Keep or Cut DeAngelo Hall? - There has been a lot of talk about DeAngelo Hall these past few years. There are big question marks around him whether its about his play or his character. Lets evaluate his play first. I will defend any one of my Redskins players no matter what. DeAngelo Hall is definitely not a bad player. His contract just does not match up with his level of play. He is due 7.5 Million dollars and I can almost guarantee that he will not be getting that much from us next season. Hall had an okay season in 2012. He started to tighten up during our 7-game winning streak. He had 4 interceptions, 68 tackles, and even got the first sack of his career I believe. It would be good for the Redskins to keep Hall for a reduced price. Hall even stated that he is willing to re-work his schedule to be able to stay on the team. Maybe they will re-work his deal somewhere around 3 Million. That would save us about 4.5 Million dollars and that would be a pretty big sum of money considering the cap hit we are taking this offseason. Sure, D-Hall has some character issues but we are just going to have to live with it because one day I think Hall will show us we made the right decision by keeping him. He can create turnovers and is a physical corner so I don't see the problem in keeping him and re-working his deal. On the other hand we could just cut him and save 7.5 Million dollars. Would it be worth it? I think it would only be worth it if we put that money towards another secondary player.
Should We Pursue Rob Jackson? - Rob Jackson took Brian Orakpo's place after he tore a pectoral muscle in week 2. He would be the starter for the rest of the season and boy, did he fill in nicely. He even did some things that I don't think Brian Orakpo could have done. He only had 26 solo tackles but he had 4.5 sacks, 6 passes deflected, 4 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 touchdown. I don't know about anyone else but he is the kind of guy that I would want to have on my team. He is a Free Agent now and the Redskins have to decide if they want to re-sign him or not. He will definitely want more money than he is getting now. I think Jackson wants to start and he will definitely not be starting at Right Outside Linebacker if he comes back, that is Orakpo's job. What if we tried to convert him to a Middle Linebacker though? He could lose some weight and then after Fletcher leaves we could have a legitimate Middle Linebacker ready to take his place. I guess it is a possibility. I just don't want to see a talent like Rob Jackson walk away like that.
Should We Re-sign Fred Davis? - I would love to see the Redskins re-sign Davis and his suspension in 2011 and injury in 2012 should lower his price. He is a great Tight End and I think he can bounce back from all his problems in previous years. We should just go ahead and sign him to a long term deal. Sure, Logan Paulsen performed nicely in Davis' absence but he doesn't play at the same level of Davis. I do, however, think that the Redskins should also re-sign Paulsen. Having two Tight Ends who can catch, run, and block pretty well is great. You cant let talent like Fred Davis just walk away. If we let Davis go we cant just draft another great Tight End. Before Davis went down earlier this season he had 24 receptions for 325 yards and he was RG3's favorite guy to throw to. I don't see the Redskins letting him walk.
