Re: 2016 Redskins Salary Cap Status

So looking at the cap sheets, here is another part of the equation. We have some important FA's of our own that need to be addressed. Looking at the cap sheets here are the guys who become UFA's this year (not including RGIII b/c pretty sure he is not being resigned):

Cousins
W. Compton
M. Foster
K. Robinson
T. Knighton
C. Thompson
D. Young
L. Paulsen

Of these, who do we let walk, who do we try to reup?
I think Cousins and Compton are no-brainers and we shouldn't jerk them around. These are the priority resignings.

While others may disagree, I think Knighton is close to a priority - he brings a lot to the table (both figuratively and literally). We should make every reasonable effort to resign him.

Foster is another "make every reasonable effort" resigning.

Other than those, the only ones out of the rest that I really make an effort for is Thompson and Young. However, they may not even make a move for Young given how little they use him.

Paulson and LeRib are eminently replaceable guys who need to make vet min deals to stick around.

Robinson is tricky, given his benching, they will probably just let him walk as both Compton and Foster are UFA's and Riley could become a cap casualty, he may benefit being in the right place at the right time for a position that is in flux. A lot depends on how the ILB UFA market shakes out.
