He is old trade him for what ever you can get, even a klondike bar... as far as I'm concerned. Clear up the cap space by trading older vets and those who have a high cap hit... Resign Scheriff(sp) if we can or you can tag him for one season and try to work out a long term deal.

Definitely agree but I would try to get more than a Klondike bar for him. He should still be worth a 3rd. The issues of him sitting out the season are on him just as much as they are on the Redskins, if not more. Also some fans seem to ignore his age and injury history, his 75% availability isn't going to improve as he approaches old age for an NFL lineman. With the attitude he took last year he has become part of the "past" bad culture that needs to go. He had a growth on his scalp. I would hope he has enough sense to know that isn't the type of thing a team doctor would be an expert on. His prior reputation as a leader and team player go out the window after what he pulled last season, especially implying BA was a racist.
