The only problem with that is that if he were to leave, this team won't have much of future because Washington looks like his career is going to start to tail off, Rabach is still solid, but Fletcher is 32, Griffin is almost done, and Santana Moss...well, he looks like Santana Moss again. The guy was always injured and inconsistent in NY and now he's doing the same thing here. He's only had 2 1000+ yard receiving years out of 7 in the league, it's not that he can't play, he just can't stay healthy and that leads to inconsistency. As for Randle El, he should be solid for the foreseeable future, but outside of that, this team is not that well prepared to make a long run into the future.

None of this should be misconstrued as being a "hater," I really like all of these guys, but they don't have much time left and this team needs to start getting younger. I like the mix they have, and by no means are the Skins the oldest team in the NFL or even that close to it, but there does need to be some infusion of young talent on the offensive side of the ball and some more of it on the D Line.

Also, Marty "found" Ethan Albright who was already in the league for 5 years.
