Thats basically the D that created Fred Smoot, Antonio Pierce, Lemar Marshall, Ryan Clark, Walt Harris, and a few others. Its always funny to me how quickly Redskins fans forget things, Fred Smoot was great when he was here and then we lowballed him, the same way we low balled Pierce and Ryan Clark. We need to start saving money, eventually we will have to re-sign Taylor and Cooley and if we go after Clements that could prevent us from doing so, just my opinion though.

I'm of the belief that we can afford anything we want. Contracts can be very creative.
As far as lowballing Smoot and Pierce,, Pierce only had one yr of starting under his belt and demanded too much. Smart move on the Fo's part, course, hindsight is always 20/20.
Smoot went to Minnesota and promptly proved why he wasn't worth what he got, and we did the right thing in that case. I don't think that Smoot can cover any team's number one receiver.
i say let him keep walking.

And thank you Lady Brave. My usual haunts (no names mentioned) are getting way too crowded, and it's getting impossible to have any sort of intelligent discussion about Redskins football.
Glad to be here.
