I think one of the first two need to happen with both and I thought this woulda happen by now. Thoughts?

I want Bowen to stay. If at a lower rate then fine. But I want us to as many fresh, capable, D-lineman as possible so that Haz can rotate them like he likes to do.

Chester can go bye bye IF we sign a guard

Bowen is Hatcher's best friend, and I am sure they lured him here with that (to a degree; not to say the $$ didn't hold sway). I suspect it was with a view toward negotiating a lower number with Bowen so that he could also stay, which makes great sense to me.

I get what you're saying. I think it would be a shame for Hatcher to come here only to see his best friend cut.

On the other hand, pro football is a business and Bowen has underachieved based on the value of his contract. Unfortunately, he has been a non-factor in rushing the passer. So now, if he wants to be on the team with his best friend, it's up to him take a pay cut.

Sentimental reasons aside, I don't know why several posters have said they want him back. He's been no better than average since he's been with the Redskins.

there is no way they can afford to pay Bowen $7 million for a part time player

offer Bowen a new smaller contract,or cut him. If they cut him, they would create $2 million in cap space, however there would be $5 million of dead cap space too
