You've got two guys for the price of one (if Phillips signs) that know the system and aren't asked to do something they can't, pass-rush. They can get pressure and add Haynesworth to the mix who knows?
We can't rebuild the team in one year. We've gotten younger in some areas and kept depth in others. If we could get Washington back for cheap that'd be good too.
This is a youth movement, make no mistake about it. Even though these guys are older they're not the future of this team and they know it. Daniels and Wynn probably don't have any illusions of SB rings. They want to play out their careers in a good locker room, with guys they know and like, and with a coach they respect. That's why they tried to package themselves for a deal.
As much as people like to bad mouth our team the truth is our defense is bad *** and has been for awhile. Almost every win that we've had over the past few years has been because of the defense with rare exception. If the offense didn't leave the poor bastards out on the field for 3/4s of every GD game, they'd have won a SB or two by now.
These guys will be gone in the next two years or until a younger guy can be brought in. So be it. These guys work hard and you never hear them really mouth off.

I think a lot of our players go out to look for better, but only a few actually stay away. I am glad he is back, if only as backup and locker room leadership. It says something about the Redskins, that a) players like to come here -not just for the money, and b) that the FO doesn't hold a lot of grudges or bad blood. If Wynn and Daniels come back and we are able to bolster the o-line, we should have a solid team that can compete in the NFCE this season.
