Which one goes? Samuels or Jansen?

Getting rid of Samuels is impossible, he'd kill our salary cap. Not that we'd ever want to get rid of him.

It's possible to get rid of Jansen from a cap perspective, but his cap figure is a relative bargain amongst RTs in the league.

Neither are leaving. And I can't imagine Gibbs would want them to.

Remember in 2004 when Gibbs first came back, the line struggled? Then the next year, after getting comfortable in the offense, they had a great year together. Same thing should happen next year. Keep them together, including Dock.

Just need to incorporate a bit more power running rather than all the stupid sweeps to the edge.

I think Jansen goes first but they will both be back next season.

neither is going. no chance. and yeah, jansen will probably exit before samuels whenever it finally is time.

Troll. Don't bother. I hear Vick is leaving Atl. No one told me that, nor do I have a link. It just stands to reason...

I've heard talk in Redskins circles that both starting OTs won't be back with the team next year. Which one is more likely to be released? Samuels or Jansen? Or is that just an unfounded rumor?...


Unfounded Rumor......

Me personally, I think we are missing one if not two stud o-linemen. Guys like the mold of Thomas and of course the ol' retro O-linemen we had back in the 80's when we would just maul people at the point of attack. I do think that Samuals is overrated but, Doc is doing fine.

Samuels is overrated and Jansen is a shell of his former self. I wish we had 5 Randy Thomas'! Neither tackle will be going anywhere (especially Samuels) because we are buried in their contracts and what would the alternative be?

One of my biggest disappointments of the Gibbs 2 era is that in three season under Bugel we don't seem to have brought up one single up-and-coming lineman.

I was looking at the salary cap earlier and it looks obvious that they want Samuals for at least 4 more years and Jansen for 2 more if they can perform. With that said, I think that we will be looking to draft a solid offensive tackle again on the second day of the draft in the hopes that we find a guy (like Golston) that can play solid ball.

I cant believe that anyone would even think samuels would get cut. They would take a 16 million dollar cap hit. Jansen is possible, but not probable.

Troll. Don't bother. I hear Vick is leaving Atl. No one told me that, nor do I have a link. It just stands to reason...Well that's just rude. I recall hearing something in the summer about the Redskins were thinking about parting ways with one or the other, and they needed a good year in 2006 to merit their high salaries. I figured Samuels was less likely since he just got that extension, but I also recalled talk a few years that Samuels was close to being cut.

I looked up Jansen's cap figures, and they are about $5.8 million in 2007 and over $6 million in 2008. Not exactly small potatoes, especially if the player is not performing up to their usual level. I was basically wondering if any one of them had been playing poorly enough this year that they may be in danger of being released. It seems a few individuals feel that Jansen's play has been to a level low enough that there is a possibility the team decides to move on after this year.

Now, as for your mention of Vick. There is in fact a growing rumor that Michael Vick will be gone from Atlanta soon. Many are suggesting it may come this upcoming off-season. That seems doubtful IMO, but 2008 is a pretty open year, and Vick needs to come back next year and have a good year, or the day that he is playing for the Oakland Raiders is inching closer an closer
