The Haskins Threat

[Warthog]

The dumping or trading of almost all the aging FA is pretty obvious. I think Reed and Davis will both retire. Cleaning out the FA will give the new GM and HC a lot of cap money to work with. It also forces the Redskins into a rebuilding mode, which Bruce Allen has avoided like the plague.

It all depends on what Snyder does at the end of the season. He could put the Redskins on the right path by firing Bruce Allen and Callahan at the end of the season AND hiring an NFL-savvy GM under the condition that he gives him full power to turn the team around.

The team has many favorable issues:

1. Fan base has hit absolute rock bottom and 20-years of losing football. Easy to build on that and recover.

2. Pretty easy path to clean all the deadwood FA. Reed, Davis, Richardson, Trent Williams (high value trade), Moses, Norman, Kerrigan. Decision point on Scherff. He was a Pro Bowl baller in his first seasons but this this year he’s been horrible. I can’t tell if it’s partly due to Moses playing so poorly or he’s just having a bad year. Way too many penalties.

3. Good base of rookie players. With good coaching this would be at least an average team. With another year of good drafting will make this team better. Spending some cap money on a top TE would make for a very good receiver group. Draft picks for OL.

This team could turn around if Snyder takes the right steps and acknowledges past mistakes. Keeping BA in any capacity will kill the GM and/or HC hunt.
