This just defined the Washington Redskins. What's in store for the 'Skins? They may, just may get into the playoffs this year.  Then the bleeding starts. Players they want to keep will have to be let go because the can't afford to keep 'em all with those big FA contracts and there will be no young talent moving up to replace them. Does that part not sound familiar?They will drop off the map. It will take YEARS before they can come back. I don't know why they do this. How many times does it have to be tried before these teams realize that teams out there that have been building their team and holding onto valuable players will BEAT THEM EVERY TIME.</blockquote>
