Players like Arrington or Taylor are hired guns not true Redskins. I would have traded both for players in this draft that wanted to be here if I was running things. With no let down and even better!!!!! I know you all think these two walk on water but they don't like it here, they don't make the money they wanted[that gun at thier head when they signed should be reported!] or what ever the reason. I don't have time for guys like this....piss off and get someone who wants to be here!

Damn, Pete. I think you captured the essence of how I feel about the Redskins right now. If the salary cap were no concern, I'd trade Arrington and Taylor right now, too. It's great to have a couple of headhunters like them roaming the defense, but these guys are as much of a headache (and headcases) for the Skins in the offseason as they are for the Skins' opponents during the season.
Unfortunately, I think it's increasingly difficult to find "true Redskins" in this era, but the decisions made by the front office over the past six years have contributed to the dearth of such "team players" on the roster. You live by the signing bonus, you die by the signing bonus.
