Don't expect the Redskins to go crazy in free agency. They have 11 free agents, but only LB Warrick Holdman is a starter. There could be significant roster changes, though. Gibbs could wipe out quarterback Mark Brunell, wide receiver David Patten, safety Troy Vincent, kicker John Hall, wide receiver Brandon Lloyd and safety Adam Archuleta. T.J. Duckett will leave in free agency. The Redskins figure to make major improvements along the defensive front seven, which became less athletic last season. The key to the team's playoff chances is how Jason Campbell develops at quarterback.

I would get rid of every player listed above ( except JC ) and add in Daniels and Wynn. Let all of them go and start a three year rebuilding plan. Basically start over. Tenn, Packers and Bills are all way under the cap, they all had beter records than us and I would say all three are somewhat rebuilding. They all have better looking futures than the Skins. The mistakes of the past can not be fixed in one year.

I don't think it is a bad idea but I don't think Joe will stick around for that. That is why I don't think they will make all of those moves. I believe they will fill the obvious holes and purge salary when Joe is gone. He was brought here to coach them in a big game not to rebuild.

Well then perhaps he should retire because we are not going to be a Super Bowl contending team next year. Little cap room/ draft picks coming off a 5-11 year sounds like 2-3 year rebuilding plan to me. At least that would be the smart thing to do.

If they turn the defense around, they could be. And Williams did exactly that in '04.

When do the Redskins ever participate in the "smart thing to do"?

One good thing about parity, you are never that far away (unless you are Houston, Oakland or Detroit).

Daniels is a good locker room guy but his production does not merit him staying around. Does he ever put any pressure on the QB?

I would cut Wynn this year, sign Justin Smith, and keep Daniels for one more year. He's still a good pass rusher, although his skills against the run were lacking last season.
