Rabach to remain center of attention for Redskins.

We are going to extend a contract to Casey Rabach keeping him as our Center for the next few years. I believe this a a very smart move by the Redskins, as Rabach is a good, athletic center who is the leader of our O-line.  We need to sign Tony Pashos(RT 49ers), who will turn 30 at the start of the season.  We also need to get either Rex Hadnot(G- Browns) who just turned 28, or Chester Pitts(G- Texans) who will be 31 this summer.  Pitts by the way, has started every game for the Texans up until 2009 when injury cut his season short. 

I would advocate keeping Chad Reinhardt to either compete for a spot at RG or RT, or be a back-up at both spots.  I would also hang onto Heyer as a back-up for both OT spots.  Mike Williams, Levi Jones, Randy Thomas and Will Montgomery should be left to sign with other teams.  We should retain Fanika, Edwin Williams and Will Robinson as practice squad players.  Our starting OL shoud be LT(whichever Rookie we select in the Draft), LG - Dock, C-Rabach, RG - Hadnot or Pitts, RT - Pashos.  Reinhardt, Heyer and Cory L should be kept on the 53 man roster. 

We should sign Kevin Walter as a WR to help our young guys learn the new offense. I would also release Ladell Betts, and sign a RB in FA or get one in the later RD's of the draft.  I would like Willie Parker or Darren Sproles to split time with Poirtis.  If we get a RB in the draft, I would say Staffon Johnson fro USC or LaGarrett Blount from Oregon.

As for the defense, all signs point to the 3-4.  Some personell changes are in order.  Hanesworth will probably start off at NT, and will rotate between all 3 DL positions. I would keep Golston, Monty, Alaxander, Griffin and Jarmon to rotate amongst the DL. I would search out a late RD draft pick(Possibly Phil Taylor-Baylor) or an undrafted FA to give depth at NT.  I would move Carter to OLB opposite Orakpo.  Wilson would back up both OLB positions.  I would also sign a OLB via FA, and would make a play for Dansby to take over for Fletcher in the middle.  Re-signing McIntosh needs to be a priority.  In the secondary, I would leave all alone.  If Antrolle Rolle is realeased by the Cardinals, I would make a huge play for him, and plat him at FS next to Landry at SS.  If not, I believe we are ok in the secondary with Landry as FS and Horton at SS with Doughty and McKenzie backing them up.


So to recap, here's our FA Signings:

RT - Tony Pashos

RG - Rex Hadnot or Chester Pitts

WR - Kevin Walter

RB(?) - Willie Parker or Darren Sproles

LB - Carlos Dansby

FS(?) - Antroll Rolle
