Sounds to me that Mr. Barnes and Mr. Coles should be careful not to air this out in the media. The Redskins hold all the cards here. They can hold him to his contract and give him limited playing time which would affect his player incentive bonuses. While they might take a cap hit, the bottom line is he has a contract and if he intends on being somewhere else then he should just shut up. They can carry this all the way to and trhu trainning camp. Remember what happened to Keenan last year. So his value could very well be a high draft pick. The Redksins would be doing him a favor by releasing him early and they would expect somthing in value as a return. A #1 or the whole signning bonus is really his only option.
