 Redskins Defense - TMFeb. 9 - 2:28 pm et
Coach Mike Shanahan is interviewing Bill Romanowski for the Redskins strength and conditioning coach job.
Hopefully, Shanny is just rewarding a former player with a courtesy interview. It's hard to believe he would actually hire the controversial [former?] user of steroids and HGH, in addition to a wide variety of other supplements.

 LaRon Landry - DBFeb. 9 - 10:56 am et
Beat writer Jason Reid says that S LaRon Landry "appeared to regress" last season.
We're not so sure Landry regressed, it's just that he has a lot to live up to as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2007 draft. He was still the leader of a secondary that ranked ninth against the pass while racking up 90 tackles. His IDP upside is limited severely because he doesn't pick off passes or blitz very often.

 Jason Campbell - QBFeb. 9 - 10:51 am et
New Redskins coach Mike Shanahan is "eager to draft and develop a young quarterback," a league source tells Jason Reid of the Washington Post.
This doesn't mean that Jason Campbell won't be back in 2010, but it does mean that Shanahan doesn't view the restricted free agent as the long-term answer. Most mocks have the Redskins taking Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen with the No. 4 overall pick.

 Clinton Portis - RBFeb. 7 - 9:04 am et
During an interview on the NFL Network, Clinton Portis admitted that he asked for fullback Mike Sellers to be benched during a game early in the season.
Portis continues to throw teammates under the bus. First he called out Jason Campbell and now he's airing dirty laundry with his fullback. Even though Portis is guaranteed $6.43M in 2010, the Skins are better off ridding themselves of his attitude and old legs.

 Clinton Portis - RBFeb. 5 - 10:33 am et
ESPN NFC East blogger Matt Mosley believes the Redskins will look to draft a running back in April "no matter what" they plan to do with Clinton Portis.
The 'Skins desperately need young legs in the backfield even if they keep Portis. With quarterback and offensive line a priority, the team won't use the No. 4 overall pick on a back. They'll likely take a hard look in the second and third rounds though.

 Clinton Portis - RBFeb. 4 - 3:46 pm et
Redskins GM Bruce Allen said Thursday that the team is "looking forward to seeing Clinton [Portis] help us win."
Allen noted that Portis has already met with coach Mike Shanahan. Presumably, the meeting went well with Allen implying that Portis will remain with the team. Portis is receiving $6.43M guaranteed this season, so the 'Skins might as well see if he can still play. Of course, he'll have to gain clearance from concussions specialists first.

 Clinton Portis - RBFeb. 2 - 12:42 pm et
Clinton Portis (concussion) has still not been medically cleared for football activities.
Portis said he expects to be fully healthy and back with the Redskins, but neither is a sure thing at this point. It's now been three months since he sustained the concussion. A potential cap casualty this offseason, $6.43M of Portis' 2010 base salary is guaranteed.

 Albert Haynesworth - DLJan. 29 - 12:34 pm et
Lions coach Jim Schwartz, Albert Haynesworth's long-time coordinator with the Titans, believes the potential nose tackle will have no problem switching to a 3-4 defense under Jim Haslett.
"You can play him at end, or you can play him nose. He can do whatever he wants," said Schwartz. "He's that talented of a player." Schwartz admitted that Haynesworth may have an adjustment period, but he insists the $100 million man is talented enough to adapt to whatever version of the 3-4 Haslett wants to run.

 Antonio Bryant - WRJan. 29 - 10:30 am et
The Bucs and Antonio Bryant "aren't really engaging in talks of any kind," according to beat writer Stephen Holder.
The Bucs seem intent on letting Bryant hit free agency to set his own market before they decide whether to make a play for him. They won't be franchising him for a second straight season at roughly $10 million, and Bryant hasn't been stable enough to merit a big-money long-term deal. Expect Redskins GM Bruce Allen to show interest once Bryant hits the open market.

