Good thread.
GW- He'll absolutely be back. I think he and a lot of the players and coaches feel a renewed togetherness and sense of responsibility to the Redskins in light of Taylor's death and the late season run. Plus he has a 7-figure buyout if he doesn't succeed Gibbs.
Rocky- I highly doubt he'll play next year. His knee injury was very severe and came late enough in the year to put 2008 in serious doubt. I'd like to see a list of other FA LBs. I wonder if we could find a way to afford Briggs...
Carlos- He had multiple ligament tears. Speed and cutting is so vital to success as a corner. I worry about his effectiveness next season. Plus Springs is aging and injury prone. I wouldn't be surprised if we sign a FA corner with starting potential. Leigh Torrence played better every week as a rookie, so I'd like to see him step up. I also wouldn't be surprised if we drafted a corner.
Springs- If Carlos hadn't gotten hurt, I would say Springs leaving would be a no-brainer. Now I'm not sure. He wasn't willing to restructure last year. Hopefully he will this offseason. I personally think if he stays healthy he has another very good year left in him.
Doughty- After his jitters in the Dallas game, he has really settled down and played good football. I think he can be a good safety. This was only his second season, and he's getting better. Why not stick with him?
Marcus- I'm kind of up in the air on this one. Kind of like my Springs response- if Rocky hadn't gotten hurt it would be easier to see him go. Maybe he'll restructure too. He's certainly pretty damn good, but also has been an injury concern at times.
Cornelius Griffin- He could be this year's Joe Salave'a. You gotta think we're going to go after some more D-lineman in either/or the draft and free agency. He's frequently injured and also aging.
Phillip Daniels- I love this guy. But he's aging too. He is very durable and a good leader. I say we continue to rotate him with Chris Wilson, who I want to see us continue to develop into an Osi Umenyiora-like DE...
Kedric Golston- young and strong, he'll stick around and continue to be an important part of our D-line rotation.
Randall Godfrey- Gregg Williams had to talk him out of retirement this year. I doubt he comes back again. If he doesn't you'll see more of HB Blades, which is fine with me.
Depth- We need more at LB, and I'd like to see us add an elite interior D-lineman to help take some run-stop pressure off of the lineman.
