After studying the cap situation for the last 24 hours, I think the Redskins should sign one "elite" free agent, defined as someone pursued by 20 or more teams. I am not sure if that someone should be Nnamdi. If the Redskins do not change their coverage scheme from last year, Asomugha and Hall will look incredibly pedestrian at the corners against other NFC East offenses. Play something aggressive on the outside, and that could be the best duo in the league. Against cover three, we're still at the mercy of the pressure that we can get on quarterbacks.

I think the elite free agents that could appeal to the Redskins include Sidney Rice, Asomugha, Santonio Holmes, Marshal Yanda, Doug Free, and Cullen Jenkins. Of the group, Jenkins seems most likely to end up here on a London Fletcher type deal (17 mil SB, 5 years, 34 mil total contract value, roughly a 20% appreciation on the 2007 Fletch contract). But that would only eat up just over four and a half million in 2011 cap space.

I would spread around the rest of the money to make sure every position coach on the staff got a guy who they felt could make their job easier in 2011.

QB Rex Grossman
RB Jerious Norwood
FB Lawrence Vickers (assuming the Texans re-up Vonta Leach)
WR stand pat
TE stand pat
OL Mario Henderson, Jammal Brown
DL Cullen Jenkins, Alan Branch
LB Matt Roth
CB Ike Taylor, Phillip Buchanon
S George Wilson
