Released:
Atogwe, Bob Sanders, McGahee, Shockey, Marcus Stroud
Out of this group Atogwe is the only one I would look at. Would be an upgrade over Goldson but still isn't the best cover guy.
Potential Releases:
-Santana Moss - Up there in age but still going strong. Could be that guy that we need to stretch the field a bit. He is a heck of a lot more consistent than Morgan.
-Donovan McNabb - I know he isn't what he use to be but he is experienced in the WCO and would be a decent replacement for a few years until we get a rookie ready. He is a better option then most and wouldn't cost anything if the Redskins cut him which could happen since he wants out.
Guys we could look at:
-Nnamdi Asomugha - A little older but still top priority
-Jonathan Joseph - Would be a nice alternative to Nnamdi, cost less as well
-Cullen Jenkins - Would be nice pickup but is also 30
-Mathias Kiwanuka - could be potential OLB
-Santonio Holmes/Braylon Edwards - Someone is getting a big paycheck, the other will probably be gone.
-Richard Marshall - 3rd CB option, cheaper but not as good as the other 2.
-Carl Nicks - Big time money and would probably make us move Iupati to RG. (Might cost us picks, not sure how tenders work with no CBA)
-Harvey Dahl - Drafted by us and placed on our PS, would love to have him back.
-Lance Moore - Would be a nice slot guy. Would come cheap but only question is.. product of Drew Brees?
-Le'Ron McClain - Can run the ball (900 yards a few years back), can catch the ball a bit, helped Ray Rice put up big #'s the past 2 yrs.
Guys I would probably pass on:
-James Jones - Probably a product of the system, wouldn't perform as well here.
-Malcolm Floyd - Probably a product of the system, wouldn't perform as well here.
-Mike Tolbert - Bet he could get a big deal like Turner did.
-Michael Bush - Would be nice to have but I think we're looking for a #3 RB.
-Terrell Owens - Produces but we don't want those type of players w/ new staff.
-Ahmad Bradshaw - Would be nice compliment to Gore but he can probably be a #1 some where. We couldn't give him enough time with Gore.
-Antonio Cromartie - He's the guy that one play gets you an int and the next gets burned for a td. He is also shy about tackling at times. Could be a headache for a new coaching staff and young team.
-Sidney Rice - I think he's a decent player but will probably struggle if he doesn't have a great QB. Probably will be overpaid....
Summary:
For the most part a lot of the best players are tagged or have been re-signed. There usually is a reason for letting a player go. However, there are still some great players out there. Problem is if the CBA doesn't get signed until late I don't see any of them having time to visit teams and work out a contract. Teams might end up frantically rushing to sign their own players. It really would be a mess if it doesn't get signed until Sept. Now if it gets signed within the next few months everything is back on like normal. Until it is signed all of these guys except for the players cut are off limits. I believe in a few days we are no longer allowed to negotiate with our own players either.
