I look at "who to keep and who to let go" a little differently. First of all, contracts dictate a lot of potential moves, so financially it might not make good sense to move players that are under performing. Most of the problems with the Redskins stem around the fact that other teams are more athletic, faster, stronger and younger. These problems cannot be fixed overnight. The bright side is all these attributes tend to go together. Younger more skilled players tend to be more athletic, faster and stronger. To me, its a matter of attrition. Look to move the older players or allow their contracts to expire. Make an effort to get quality backups for the aging players that you decide to keep. Here is my list of aging players that need to be replaced or need quality competition.

Ethan Albright
Jason Campbell
Todd Collins
Phillip Daniels
London Fletcher
Cornelius Griffin
Santana Moss
Clinton Portis
Casey Rabach
Antwaan Randle El
Chris Samuels
Mike Sellers
Hunter Smith
Fred Smoot
Randy Thomas
Renaldo Wynn
