick up for us. It would allow us to pick up either a DE or LB at #13 or trade down.
Ya well too bad Carey just got signed to a 6 year deal to stay in Miami... Slim pickings now in free agency...

Funny how we were expecting teams to let their best players walk. Let's draft high quality and develop our own future. All the big name FA were resigned or franchised by the same teams that DRAFTED them.
Vinny Cerrato was just on redskins radio. After being very ambiguous in answering pretty much everything, he casually mentioned that Phillip Daniels would be a free agent on February 27th.... even though his contract goes through 2010 according to this site. i'm thinking he didnt realize what he was saying and let something slip. Good news IMO. We would be foolish to bring back a 36-year old DE whos had injury problems in recent years.
This could also be a sign we plan to keep Evans and/or Taylor.
He didn't let anything slip, the last 2 years on Daniels' contract is voidable and the Skins appear that they will indeed let him become a FA and maybe try to re-sign him at a lower figure.

My thoughts on the d-line are:
Cut JT and his 8.5 mil salary
Sign Marcus Washington to a 4 mil a yr. contract
Spend the other 4.5 mil on another player like Chris Canty or Dre Bly..whoever...
Halfway kidding....only halfway.....WTF..why not?

Watch Marcus sign with someone like the Eagles, rejuvinate his career and have a probowl season. I'm not halfway kidding.

I won't be surprised to see Marcus flourish in a different system. He doesn't have the range to play SLB in our 4-3 but I'll bet money he'd be a hell of a ILB in a 3-4 system. He's got the size, the ability to shed blockers and can still smash ball carriers all day long.
... i don't see him in Philly.

Our D-Line is in shambles IMO. It was bad enough last year, but Griffin and Carter are a year older, and probably a year slower. Who knows if Daniels/Evans/Montgomery/Griffin will be back...their all FA's. And none of them are truly starting caliber. You think Taylor was garbage last year? I guarantee you he will try even less in what might be the last year of his career. He doesnt care about Washington DC, and he has been "dancing" his way into retirement since last year while he robs us blind of 8.5 mil this year.

This is a product of an FO that is run like a bunch of 5th graders with A.D.D. their philosophy has been to build from the outside in and it has now caught up to them. The next few weeks will tell us all if they've learned anything about football or not.

If this happens, then it is no one's fault but just how things turn out to be. He was injured a lot and would have affected our cap number had he stayed with us. If he goes to the Eagles (or any other team) and succeeds then good for him, but I hope people don't come back and b!tch about it.
