Well yeah, he's thirty, but he's not, like, normal thirty. Remember, he went on a Mormon mission before coming back to play football at BYU. It's not like he's got a lot of miles on his body; he's essentially been warming the bench since 2008.

And even at age thirty, if he's good, that still gives us a good five years of stability, possibly more. Plenty of time to draft a suitable "he'll be here for 15 years" kind of guy.

And I think when Bruce Allen said the team would be aggressive in free agency, I think he meant that they would be aggressive in filling the holes they didn't fill. Pretty much any moves the Redskins make are going to be reported as "win now" moves, even if they're rebuilding.

I think mainly they go after offensive linemen, a nose tackle, and a corner. Hardly flashy positions, unless they sign Nnamdi, which I don't think they will.
