I've also read that Kendall could be resigned to be a back up guard/center, and used at RG if Thomas is slow to recover.
Why not skip this old geezers and address the OL/DL in the draft.

Insurance until the young guys are ready I guess.

I said that if you could get Wynn and Daniels for the same amount of money that you were paying Daniels or for a little more than that would be a good thing.
You've got two guys for the price of one (if Phillips signs) that know the system and aren't asked to do something they can't, pass-rush. They can get pressure and add Haynesworth to the mix who knows?
We can't rebuild the team in one year. We've gotten younger in some areas and kept depth in others. If we could get Washington back for cheap that'd be good too.
This is a youth movement, make no mistake about it. Even though these guys are older they're not the future of this team and they know it. Daniels and Wynn probably don't have any illusions of SB rings. They want to play out their careers in a good locker room, with guys they know and like, and with a coach they respect. That's why they tried to package themselves for a deal.
As much as people like to bad mouth our team the truth is our defense is bad ass and has been for awhile. Almost every win that we've had over the past few years has been because of the defense with rare exception. If the offense didn't leave the poor bastards out on the field for 3/4s of every GD game, they'd have won a SB or two by now.
These guys will be gone in the next two years or until a younger guy can be brought in. So be it. These guys work hard and you never hear them really mouth off.
I see your agument. I think our defense was playoff caliber. I wouldn't put it in the same category as Balt or Pitt. I also get the feeling that the coaches on this team prefer to work with older guys and don't have patience for young guys.

Wow I was hoping he retired, so we wouldn't sign him, we could haved waited until after the draft to see if any other DE's became available.

I was not a big fan of this when I first heard we were interested, but it is smart to have experience that a rookie can learn from. It also keeps us from reaching in the draft and being forced to take a player at a specific position, now we have experience in some of our weaker areas.

Good post. I think that is exactly why we signed him.

He's a good run stuffer and a good guy -- not a bad signing at all.

Whats with Daniels and contract negotiations? Are we really going to offer him something other then the veteran minimum? I also wonder if the Skins are planning on finding a Montgomery type guy with their 5th round pick. Looking through the list of prospects a few guys come to mind.
- Kyle Moore - DE - USC (I like totally found him all by myself)
- Mitch King - DE - Iowa
- Rulon Davis - DE - Cal
- Pannel Egboh - DE - Stanford
- Matt Shaughnessy- DE - Wisconsin
