The Bengals keep Kevin Huber, so that potential option is gone as well. Changes to the list have been made.

it's starting to get interesting.
the FA market is suddenly being saturated with DBs and Safeties - some top end folks but a lot of mid-tier as well. Some random thoughts:
- things look good longer term: cap is expected to be flat for the next couple years. but the Skins will experience a major cap plus up starting next year. some of this money will be parked for Robert and Alfred...but they will have a lot more maneuvering room. from what I can tell, a lot of teams are up against the cap wall this off-season. this is likely to continue. FA market will have its gold to mine over the next several years.
- Skins are obviously making moves to clear cap space. IMO...we will sign one, maybe two, of these DBs/Safeties. This changes draft priorities.
- what's gong on with RT? it's a big deal: whether they decide to go internal (Compton) or draft (assuming FA tackle market is too pricey). can't read the tells yet!
- in the out of the box department...I think they realize they need more skill players. the shopping list includes a speedster RB, a gamebreaker opposite Garcon, and a speedy TE. I think the priorities in the draft are going to surprise folks. Shanahan/Allen have demonstrated a propensity to groom lower round picks/bargain FAs except at key skill positions. There, they go after what resources on hand allow.
so.....don't be surprised if the 2nd/3rd rnd picks go after BPA and not what we think is need. and BPA may be at some skill positions.

