I'm encouraged though, thanks for posting this. Hopefully Gibbs has gotten it across to Vinny & Danny that if he's going to preach the "core" skin mantra, then we have to actually sign some of our core guys!!

Your last sentence is absolutely critical in my opinion. The team, with the Friend article, has shown that they're beginning to notice the team's propensity to pay outside players a boatload, while getting stingy with in-house players. If the team fails to regain the faith of these players by putting their money where their mouth is, the phrase "core Redskin" is going to fall on even more deaf ears. The team needs to show it values guys like Jansen and Dockery, or I'm afraid we'll head into 2007 with a discontented roster.

I think they'll get it done with Dock. Jansen's deal helps clear space to fit Dock in. It would also send good messages to the team if the front office was able to resign Cooley sometime before the end of the 2007 season, as well.
