  Redskins | Unrestricted free agents     Wed Jul 27, 12:28 AM

The Washington Redskins have the following unrestricted free agents to consider re-signing for the 2011 season: LB H.B. Blades, OT Jammal Brown, CB Phillip Buchanon, S Reed Doughty, WR Mike Furrey, DE Kedric Golston, QB Rex Grossman, OT Stephon Heyer, LB Rocky McIntosh, CB Carlos Rogers and LB Chris Wilson.

Footballguys view: With McNabb perhaps moving on via trade to the Vikings the team will need to add at least one more QB to the roster. Re-signing Grossman makes the most sense as he knows the team, and knows the system.

  Redskins | Buchanon sees opportunity with team    Sun Apr 4, 06:10 PM

Eric Edholm, from ProFootballWeekly.com, reports it made sense for the Redskins to move on free-agent CB Phillip Buchanon, given GM Bruce Allen's familiarity with Buchanon from their days together in Oakland. But it also made sense because the 29-year-old corner came fairly cheap at $1.5 million and could end up playing a significant role. As for how he'll be used, Buchanon, who has played for five teams in his career and has joined his third team in three years, he is ready for a lot of action. "I still want to be a starter," Buchanon told PFW by phone this week. "It's not like I want to settle for being a nickel; that's not my point of view. By (no) means am I down and out. I still feel good. I still feel like I can play at a high level, a Pro Bowl level. That's how I feel."
