Redskins Free Agency

The Skins have a number of notable free agents this offseason.  Including Linebacker London Fletcher, who continues to lead the NFL in tackles year after year.  Not re-signing him at least another year or two would be a mistake.  Fred Davis has also done a nice job filling in for Chris Cooley, who seems to be injured more than he's available.  He displayed a play-maker mentality last year many times.  If Skins fans know one thing, its that every offensive weapon is a must on this team.  Every year the Skins seem to rely solely their stout D, while the offense puts up a meager 14-17 points every game.  Maybe 20 with an overtime.  While Fletcher and Davis I think should certainly be resigned, other should go.  This includes Grossman and one of our very many kickers that end up being terrible until they leave Washington.  Grossman is not cutting it if the team ever wants to make the playoffs and compete again in the always deep NFC East.  Relieving Dante Stallworth would add significant cap room for another younger receiver who could develop with whoever the Skins pick up at quarterback.  I've seen a few other articles writing about LaRon Landry and why he should go after two injury plagued seasons in a row.  I disagree to some extent.  Yes he's been injured, but when he's playing he adds another dimension to the defense.  He instills fear into receivers running over the middle because of his hard-hitting ability.  The death of Sean Taylor really destroyed something that could've been great with him and Landry together playing the safety spots.
