Schefter says Redskins best positioned in the NFC East (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2012/11/01/schefter-says-redskins-best-positioned-in-the-nfc-east/)

Good reminder to keep an eye on the big picture. With RG3 our future is definitely bright. Just gotta fix the D.

Hall's gone


So will Fletcher if he continues to play like he has been. He'll be carrying a 5.5 base next year if I'm correct. They aren't going to pay him that type of money only to watch him drop even further.

And buy a gallon of stick-um for use on game day.

As for the 1st RND draft pick and the sustainablity of a franchise...here are the Skins 1st RND draft picks from 82 to 92. Also remember there was very limited FA during this time, so 1st RND picks were, if anything, more valuable.

1982 No first-round draft pick
1983 28 Darrell Green CB Texas A&I
1984 No first-round draft pick
1985 No first-round draft pick
1986 No first-round draft pick
1987 No first-round draft pick
1988 No first-round draft pick
1989 No first-round draft pick
1990 No first-round draft pick
1991 17 Bobby Wilson DT Michigan State
1992 4 Desmond Howard WR Michigan

If you look at the above with the way Allen and Shanny have drafted in terms of both adding picks during the draft and getting guys that can contribute - I think we will be fine without the two 1st rounders we gave up

I'll be doing cartwheels on that date :)

Likewise. Where are all his fanboys now?

I'm a dhall fan not a huge one but let's ask a serious question. Who is better than him on our team right now? Exactly

Agreed. Skins have had waaaaaaay bigger holes to fill than his spot. Dont like the majority of his trash talking and antics but if i had been on as many losing teams as him id probably be a little chippy myself.

Yes. What's harder, finding a franchise superstar QB or finding the pieces that will make the defense improve.

We've done the hardest part, the rest can be addressed.

The question isn't who is better on our team right now than Hall. The question is could we use the cap space that cutting Hall would free up to replace him and make even more improvements.

Cutting him will save $8M in cap space next year. That can buy at least two starting caliber players. So the answer is a resounding yes.

Now you just have to determine if a CB will be on the market who is better than Hall (shouldn't be hard).

It's a no brainer, he's gone. I'd bet my house on it.
