If we had to part w/ one more player...

For the FA gurus out there... what center(s) might become available after the draft who would be an upgrade over Rabach. I'm just thinking if we don't get Mack then somebody else will, along w/ Unger, and that should put some C talent on the market.

... cuz yeah of every potential cut mentioned in this thread erasing Rabach saves us the most money.

What about Smoot? He plays 10-12 yards off the line, he is an automatic first down. His cap number is over 4mil. It seems easier to find a 3rd corner than a starting center.

We're way upside-down on Smoot's contract so he's not going anywhere.

Here are some stats on Rabach:
Year Team Starts
2001 Bal. 0
2002 Bal. 5
2003 Bal. 2
2004 Bal. 16 - Starting center Mike Flynn broke his collarbone in camp after signing a lucrative contract the year before.
2005 Was. 16 - Signed as a FA as an upgrade over COREY RAYMER and FREIDMAN.
He did not want to compete at the guard position in Bal. and decided to sign with the Skins.
2006 Was. 16
2007 Was. 15
2008 Was. 16
My point is, he couldn't take the starting spot in Bal. except for injury, and we all know Raymer was'nt the starter we hoped he would be. I think Rabach filled our immediate need at the time. But has he ever had any competition for the starting spot at center and won in his professional career, excluding the wonderful Corey Raymer?
