I'll never turn down a chance to talk salary cap and the Redskins future, but with that said, I'm all about enjoying the team as currently comprised right now.

Ride Springs until he's an old man like Darrell Green was. He does get hurt sometimes (though not too often), but when the guy plays he totally neutralizes opposing WRs. I'd extend the guy, to be quite honest. Extending him will actually cut his cap number a bit.

On Washington, I do think it's time to let him go next season. He's chronically bothered by injuries and is clearly a liability in coverage. HB Blades appears to be on an upward learning curve, it may be time to let him start next season. Our ability to do this, of course, hinges upon our ability to replace Marcus with adequate depth next season.

On Griffin, very tough call. He hasn't been the disruptive force he was in 2004 for a number of reasons, but he's still the anchor of a very good run defense. I'm in wait and see mode with him. Still a strong player for us when on the field, I'd try to find a way to keep him at a lower cap figure.

But hey, they're Redskins now, and they're 4-1. Gotta love em.
