The expectation is that Bob Sanders' backup is going to play a crap-ton of snaps. That's why it has to be someone young, if not someone ready for the role.

Sanders isn't going to get more than a one year guarantee from any team, so why shouldn't the Redskins be the team that gives him that one year?

Given Bruce Allen's knack of signing players to low risk contracts, I say why not. I do want the Redskins to address this issue, although I think Barnes did a good job later in the season as a FS. Maybe we can bring Sanders to tutor Barnes as our FS of the future.