Burner’s Burning Questions – Offseason Edition, Free Agency – Part Three
Free Agency is just days away. In this third installment of the offseason edition of BBQ, we take our next look at free agency. Once again, the cap limitations that were placed on the Redskins in 2012 will affect them in 2013 as well. BBQ is going under the assumption that none of the money will be recovered and has taken a look at how the FA period could unfold. New developments in recent days have brought changes to the FA pool. Let’s take a look at the latest news and possibilities.
Q1: Who are the pending free agents for the Redskins and of those players, who should stay and who should walk?
Answer: Here is the list with suggestions. Feel free to give your thoughts on who should stay and who should go.
Quarterback: Rex Grossman – Walk. We have two capable QBs and a third prospect can be added in the late rounds of the draft or as an UDFA.
Fullback: Darrel Young (RFA) – Keep. He is a terrific lead blocker.
Tight End: Fred Davis – Neutral. Will he recover from is Achilles injury in time for the new season? Are the Redskins looking for his replacement in the draft? This is now leaning to “Walk” based on some of the contacts that the Redskins have had with TE prospects in the upcoming draft.
Tight End: Logan Paulsen (RFA) – Keep. This blue collar player continues to contribute valuable minutes on the playing field and is a reliable blocker.
Tackle: Tyler Polumbus – Keep. Obviously, Polumbus is not the long term answer at right tackle, but he is a reliable backup who can fill in when needed.
Tackle: Jordan Black – Walk. He saw little time on the field this season and was also suspended.
Guard: Kory Lichtensteiger – Neutral. Lichtensteiger was penalized on numerous occasions and was bit by the injury bug. Josh LeRibeus is ready to step forward. Is Lichtensteiger willing to take a demotion?
Defensive Line: Kedric Golston – Walk. It is time to move on from Golston. If he was younger, then his services would be needed. He can be easily replaced.
Defensive Line: Chris Baker – Walk. A training camp and preseason star did not produce as much during the regular season.
Outside Linebacker: Rob Jackson – Keep. His stellar play in 2012 has caused more than just a few fans to think the improbable – do we trade Brian Orakpo?
Outside Linebacker: Lorenzo Alexander – Keep. The all-everything player is probably a lock to stay – as it should be and it is not up for debate.
Outside Linebacker: Chris Wilson – Walk. His contributions over the years are certainly appreciated, but it is time to move on.
Inside Linebacker: Bryan Kehl – Walk. Little to no impact at LB during the season makes him a free agent.
Cornerback: Cedric Griffin – Changed, Neutral to Walk. Started the season poorly, but rebounded somewhat. Just the cost alone is enough to make the team look elsewhere.
Safety: Madieu Williams – Walk. Simply put, he is a liability in all facets of the game and should not return.
Punter: Sav Rocca – Keep. His production dropped dramatically in 2012, but there are no attractive options in FA. Could the Redskins take a late round flyer in the draft for a punter?
Special Teams: Brandon Banks – Walk. What seemed so promising turned into Antwan Dancing El, Part Two. It is time to move on from this little experiment.
Special Teams: Nick Sundberg – Keep. The long snapper has made a name for himself and appears to have a long career at this vital position.
Q2: With the new offseason set to begin on March 12, who could be released for cap savings purposes? BBQ provides a list. Provide your ideas on who should stay and who should go.
Answer:
Jammal Brown. It is time for him to go.
Cap savings: $1.3 Million
Dezmon Briscoe. Had no impact in his one season here.
Cap savings: $630,000
DeAngelo Hall. If he agrees to restructure, then bringing him back is an option. However, it looks like the Redskins are ready to move on from Hall.
Cap savings: $8.0 Million
Santana Moss. Like Hall, if he agrees to restructure, then bringing him back is an option. It is looking like Moss could be a cap casualty too.
Cap savings: $4.5 Million
Reed Doughty. A special teams ace and role player could be on the chopping block, but he has staying power it seems.
Cap savings: $1.375 Million
Brandon Meriweather. Health is the main issue here.
Cap savings: $1.3 million
Keiland Williams. Returning RBs makes him expendable.
Cap savings: $630,000
Tanard Jackson. Jackson came with a “buyer beware” tag and he chose to take that horrible path.
Cap Savings: $700,000
Chris Chester. Various reports indicate that Chester is having problems with his knees and could be cut by Monday.
Cap Savings: $1.9 million
Adam Carriker. There is a hope that he will restructure, but could be released by Monday.
Cap Savings: $4.0 million
Q3: Which players could be candidates for restructuring contracts to save cap space? Also, which players do you believe deserve an extension – for cap savings and keeping them on the team?
Answer:
Stephen Bowen: 2013 Cap, $5.5 Million.
Adam Carriker: 2013 Cap, $4.0 Million.
Chris Chester: 2013 Cap, $4.3 Million.
* Could be released with no cap hit.
Barry Cofield: 2013 Cap, $6.3 Million.
London Fletcher: 2013 Cap, $6.2 Million.
Pierre Garcon: 2013 Cap, $8.2 Million.
Brandon Meriweather: 2013 Cap, $2.9 Million.
Josh Morgan: 2013 Cap, $5.1 Million.
Brian Orakpo: 2013 Cap, $5.1 Million.
Trent Williams: 2013 Cap, $8.0 Million.
Josh Wilson: 2013 Cap, $5.3 Million.
These players are prime candidates for restructuring and extensions. BBQ would like to see extensions for Fletcher, Morgan, Orakpo, Williams, and Wilson. BBQ would like to see restructures for Bowen and Cofield. Meriweather taking a pay cut is preferable.
Q4: Which free agents from other teams could be targets of the Redskins?
Answer: There are some good prospects for the Redskins to consider – if they become available.
Tight End:
1. Brandon Myers – He catches a lot of passes, but lacks in blocking skills. He will be the target if Davis does not return.
Offensive Tackle:
1. Tony Pashos – Let’s hope that he can stay healthy.
2. Eric Winston – If Winston is affordable, then he becomes the first choice.
3. Sebastian Vollmer – He might be a bit too costly.
Wide Receiver:
1. Julian Edelman – The Redskins like his speed and play in the slot.
Defensive Tackle:
1. Sammie Lee Hill – An underrated player who deserves a chance to play in regular rotation on the line.
2. Alan Branch – Not a top lineman, but no real weaknesses either.
3. Sen’Derrick Marks – A young player who has probably reached his peak, but is still a solid contributor.
Cornerback:
1. Greg Toler – Talented corner could shine in the 3-4 system.
2. Derek Cox – Another talented corner, but has a problem with staying healthy. Overcome the injury bug and he rises to the top of the list.
Safety:
1. Corey Lynch – An underrated safety who would do well in Washington. Also a special teams ace.
2. Glover Quin – Quietly does a good job and has found his place in the league after struggling as a cornerback.
With this list, one or two studs could be signed and two or three role players could join the team as well.
That is all for this edition of BBQ. As the offseason continues, we will periodically look at free agents and the upcoming draft. See you as we go along.

Logan Paulsen has signed a three year contract.
Redskins are taking a look at Antoine Cason, Danny Amendola, Kenny Phillips, Julian Edelman, Brandon Myers, Greg Toler, Derek Cox, and Eric Winston.
Add Josh Wilson to the list of players that could be released.
Some of these players are listed in the latest update that posted (above) a short time ago.

Logan Paulsen gets 3 yr, $4.1 mill with $1 mill SB from Washington. Incentives could make it $7.1 mill total or even void after 2 years.

Some great points here - especially this last one. I am most likely expecting a CB or Safety with the first pick, however I will not be surprised with a TE or WR either. This is a very deep draft when it comes to the secondary; impact guys may be available into the 4th round.
Also, as far as FA goes, your point about the market being flooded is a good one. Even if the Redskins aren't interested in older guys like Bigby or Wilson, their presence in the market brings prices down as the "bargain veterans."
We may just come out of this unscathed.

