I don't know.. he just got cut and is coming off of IR from half of last season. He was due around 4.75mil; he can only want so much. Not saying that we're the ones that should give it to him, but he won't be able to ask but for so much.

Did anyone see BA's interview yesterday on Redskins Nation, I caught a part, basically BA said that they have been putting a ton of hours in prepping, talking to the college scouts, looking at FA's to see what plans they have. As always very encouraging that this staff knows what they want and what they need to do to get there. If anyone else saw it and has thoughts about it, ie was it just coach speak, or was it impressive that would be great.

Money isn't an issue anymore. The salary cap is standing on it's last legs.

I saw it and turned to my GF and said, "We're in good hands."

She said, "We'll see."

I've been very impressed with BA. What has transpired beginning with Vinny being let go has made me feel that the organization is being run in a top notch manner. They may rerun that interview today or tomorrow.

They are supposed to rerun it today, there is probably also some link to it somewhere.

Well I mean pretty much every team is doing that.

A few things from Peter King:

5. I think Chester Taylor's the hidden skill-position gem of the unrestricted free-agent crop. He's 30, but a lightly used 30-year-old back who could be a solid co-number one for a team like San Diego, Washington or Detroit.

6. I think these are the five unrestricted free agents who could get the most play when the market opens for business March 5:

a. Linebacker Karlos Dansby, Arizona. Just 28 and with ranginess and the ability to play the run well, he's the best all-around linebacker out there.

b. Defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin, San Francisco. The Niners will have to franchise him to keep him out of the paws of a 3-4 team needing a noseman.

c. Wide receiver Kevin Walter, Houston. With so many teams needing a veteran receiver (Baltimore especially), Walter will have choices.

d. Defensive end/OLB Aaron Kampman, Green Bay. A misfit in Green Bay ... could be happy elsewhere. A proven pass-rusher. Could the Pats bite?

e. Cornerback Leigh Bodden, New England. Saved his career with a respectable '09 season, and the corner market is absolutely bare.

7. I think I'd have put Green Bay defensive tackle Ryan Pickett on that list, and he may get a lot of traffic on the market, except that too many people remember his Ram days. That'll keep the money he's offered down.

8. I think I'm just like everyone else who follows this game: I wonder who will employ LaDainian Tomlinson in 2010. I have a strong feeling Mike Shanahan will look at some San Diego tape, but my guess is L.T. will be too old for the 'Skins.

He would still bite on the double move and get burned over the middle. That would be different from getting burnt down the sideline though.
