Those folks need to know the Jeff George philosophy:

You also didn't mention Babe Laufenberg! I think the Babe might have something left in the tank.
There are several big questions in my mind about Free Agency and the Redskins in 2010.
First, are Shanny and Bruce really serious about that "Future is Now" stuff Bruce put out or not? If they are, then I wonder if they are willing to stick their necks out enough to try to sign Dansby and a top OL in FA. When I say a top OL, I mean a top OL who is a restricted FA and who will cost big bucks and a draft pick. I'm thinking Marcus McNeil to play LT or Logan Mankins to play RG.
Second, are the Skins going to bring in some OL's, as FA's, who are familiar with Shanny's system who the coaches know and trust? I'm thinking of players like G/C Ben Hamilton (Denver), OT Tony Pashos (SF), or OG Chester Pitts (Texans). These type of players might be able to help us in the short term.
Thirdly, are the Skins going to try to put square pegs (4-3 players) in round holes (3-4 positions) in the new defense or are they going to bring in some round pegs via FA? Dansby would be the first round peg. I feel that we really need another ILB to play beside London Fletcher if we're going to convert to a 3-4. As for the DL in a 3-4, I just don't feel comfortable with the personnel we have other than AH. Hopefully, we'll try to sign either Dwan Edwards or Justin Bannan from the Ravens to help at either DE or NT.
Leon washington would be an excellent pickup as a third down back and KR, as long as the Skins are willing to wait for him to fully recover from his broken leg.
Also, I hope we re-sign Hunter Smith.
That's about all I've got on Free Agents.
