Grossman
Sellers
Buchanon
Heyer
Blades
Wilson

It doesn't say so on the salary-cap section, but I'm told Moss is also up for a new contract this year.

Also there is we do not have the info on guys signed this year like Armstrong, Banks, Torain, Williams and Holliday

On top of all this it seems we are inevitably eating the guaranteed contracts of McNabb (3.75 mil), Haynesworth (3 mil), Portis (5.44 mil), Dockery (4 mil), and Kelly (0.316 mil). There might be even more big named cuts of declining injury prone guys such as Carter (10.47 mil-but I'm sure that is like Moss's contract and is not correct), Rabach (4.43 mil), Hicks (2 mil), or Kemoeatu (2.867).

In the 6 years I have been a serious Redskins fan I cannot remember a time when we have had to extend so many players. I cannot remember a time when we have had to extend non-starting material players. I have no idea who will be given extensions, or what their terms will be. I forsee the amount of guaranteed money we will be eating limiting who we will be able to sign; especially because the new cba is supposed to not rise as much as we have been accustomed to. Also with our 3rd and 4th picks gone it will be difficult to reload as much as we would like, making it possible that we will extend people we do not desire to. I hope we will be able to keep who we want to keep and have enough room to sign an impact free agent or two. Not knowing how the cba is going to pan out makes predicting things like this difficult, but what do you guys see happening to our players with expiring contracts? I hope we don't let any starters walk, we are thin enough on talent as is, and don't have the means to reload right now. I also hope that our desperation doesn't make us overpay. The offseason is normally when I have the most hope for our team, but I am nervous that this offseason possibly might hinder us more than help us.

I would try and trade Rogers and Rocky, or get something for them, anything. I'd bring back Grossman, Blades and Brown as starters, bring back Reed for back up and teams and get rid of Wilson, Sellers, Heyer, Buchanon and Goldston. I'd also try and trade anyone that has value, go 1-15 and have the first pick in the 2012 draft.
