Redskins have not moved quickly to try to sign Eric Winston

NFL players’ union willing to take joint legal action with Redskins over salary cap penalty
According to one person with knowledge of the union’s thinking, the NFLPA would continue to welcome a joint legal effort with the Redskins on the salary cap case. "The real question is why [the Redskins] didn’t seek to join in some action by the players," the person said. "After all, the players’ theory is that [the Redskins] didn’t violate the rules and were punished for not agreeing to the conspiracy…. I’m a bit at a loss why they wouldn’t.

"If you look at everything that we represent, you'll find that the Washington Redskins have a positive image.

Lichtensteiger back, but for how long? - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins
The length of the deal, five years, was somewhat surprising. We don’t know the financial details and it is hard to really judge just how committed the Redskins are to keeping Lichtensteiger as their starter without knowing them, especially the amount of guaranteed money. If the guarantee is $10 million (unlikely) they are figuring on him being the guy for at least the next four years. If it’s $1 or $2 million (also unlikely) his job security beyond 2013 would have to be considered tenuous. The reality probably is somewhere in the middle so we’ll have to wait to find out.
