....The Washington Redskins reached agreement today with left tackle Chris Samuels on a contract extension, sources said, providing the team with more flexibility under the salary cap to pursue free agents.
But, with the NFL free agency period beginning at midnight, a last-ditch effort to revive a trade that would send disgruntled wide receiver Laveranues Coles to the New York Jets appears to have been abandoned, increasing the chances that Coles would remain with the team next season. ....

I hope they get a CB and a WR and that's it. Maybe a DE. Just keep/replace Smoot. Replace Coles and Gardner. Maybe a add a pass rusher and then just chill. Don't shake up the whole team again.

Hey this is GOOD news for a change............... :headbange
In addition to DE and WR I think the team also needs a Center and a guard ......protecting Ramsey, a true pocket passer, and making holes for Portis is a PRIORITY otherwise our offense won't improve, although a healthy Jansen should make the line better..............

Even though I'm pissed at Coles right now. I would love to see him stay, make some plays and then apologize for being such a douche.

Now what to do with Coles...Like I have said over the past couple of days Coles is not going anywhere. To big of a cap hit.

Add a good center and guard wold have a hugh inpact on our running and passing game.

Problem with picking up a good defensive end is these guys want MONEY. Money which we've already secured in our defense with LaVar, Griffen, Washington, and soon (hopefully) Taylor, Smoot, and Pierce. I don't know how many more expensive pieces we can add to our collection! There's a time in a teams life (that time is when they finish top 5 in nearly every defensive category) to leave the defense alone and draft/trade for what ails ya!
