Here's an idea for a permanent solution to all this, albeit a long term one. 2007 will be the Skins 75th year. The Skins could use that anniversery to set up a "Super Hall of Fame" of sorts (Snyder loves a good marketing scheme) and officially retire 4 other jerseys for a total of five, or one for every 25 years the team has been in existence. Then they could say that they will retire one jersey every 25 years. That'll stretch out the retiring of jersey's for a long time.
Then using SportsCurmudgeon's idea, hang the jersey's on the Ring 'O Fame with their plaque as a tribute to the guys that made the number famous, but make them available for use by the current team.
That would solve the problems for a long while... the Skins won't have retired ten jerseys until 2132!
And who knows if the NFL will still be around then...
