I was kinda kicking this idea around in my head today. I worry that the Eagles and Giants have really upgraded alot this offseason and the Redskins finished behind these teams last season so it is going to be tougher this year. The Redskins have signed Haynesworth and drafted Orakpo and I think that will help alot but I don't think that it is enough to win out over the other 3 teams in the division (maybe the Cowboys because I think they took a few steps backward). I think the Redskins have to do more so this is my unqualified attempt to make them better. First they need a lb and I think they should go to Marcus Washington agent and attempt to resign him, if he doesn't want to come back tell them they are going to check out Leroy Hill and maybe Washington will realize that he doesn't have alot of options and will resign cheap. I think that is the only weak link left to fill on defense so thay need to turn to the offense now. I would like for the Redskins to make an offer to Levi Jones when he is cut by the Bengals to fill the hole at RT if it is cost efective. Now to the Ladell Betts part. I can't beleive that I'm saying this because I'm not a huge fan of his anticts but I wonder if the Bengals would trade Chad Johnson to the Redskins for Betts,Thomas or Kelly & a conditional 3rd round draft pick. Marvin Lewis always went after former Redskins when they were cut because he coached here and the Bengals have a need at RB. If Betts were traded I would look into the health of Duece Mcallister who is old but hasn't played alot the last few years because he was injured. The Saints released him early and I haven't heard of any intrest in him from other teams so maybe he isn't healthy i'm not sure though. It may be laughable but those were my thoughts today.
