So who is the Redskins veteran that Gibbs is trying to resign? My guess is Samuels. I have a feeling Smooty is gone, plus the Skins are kind of handcuffed until they finalize Samuels' situation. So I'm guessing Samuels is the priority right now in the front office. Any thoughts?

Would gibbs of used the term re-sign rather than re-negotiat if he was talking about Samuels. I think it is smoot because of his wording.

Ya I was thinking that too. Well maybe the thinking is - if Samuels doesn't restrucutre then he's gone - so in that light it could be viewed as a "re-signing".

I don't think those are Gibbs words so much as they are the Washington Post's. And I ain't no English major but wouldn't renegotiating be the process of getting the new contract done whereas re-signing is actually putting pen to paper?
