NFC EAST

Washington Redskins

Potential key free agents: UFA -- LB Khary Campbell, DE Phillip Daniels, FS Reed Doughty, DE Demetric Evans, OG Jason Fabini, OG Pete Kendall, LB Marcus Washington. RFA -- DT Kedric Golston, DT Anthony Montgomery.

What worked last year: Clinton Portis, the run defense.

What needs fixing: QB Jason Campbell, offensive tackle, D-Line.

What's the game plan: Coach Jim Zorn must figure out how to best use Campbell. Re-signing CB DeAngelo Hall is a priority. Reports have the Redskins seriously pursuing Haynesworth, who would make a big difference. Dallas UFA defensive end Chris Canty is also desired, according to reports. It's likely that the team will acquiring a young edge pass rusher and at least one OT.

Dallas Cowboys

Potential key free agents: UFA -- WR Miles Austin, DE Chris Canty, WR Sam Hurd, DT Tank Johnson, LB Zach Thomas, S Keith Davis, LB Kevin Burnett.

What worked last year: Depth at running back, the defensive front seven, Jason Witten.

What needs fixing: Team chemistry, QB Tony Romo sits to pee's poise/confidence.

What's the game plan: They will have to restructure some contracts and maybe cut players to make a serious run at Ravens UFA linebacker Ray Lewis, but they could try. T.O. could be cut but it doesn't look that way. A younger backup to Romo sits to pee must be acquired and getting WR Roy Williams more involved should provide more scoring options. Despite talent, the Cowboys didn't put up enough TDs.

New York Giants

Potential key free agents: UFA -- SS James Butler, K John Carney, CB Sam Madison, CB R.W. McQuarters, WR Amani Toomer, RB Derrick Ward. RFA -- CB Kevin Dockery.

What worked last year: Earth, Wind and Fire, the defense.

What needs fixing: The passing game, replacing UFA running back Derrick Ward (Wind).

What's the game plan: With concerns about WR Plaxico Burress' availability and the parting with WR Amani Toomer, a wide receiver must be found. Veteran unrestricted free agents Marvin Harrison and T.J. Houshmandzadeh can be had, but a youthful, big receiver like UNC's Hakeem Nicks or Ohio State's Brian Robiskie might be a better option, The return of DE Osi Umenyioira could help offset the loss of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnoulo.

Philadelphia Eagles

Potential key free agents: RB Correll Buckhalter, SS Sean Considine, FS Brian Dawkins, OT Jon Runyan, TE L.J. Smith, OT William Thomas. RFA -- WR Hank Baskett, OG Nick Cole.

What worked last year: Maturity over adversity, QB Donovan McNabb, CB Asante Samuel.

What needs fixing: Upgrades at WR, depth at RB, help on the O-line.

What's the game plan: Re-signing longtime standout safety Brian Dawkins isn't a given. Offensive tackles Jon Runyan and William Thomas are unrestricted free agents, so the Eagles must replenish those positions. Getting G Shawn Andrews back to health would be a huge upgrade. Houshmandzadeh could be the perfect fit -- at the right price. A pro like Raiders UFA wide receiver Ronald Curry could have a role. A blocking tight end, which could be found in the draft, is needed to complement emerging starter Brent Celek.
