Daseal:

Hope you got some sleep after all that...

I think a lot more of Evans than you do. I thought he was very good until he got hurt. He might require a bit more than the minimun to re-sign and I think he's worth it.

I think less of Royal than you do. I think the Redskins can find a player like Royal on the "cut lists" anytime after 15 August. Even so, they do need depth at TE and he ought ot know the offense by now so I'd keep him around for a tiny contract that had team incentives in it.

I have a hunch that other teams noticed Salave'a take a huge stpe forward in productivity and I suspect that he will get offers that will make him a lot more expensive next year than this year. I want the Skins to keep him as much as you do, but he isn't coming for a minimum number any more!

And you are on target in free agency with the idea that center is the top priority. The interior of the OL was "terrible" under Spurrier/Helton and advanced all the way up to "miserable" under Gibbs/Bugel. The issue is not the coaching; it's the talent.

Barrow will be lucky to play anywhere next year. And if he can play, the last thing I'd want to try to do is to teach a guy who has been playing ILB/MLB in the league for about ten years a new position.
