I suspect that Clemons and Salave'a will get some offers as UFAs. So I think that the Skins will have to treat both of these guys as "budget items" and see if they can afford to keep them. Given no cap restrictions, I'm pretty sure that the team would want both of them.

I think that the Skins will keep either Simon or Cartwright - whichever one they think is the better Special Teams player.

Smoot's staying or going is completely dependent on the money. I don't think he will get a deal similar to the one that Champ got in Denver but I can see him pulling down a nice $12-14M signing bonus for a 6 year deal. Will the Skins match that?

I worry about losing Evans and/or Marshall; both of these guys did a lot of good things during the year that were underappreciated.
