Redskins writer Greg Trippiedi wrote "Shawn Springs is a guy who brings a ton of consistency to the Redskins secondary along with two major question marks that must be reviewed every offseason. The first one is obvious, and the second is even more obvious, though it manages to slip the mind of the average NFL afficienado.
Question 1) Can we afford the services of Springs?
Question 2) Are we going to be getting the type of on-field returns that we are expecting from him?"

Redskins writer Greg Trippiedi wrote "James Thrash's numbers really can't decline any further if he is going to be on the team again this year. Anthony Mix is going to get a roster spot, and if the team signs DJ Hackett, then he needs a roster spot. James Thrash, at best, is looking like the 5th receiver at this time. Of course, that would ensure him a roster spot...

You have on your roster supereverythingclutch Kicker Adam Vinatieri, and kickoff specialist Shaun Suisham on your active roster. Who do you want...

Redskins writer Greg Trippiedi wrote "If Leigh Torrance is going to develop some semblance of cover skils, it's going to be done this offseason, and he's going to have to roll into camp with them. If he can't impress [Washington's] new coaching staff in camp, there isn't a whole lot of expectation for his future on this team, and in this league."

Few teams in the NFL evoked as much attention in the early rounds of fantasy drafts as the 2007 Bengals.

Marcus Washington is going to continue to do his thing. He's going to rush the passer well, he's going to shut down opposing tight ends, and he's going to eat up blockers on running plays so that London Fletcher can flow to the ball.

Redskins writer Greg Trippiedi wrote "[Todd] Wade proved to be up to the challenge physically, in the rare event he could find the man he was supposed to block. The hits on Jason Campbell skyrocketed when compared to last year, and Wade was the main culprit. The English language does not have a term to describe what a linebacker, Mike Vrabel, did to him when they met in Week Eight."

Redskins writer Greg Trippiedi wrote "For just a moment, bask in the pure absurdity that is Randy Thomas' release fee. If Thomas got a career ending injury at some point during 2008, the Redskins would still be on the hook for $12-14 million in dead cap.
