Forced Paycuts: Mark Brunell and Reynaldo Wynn, if they don't accept, cut them to save $4.8 million in FY 2007 between the two of them)
Restructured Contracts (no pay reduction, just restructure): Jon Jansen, Randy Thomas, Shawn Springs, Cornelius Griffin, Marcus Washington, Clinton Portis, Casey Rabach. This could generate $10-15 million in cap space.
Resign: Derrick Dockery to a long term deal
They'll have the flexibility to keep it all together and make another free agency run, if they want to.

I frankly don't want to see another big free agency spree. For once, let's show a little restraint and use cap relief gained through restructuring to resign core Redskins coming to the end of current contracts (Dockery this season, Cooley and Sellers next season). Perhaps target one key free agent to help the D and use the first round pick on Defense as well. I believe the pieces are already in place for the offense to be scary good if Campbell continues to progress. I love that he put the ball downfield at least a half dozen times last week. That was a months worth of deep balls for Brunell, and will keep opposing safeties from crowding the line to stop Portis/Betts.
