Comments on a few...
Smoot: I think most, if not all of us agree that we want him here. If you take away the money factor, he wants to be here and the Redskins want him here. But the issue is his price. If both sides are willing to comprimise, he will stay a Redskin, but if one side won't budge, he's gone.
Pierce: The most important FA to re-sign. He is an extention of Williams on the field. He may be a "system player", but he is in the perfect system for him, much like Trotter is back in Philly.
Albright: Most important unsung FA that needs to be be re-signed. When was the last time we had a bad snap on a punt or FG? If I remember, correctly, we haven't had one since he's been here. Gibbs will recognize his value.
Sellers: A great ST player, despite the penalties, and I'm sure Gibbs will take care of that. He's very good as a lead blocker and with his I'd be curious to see him as a short yardage/goal-line back out of the H-back spot when lined up more like a FB. Also, it is good to have one or two "thugs" on each side of the ball to intimidate the other team (something I heard Doc Walker talking about after a game this past season).
Cartright: Sorry to disappoint everyone in "the Rock Cartright fan club", but he just doesn't have the size to get much playing time in this system. As for using him in short yardage, he dropped about 20 lbs to be more of a RB, so I don't know if he would still have the power he had in the 2003 season....I've always liked him, but if he stays, it will be a minimum contract and he will be for nothing more than special teams and an emergency back-up RB.
