It's a little surprising that they haven't re-signed or restructured the contract for a defensive player other than Rob Jackson, particularly on the defensive line like Carriker and Chris Baker. And even Rob Jackson signed only a one year deal.
It's still early on, but this may signal that they may be shaking things up on the entire defensive unit. Previously, I thought that they would concentrate mostly on the secondary especially since they don't have a lot of cap space to work with because of the cap penalty.
I would prefer that they pick up one of the oldies but goodies(Woodson, Reed, Adrian Wilson) at safety AND draft one of the best safeties in the draft. The young lion could learn from the veteran free agent and take over after he retires.

I am just curious if people could name the Pierre Garcon of the available cornerbacks/safety, because my guess is we will bring in that guy along with a 2nd tier guy. I think these deals have been friendly enough that with the imminent release of Hall and FD likely resign, that is the only FA move we will make. Pretty sure we can structure a FA S/CB deal to be fairly cap friendly.

In an non cap restricted year, I would be all for this. We could bring in Woodson, have enough for WInston, and maybbe with a restructure or two, have a little bit left for one of the top 5 cbs in the FA class. But with the penalty, our hands are kind of tied behind our back.
I have faith that Shanahan will make sweet cap lemonade out of the cap lemon the league handed him. My trust in the man has never been at a higher level. On top of that, If the last 10 games we saw the real Haslett, then our (pass) defense should improve 5-10 spots this year, maybe a couple more with Orakpo/Merriweather back. NFC East crown should remain in Washington, coutning on the timely return of RG3. (at least by game 3 or 4)

No problem, 4 ints every season he has been in the league outside of one. Definitely worth a 4-5 year 25-30 million dollar contract

Haven't heard the numbers on Kory's deal yet but it doesn't void to 2 years like I thought. A little odd since Chris Foerster has been pretty open about Leribeus pushing to start this season.

SO what was the deal about Steelz tweet in regards to Chester? Is that legit that his knees are busted and they want him to take a pay cut?