There's a part of me that still looks wistfully at Phil Loadholt from the Vikes, who, from the last reports I saw, still hasn't been signed to a new contract.
Imagine the upgrade to our right-side running game with him here.
Damn a cap crunch anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Boldin retire if he doesn't get the contract value he wants.

Man...there are always a lot of cuts this time of year, but this offseason feels like a bloodletting around the league! A LOT of big names getting their walking papers it seems like, more so than other years.

What's the plan with that ?
He's our best corner, at a position that's our 2nd biggest weakness, and we don't have anyone else lined up that I'm aware of. What makes him a possible release ?

Rob Jackson is back on a one year deal. Bet its on the cheap and they have a handshake deal on a multi year extension.

Darrel Young is signed. Three years at $6.2 Mil. and considered to be very cap friendly the first year.
The NFLPA is willing to go to court with the Redskins over the salary cap dispute.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...action-with-redskins-over-salary-cap-penalty/
Redskins are talking (meaning, the agent in call cases) with CB Sean Smith.
The one year deal for Rob Jackson is very cap friendly. There could be a wink and nod agreement for an extension starting next year.
Lorenzo Alexander is closer to a deal with the Redskins - maybe by late Sunday.
It is looking like the Redskins will not re-sign Kory Lichtensteiger.

Surprise, surprise...
Redskins re-sign Kory Lichtensteiger to a five year deal - can void after two. More details to follow.

Burner’s Burning Questions – Offseason Edition, Free Agency – Part Four
The new NFL year is just two-plus days away. In this fourth installment of the offseason edition of BBQ, we give you our continuing analysis of free agency. Once again, the cap limitations that were placed on the Redskins in 2012 will affect them in 2013 as well. BBQ is going under the assumption that none of the money will be recovered and has taken a look at how the FA period could unfold. New developments in recent days have brought changes to the FA pool.

London Fletcher: 2013 Cap, $6.2 Million.
Pierre Garcon: 2013 Cap, $8.2 Million.
Brandon Meriweather: 2013 Cap, $2.9 Million.

Cornerback:
1. Greg Toler – Talented corner could shine in the 3-4 system.
2. Derek Cox – Another talented corner, but has a problem with staying healthy. Overcome the injury bug and he rises to the top of the list.
3. E. J. Biggers – The Tampa Bay pipeline could continue if he wants to play for the old boss.
4. Jacob Lacey – Progressed really well during the 2012 season.
Safety:
1. Corey Lynch – An underrated safety who would do well in Washington. Also a special teams ace.
2. Kenny Phillips – Would be the team’s first choice if he could stay healthy.
Two more updates will be added on Monday and Tuesday – if needed.

