I'd have to see the list of FA QBs... but, I would think the focus would be shoring up the OL and WR. If Cooley can return healthy, he's good (obviously). Portis and company... not sure about their contracts, but they need to think about moving in a new direction.

Portis is entering his 9th season, so he's not done yet, but the youth movement needs to be considered.

I think Campbell can be serviceable for a year... fix some of their issues, improve the game plan and who knows, maybe he can play 1-2 years while they groom a rookie QB or other.

The Redskins are in need of many upgrades. Their OL is bad. Portis is ready to have a fork stuck in him. Campbell is not the answer. He shows flashes and has a good arm, but is not a smart reader of the defense. So, look for them to go OL or QB in round one. RB in round two or three.

Shouldn't they fire their current coach first. Seriously...Zorn is clearly toast, why are they letting him hang around?

Yeah no kidding.

The way last night's game was going, I half expected to see Shanahan walk onto the sidelines during the 4th quarter, personally take Zorn's headset from his head, and start running the game.

This is interesting.

I'm surprised Shanahan's taking this job. There must be a LOT of money and control coming his way. I just don't see the control thing with Snyder, unless has been said earlier, he realizes he has to change his ways.

With the Dallas job looming and his connections there, as well as potential openings in Chicago, Houston, and Charlotte...it could have been quite the bidding war.
