Hightower - i think he is our best option as our starting runningback with helu being mixed in heavily and royster (or some late round draft pick/ufa guys) battling for 3rd string and pratice squad.

With his injury I think we could sign him to a modest 3 yr 4.5 mil total contract.

Carriker - One of the quickest and best ways to improve depth is to upgrade starters and I think this might be the case here. If we can add a better end and slide carriker to a backup/fill in role I think we improve in two areas. On the flip side, upgrading carriker isnt at the top of my list of must do's this season either.

Another modest 3 yr 4 mil contract should do.

Golston/mcintosh - let them walk. I think rocky wants more than he is actually worth in our 3-4, he'll have better days back in a 4-3 where he can extend his career for a few more seasons. getting 1 or 2 potential starter MLBs is a high priority this offseason imo. wouldnt mind seeing a decent contract offered to the best avail mlb FA and a 3rd or 4th rounder used on a rookie. Also i havent given up on lorenzo alexander being given a chance to backup if riley or FA replaces rocky.

Montgomery - Should def resign. He is a decent guard in our ZBS and has proven to be a serviceable backup center. If we can upgrade at center and move montgomery to backup im all for it.

Also he would be on the cheap imo. 2.5 mil 3-4 yr deal. Quality depth and spot starter is what this team needs more of.

Polumbus - I dont have much hope for him as a starter and not even really as a contributer in 2012 but id offer him a workout contract and let him be a warm body in august. if he makes it, great. unless we get saddled with injuries i dont see his name being on the 53 for any game next season.

Stallworth - couldnt really care either way. his production and what he brings is easily findable and replaceable, the stallworths of the nfl are a dime a dozen imo.

[over the mountain]

i dont think there is any chance the ravens let ben grubbs walk. He is considered their best O lineman and their O line was dysfunctional when he was out for a few games earlier this season.

Rice and Grubbs are huge priorities for the ravens.

Tim Hightower: If he shows he's healthy do you keep him or do you accept that we gave up a 5th (and Holliday) for a couple of weeks of Tim Hightower and let him go and ride the ROY-ster train?

Adam Carriker: Are you ready to hand over his spot to Jenkins and find someone else to provide depth?

Kedrick Golston: Um...I'm not really sure what to say here

Rocky McIntosh: Ditto

Will Montgomery: You can likely get him back for cheap. But do you say screw it and maybe try to draft a young C and move on without Montgomery? Or maybe you sign Grubbs and move Kory L. to C?

Tyler Polumbus: Has he shown you enough to offer him a contract to come back and compete for a T position

Donte Stallworth: Since returning after getting cut he's been a very clutch receiver, but should he stay?

Obviously, everything that follows here is based on the idea that reasonable contracts can be negotiated for players I would want to keep. No one on this list is worth saddling the franchise with a huge multi-year deal with $30M guaranteed for example...


Hightower - - if he is healthy, keep him.

Carriker - - keep him until Jenkins shows that he can play against NFL starters in games that count in the standings.

Golston/McInstosh - - meh! neither is going to be a cornerstone of the defense; neither will embarrass the team if they have to play for a few series a game or be a starter for a week while someone gets over a minor injury.

Montgomery - - adequate and nothing more. team can do better and worse by making a change here. hope he is willing to work cheap...

Polumbus - - keep him. I think he might start next season.

Stallworth - - bring him to camp and let him compete for a spot next season the way the team did last season. If he beats out other WRs, good on him; if not, vaya con Dios.

[SFREDSKIN]

Tim Hightower: Sign him to a 1 to 2 year contract

Adam Carriker: Sign to 1 year contract, if he doesn't like it say goodbye

Kedrick Golston: Same as Carriker, I like Golston's motor and character

Rocky McIntosh: Time to say goodbye

Will Montgomery: Sign him to 2 year contract

Tyler Polumbus: Bring the kid back for depth

Donte Stallworth: Thanks for the memories, Redskins need to get younger at WR.

[Pigskins]

I say get a true number 1 in free agency and go with the FA gaffney moss hankerson and let stallworth fight With the young guys for the 5th spot

Hilarious that some are saying Adam Carriker might be a back-up. Based on what? Jenkins' potential? That's silly. Carriker has been more than solid, definitely a starter in this league. He's a keeper. I wonder if he tacked on a few more sacks and landed in the Pro-Bowl, how folks would feel?

I'm honestly on the fence about Hightower. Only because he started out so well and loves being a Redskin. We need more guys like that around here. And it's not like he's old. You're generally one injury away from signing a Rashard Choice, so I say bring Tim back.

Rocky, Sellers, Goltston, Monty - Gone baby gone.

I would feel like I was watching a different player.

lol nice Tripp...but Carriker is not that bad. Quality vetern presence who could be in the rotation backing up both Jenkins and Bowen. We are already losing Gholston, losing both would be bad. You could still draft depth for Gholston spot, while keeping a contributing player like Carriker in his prime. Sign him for to an affordable 2-3 year contract.

I agree with everything you say here except for Monty. Carriker has definitely been more than solid, and is definitely not a weak link. With Jenkins back, his pt will be reduced, but since when is having quality depth a bad thing? Carriker definitely comes back next year, upgrade or not. Who cares who gets the start as long as all our defensive linemen stay fresh?

As for Hightower, again I agree. I love his attitude, but the on field results haven't been that impressive. I bring him back on a one year deal as a backup to Helu, and I'd let him battle with Royster for the backup job.

Rocky - yeah, gone.

Golston - Sad to say but he's just a body at this point. We might as well trade him in for a body that's better suited to play his position.

Montgomery - upgrade or not, bring him back. He's not a top notch center by any means, but we could definitely do worse. Even if we upgrade I'd still like him for depth.

Sellers - save us the trouble and just retire.

Polumbus - bring him back for depth.

Willie Smith - bring him back for depth too, and possibly let him battle for the RT spot.

Stallworth - bring him back only if Redskins do not seek an upgrade.

Agree with you . I would like to see Landry back , as long as he is healthy and dedicated to the game . London , I would hate to see him leave , even with Riley looking very solid .

I think Moss is still a solid 2 or 3, AA won't make it IMO and Gaffney is a 2 at best so we need a true 1.. Is Hank the guy? Who knows but having a bad injury your rookie year doesn't look good

Bowe is exactly the kind of guy I wouldn't trust after giving a big payday. His work ethic leaves a lot to be desired.

Thank you. I think this front office is smart enough to not go after a guy like Bowe. Let someone else overpay for his inconsistent play.

How about if the Redskins give Malcolm Kelly another look IF and that is IF he is healthy. It could happen.

If he's truly healthy, I'd have no problem giving him a look in camp.
