Who do we work harder to keep

This is a quote from the Washington post concerning the re-signed of Smoot.

Coach Joe Gibbs has talked highly of Smoot and the importance of keeping core players such as Smoot on the Redskins. But Washington could face a salary-cap squeeze. Although it is close to re-signing linebacker Antonio Pierce, it also is working on ways to retain highly-paid offensive lineman Chris Samuels and will look to improve by signing free agents in the offseason.

I think that Pierce is a no brainer. He has proved that he belongs right where he is. Samuels on the other hand is a little different story. He has some good games mixed in with some games that are sub par. I go with keeping Smoot on this one. You know what you get with freddie on every play. He will sacrifice himself to make the play. Springs is locked up for a while and it would be a damn shame to split the two up after they have jelled so well, becoming one of the top DB tandems in the league. I like the idea of drafting a WR, but I would rather get the best O Lineman in the draft, let Samuels go for a FA or some high picks and try to develop Jacobs as a standout WR. I think he's got the talent just needs confidence.

Lets have a little fun with this one.

BOTH.

Let us reward our own players from now on, and stop overpaying for guys that play well for other teams.

If push comes to shove, we keep Pierce and let Smoot walk. The team had an inkling that keeping Smoot may be difficult, hence the signing of Walt Harris. In my opinion, Pierce has meant more to the defense than Smoot has. Hopefully, they can keep both.

The only butt we need to kiss right now is Patrick Ramsey's. The organization hasn't showed him enough love and he keeps proving them wrong. Pay him and PLAY him.
