While I liked Carter, getting younger through Rak, Kerrigan, Jackson and now Jenkins has been to me, a much better plan than holding onto a converted 4-3 end at the end of his career.
Landry? whatever. No regrets. Could have been useful last year given the holes in the secondary, but, really, he had worn out his welcome.

Every front office has to pick their battles. You have to let guys walk all the time with some potential.
You just want to avoid a trend of really talented players leaving. Landry had his wars with the training staff, and two years later we still have a questionable training staff and the Jets (what a great organization they are!) got a pro-bowl safety on a cheap deal. I do think the Colts overpaid him badly, for what its worth.
All in all, it doesn't seem to be a huge deal because we were able to get it together mid-way through last season, so I don't want to focus on the past. The Redskins have what looks to be a league-average roster in the present (not something they had in 2010, 2011 or pre-season 2012), but with some of the highest upside in the NFL at quarterback, which is the really big reason to be optimistic.
