He should be gently encouraged to retire while being assured that he will join other Redskins greats in the Ring of Honor.If he doesn't want to retire, then he should be informed that he is not in the team's plans for next season.
I can't imagine how hard it must be for a great football player who loves the game to retire. Many great players didn't know when they were done and played their final seasons on a team other than the one where they achieved their greatness. Art Monk (Jets) is one example.

I sure hope not.
And if he does decide to play again next year, I hope the Redskins aren't dumb enough to sign him back if he's looking to be a starter.
Fletcher will either retire or be cut. Barnett will probably be in the mix to replace him next year.

Love me some LF but it is time to move one for both sides. His physical failings now outweigh his mental capabilities and emotional leadership on the field. Time to retire and get put up on the ring of honor.

He's done. Even if he wants to come back we should move on.
I couldnt agree more. No team hangs on to over-the-hill players like the Skins do.

Are we resigning P Riley?

Fletch is our greatest FA signing ever. He didn't break the bank, and he gave many more solid years than any of us could have hoped for. That said, we are probably watching his final few games. I hope that he's added to the Ring of Honor early next season. In Joe Gibbs parlance, he was a true Redskin.

Is it me or does Riley just seem to be sort of an average player?
Riley is solid enough. Worth re-signing to a modest deal.

Brian Orakpo wants to return for “title shot” in Washington | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/12/05/brian-orakpo-wants-to-return-for-title-shot-in-washington/)
I'd like to see Orakpo stay. I don't see us letting him go, but we should bring in him competition. It'd be legit for us to have a career Redskin. I can't think of any career guys we've had in recent memory except Cooley.
The only people I can see starting and ending with the Skins are RG3, Alfmo, Kerrigan and Williams. But then again I can totally see us trading them away sometime in the future. We always seem to either trade away talent or let them test FA.
