I think the team may be seriously looking at Pope. Here's why:

1) They really didn't make much of an attempt to keep Royal around. This tells me that they had an improvement in mind, and I don't think that was Fauria.

2) Jason Dunn, who played for Al Saunders in KC is the perfect blocking TE for a Joe Gibbs offense. He could be aquired relatively cheap (6th rounder should do it). To date, I haven't heard as much as a rumor linking the teams. I don't think this is because the Skins lack interest in him, but I don't think they will even consider trading for him until after the draft, because of interest in a guy like Fasano or Pope.

3) Fauria's contract is less than 20% signing boni, meaning he could be cut with a very small cap hit on the eve of the season.
