Phillip Daniels is a great locker room guy and a heady player on the field. If he chooses to retire, he will be missed.

I agree. He's a very underrated key cog in our run defense.
From a cap perspective, there are only two things the Redskins should be thinking about doing with him:
1) Cutting him outright (or letting him retire, either one), thereby saving $3.0 million in 2008.
2) Extending him for another three years in order to keep him and get his 2008 cap number ($3.75 million) down. A simple restructure will do no good, he only has one year left on his deal.
I prefer #2.
