Rich Tandler listed 5 FA's who he thinks the Skins should continue to pursue:

S Ryan Clark—They still need an experienced safety and Clark could fill the void until Phillip Thomas and/or Bacarri Rambo are ready to play.

I agree. He would be a leader and mentor in the secondary, IMO. Also, he already knows the defense. He may need some time to get used to the idea that he's not going to get the contract he would like to have at this point in his career.

OLB Anthony Spencer—As noted here yesterday, the Redskins still need some depth at outside linebacker. Given the microfracture surgery he had last year he might not be the ideal option, but there aren’t many out there.

Again, I agree. If it looks like he is going to recover fully, we would be in a position to wait for him. Medium risk, very high reward, IMO. He may turn out to be a great signing for some team.

WR Robert Meachem—I get the feeling that the Redskins are going to add another veteran receiver as insurance in the event of either a problem with Leonard Hankerson’s recovery or the inability to land a receiver in the draft. Meachem hasn’t been very productive the last two seasons (average 15 rec., 265 yards, 2 TD) but he has size (6-2) and speed to be a contributor as a No. 4 wide receiver.

I disagree. How many #4 receivers do we need? We'd be better off signing Kenny Britt if management believes that they might be able to help him turn around his career. Then we're looking at a potential #2 receiver.

C Brian De La Puente—The former Saint is still out there after visiting the Redskins last week. At 306 pounds, he’s could easily get up to Jay Gruden’s ideal size for a center. At age 29 he’s a medium term solution in the middle of the line.

To me, this would depend entirely on the contract. Kory can play center, but if we could get De La Puenta, it would definitely strengthen the OL.

OT Eric Winston—...there are few options left that would be a clear step up from the much-maligned Polumbus. Winston has a chance to be one of them and he could be a good fit as long as they don’t pay him like he’s the savior.

I'd be OK with Winston. Tyson Clabo might be an option, as well.

He didn't mention Owen Daniels but I like the idea of giving RGIII another weapon, plus I think we need some insurance at receiving TE.
