Fabini to re-sign.

Nice to see us keeping folks--quite a change from the usual MO here. Maybe this is Vinny unleashed? Could it be that Gibbs et al were the FA problem and not the infamous whipping boy?

Of course, it's easy to not mess up when you take no risks!

Exactly. Entering the offseason with every starter under contract from a team that made the playoffs is a pretty cushy way to start your tenure as "the" front office head honcho. Not to mention we have a big ole pile of draft picks.

Granted, he could have traded the draft picks to make the proverbial splash, but we didn't have the cap room and he made the smart play of standing pat with a team the fans already love (especially after all they overcame in '07).

Safe and sound. Fine with me. And I'm glad Fabini is back.

I don't agree.

They are taking a risk by not going after any of the significant FA's. You can bet that if the team flops this year someone is going to blast them for sitting on their hands this offseason.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. We're the Redskins. Someone will find a reason to blast us no matter what. Be it Sally Jenkins, Pastabelly, Peter King, or people on this site, someone will be dogging us for something. In this case, I agree with our decision to stand pat. Especially b/c this year's FA market was as weak as we've seen in years and every starter is returning.