Q3: With the new offseason set to begin on March 12, who could be released for cap savings purposes? BBQ provides a list. Provide your ideas on who should stay and who should go.
Answer:
Jammal Brown. It is time for him to go.
Cap savings: $1.3 Million
Dezmon Briscoe. Had no impact in his one season here.
Cap savings: $630,000
DeAngelo Hall. If he agrees to restructure, then bringing him back is an option. However, it looks like the Redskins are ready to move on from Hall.
Cap savings: $8.0 Million
Santana Moss. Like Hall, if he agrees to restructure, then bringing him back is an option. It is looking like Moss could be a cap casualty too.
Cap savings: $4.5 Million
Reed Doughty. A special teams ace and role player could be on the chopping block, but he has staying power it seems.
Cap savings: $1.375 Million
Brandon Meriweather. Health is the main issue here.
Cap savings: $1.3 million
Keiland Williams. Returning RBs makes him expendable.
Cap savings: $630,000
Tanard Jackson. Jackson came with a “buyer beware” tag and he chose to take that horrible path.
Cap Savings: $700,000
Chris Chester. Various reports indicate that Chester is having problems with his knees and could be cut by Monday.
Cap Savings: $1.9 million
Adam Carriker. There is a hope that he will restructure, but could be released by Monday.
Cap Savings: $4.0 million
Q4: Which players could be candidates for restructuring contracts to save cap space? Also, which players do you believe deserve an extension – for cap savings and keeping them on the team?
Answer:
Stephen Bowen: 2013 Cap, $5.5 Million.
Adam Carriker: 2013 Cap, $4.0 Million.
* Candidate for release.
Chris Chester: 2013 Cap, $4.3 Million.
* Could be released with no cap hit. Candidate for release.
Barry Cofield: 2013 Cap, $6.3 Million.
London Fletcher: 2013 Cap, $6.2 Million.
Pierre Garcon: 2013 Cap, $8.2 Million.
Brandon Meriweather: 2013 Cap, $2.9 Million.
Josh Morgan: 2013 Cap, $5.1 Million.
Brian Orakpo: 2013 Cap, $5.1 Million.
Trent Williams: 2013 Cap, $8.0 Million.
Josh Wilson: 2013 Cap, $5.3 Million.
* Candidate for release.
These players are prime candidates for restructuring and extensions. BBQ would like to see extensions for Fletcher, Morgan, Orakpo, Williams, and Wilson. BBQ would like to see restructures for Bowen and Cofield. Meriweather taking a pay cut is preferable.
Q5: Which free agents from other teams could be targets of the Redskins?
Answer: There are some good prospects for the Redskins to consider – if they become available.
Tight End:
1. Brandon Myers – He catches a lot of passes, but lacks in blocking skills. He will be the target if Davis does not return.
Offensive Tackle:
1. Tony Pashos – Let’s hope that he can stay healthy.
2. Eric Winston – If Winston is affordable, then he becomes the first choice.
Wide Receiver:
1. Julian Edelman – The Redskins like his speed and play in the slot.
2. David Nelson – Unheralded player who is receiving some apparent attention from the Redskins.
Cornerback:
1. Greg Toler – Talented corner could shine in the 3-4 system.
2. Derek Cox – Another talented corner, but has a problem with staying healthy. Overcome the injury bug and he rises to the top of the list.
3. E. J. Biggers – The Tampa Bay pipeline could continue if he wants to play for the old boss.
4. Jacob Lacey – Progressed really well during the 2012 season.
Safety:
1. Corey Lynch – An underrated safety who would do well in Washington. Also a special teams ace.
2. Kenny Phillips – Would be the team’s first choice if he could stay healthy.
Two more updates will be added on Monday and Tuesday – if needed.
Nick Sundberg has signed a four year deal.

Burner’s Burning Questions – Offseason Edition, Free Agency – Part Five
The new NFL year begins tomorrow at 4 pm EDT. In this fifth installment of the offseason edition of BBQ, we give you our continuing analysis of free agency. Once again, the cap limitations that were placed on the Redskins in 2012 will affect them in 2013 as well. BBQ is going under the assumption that none of the money will be recovered and has taken a look at how the FA period could unfold. New developments in recent days have brought changes to the FA pool. Let’s take a look at the latest news and possibilities.
Q1: Who has been re-signed?
Kory Lichtensteiger
Rob Jackson
Darrel Young
Logan Paulsen
Nick Sundberg
Q2: Who are the pending free agents for the Redskins and of those players, who should stay and who should walk?
Answer: Here is the list with suggestions. Feel free to give your thoughts on who should stay and who should go.
Quarterback: Rex Grossman – Walk. We have two capable QBs and a third prospect can be added in the late rounds of the draft or as an UDFA.
Tight End: Fred Davis – Keep. Will he recover from is Achilles injury in time for the new season? Are the Redskins looking for his replacement in the draft? This is now leaning to “Keep” based on reports that the team wants him to return.
Tackle: Tyler Polumbus – Keep. Obviously, Polumbus is not the long term answer at right tackle, but he is a reliable backup who can fill in when needed.
Tackle: Jordan Black – Walk. He saw little time on the field this season and was also suspended.
Defensive Line: Chris Baker – Walk. A training camp and preseason star did not produce as much during the regular season.
Outside Linebacker: Chris Wilson – Walk. His contributions over the years are certainly appreciated, but it is time to move on.
Outside Linebacker: Lorenzo Alexander – Keep. The all-everything player should be a lock to stay – as it should be and it is not up for debate.
Cornerback: Cedric Griffin – Walk. Started the season poorly, but rebounded somewhat. Just the cost alone is enough to make the team look elsewhere.
Inside Linebacker: Bryan Kehl – Walk. Little to no impact at LB during the season makes him a free agent.
Punter: Sav Rocca – Keep. His production dropped dramatically in 2012, but there are no attractive options in FA. Could the Redskins take a late round flyer in the draft for a punter?
Safety: Madieu Williams – Walk. Simply put, he is a liability in all facets of the game and should not return.
Special Teams: Brandon Banks – Walk. What seemed so promising turned into Antwan Dancing El, Part Two. It is time to move on from this little experiment.

We are all excited to experience the announcement of draft selections IN REAL TIME TOGETHER. If you feel the need to be the first to 'blurt out' the team's picks you are better off staying out of chat and sticking to Twitter. Please refrain from announcing/discussing our picks until the official announcement has been made at the podium. Thanks!
