Dave Butz, there is a jersey I want to own. I also would like to have a Riggins, Monk, and Jacobey.

Will there ever be any of todays Redskins that you will ever think of in these lines of a Butz, Riggins,Monk, Grimm or Jacobey?

Maybe not current, but fairly recent who has to be on that list: D. Green.

Of the current crop, the only guy who has any possibility is Portis. He has skills, personality and character and leadership. BUT....

Chances are his time here isn't going to be long enough to earn that kind of status and he may simply not be tough enough. Cooley is the only other possibility, but a real long shot (TE is a tough position to become a super star at and he'd have to quit banging cheerleaders).

But for the most part, the guys on this team are just plain vanilla.

I could be way off base in my thinking here but I imagine we could see a return to the days of players sticking with teams for life if there's no CBA deal and no salary cap. I mean, that's why during the 80s the Redskins could keep players year after year right? Because Jack Kent Cooke just had to write the check, so long as he had the money no one was going to stop him.

With a salary cap there's a lot more player movement than without one.
