I think if they could get something for McCants, which they won't, they'd pull the trigger, but I think they may wait a year to see if Barrow can recover.
Wynn has been playing very well this year but I'm not sure if he is a 5 million dollar player, which is what he gets. The fact that the cap hit wouldn't be huge if he was cut makes him a target.
The Brunell contract sucks ass - there is no getting around it. If he had any decency, he would renegotiate his contract at the end of this year to make it MUCH smaller but that would never happen.
Based on contracts, talent, and Gibbs-player qualities, here are our long term guys I think:
Offense: Jansen, Portis, Coles, Cooley, ??
Defense: Smoot, Arrington, Griffin, Springs, Bowen, Washington, Wynn, Pierce.
I think if Sean Taylor extracts his head from out of his ass, you can put him on that list also.
Samuels is really questionable considering his huge cap number and his sub-pro bowl caliber play.
Gardiner is sort of tough to figure. He has been playing well, but I'm just not sure if he is a Gibbs-type player.
Finally, Ramsey is the big question mark. I am convinced that all this talk of Gibbs having no confidence in Ramsey being able to get it done is a bunch of bullshit. Ramsey is a young quarterback in a new system and Gibbs has NEVER put a guy in, in this situation unless he had no other choice.