 Redskins Offense - TMJan. 28 - 10:25 am et
Redskins hired Keenan McCardell as wide receivers coach.
Interestingly, McCardell beat out former Bucs WRs coach Richard Mann, who left Tampa to try to catch on with the Redskins. With McCardell out of the picture, Ike Hilliard is the favorite for the same position with the Bucs.

 London Fletcher - LBJan. 24 - 11:49 pm et
Redskins MLB London Fletcher has made his first Pro Bowl because Jonathan Vilma won't be available while preparing for the Super Bowl.
He finally gets his career first Pro Bowl. Fletcher, who hasn't missed a start in 12 seasons, finished second in the league in tackles (142) in his first year behind Albert Haynesworth. He also chipped in two sacks, seven pass breakups, and a forced fumble. The trip down south is long overdue.

 Jason Campbell - QBJan. 24 - 1:35 pm et
The Washington Post reiterates that the Redskins are expected to bring back restricted free agent Jason Campbell in 2010.
Though new coach Mike Shanahan doesn't believe Campbell is a long-term solution and plans to draft a quarterback high in April, Campbell will remain the team's best option at least to open the year. To retain him, the Skins will only need a low tender because Campbell was a first-round pick in 2005.

 Seahawks Offense - TMJan. 22 - 11:50 am et
Seahawks hired Sherman Smith, formerly of the Redskins, as running backs coach.
Smith is an original Seahawk, leading the team in rushing for the first four years of the franchise. Though he was the offensive coordinator under former teammate Jim Zorn the past two seasons in D.C., he was not involved in the play-calling. The Seahawks backfield figures to have several new faces by the time OTAs roll around in May.

 Kevin Barnes - DBJan. 20 - 1:44 pm et
Departing secondary coach Jerry Gray says he believes Redskins CB Kevin Barnes "is going to be a real good player."
Gray must've seen something from Barnes in practice, because he played in just four games as a rookie and finished with two tackles. Barnes, though, was coming off an injury-plagued year at Maryland and has ideal size and speed for a corner. He could push for Carlos Rogers' starting job in 2010.

 Chad Rinehart - GJan. 19 - 3:50 pm et
Redskins OG Chad Rinehart was arrested early Monday morning for misdemeanor public intoxication.
Rinehart was simply walking into a pizza joint at 2 a.m. when a police officer smelled alcohol on his breath and noticed his bloodshot eyes. After he declined a breath test, Rinehart was arrested. The incident certainly doesn't seem serious enough to earn a suspension.

 Seahawks Defense - TMJan. 18 - 1:37 pm et
Seahawks hired Jerry Gray as defensive backs coach.
Gray had a better gig as assistant head coach of the Redskins, but was willing to take a demotion to get out of D.C. Pete Carroll continues to fill out an impressive staff, with DL coach Dan Quinn staying, Jeremy Bates running the offense, Alex Gibbs coaching OLs, and Gus Bradley at defensive coordinator.

 Albert Haynesworth - DLJan. 18 - 12:48 pm et
With the Redskins likely switching to a 3-4 defense under new defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, Albert Haynesworth will be asked to play a new position.
ESPN's Len Pasquarelli suggests that Haynesworth will balk at this notion, but the $100 million man may not have a choice. Although he's not a natural nose tackle, the Redskins don't have anyone on their roster that fits that bill right now. London Fletcher, who has excelled in the 4-3 for the last 12 seasons, probably won't be thrilled with learning a new position either.

 Seahawks Defense - TMJan. 15 - 6:22 pm et
The Seahawks have reportedly offered Redskins DBs coach Jerry Gray a spot on their staff in the same position.
It was previously reported that Gray interviewed for Seattle's coordinator job, but Gus Bradley may keep that role. The move would be of the "lateral" nature for Gray, and a downgrade if you consider his assistant head coach/defensive backs title in Washington. We're guessing Gray won't bite.

 London Fletcher - LBJan. 15 - 6:10 pm et
New defensive coordinator Jim Haslett believes MLB London Fletcher would make a smooth transition if the Redskins switch to a 3-4.
Fletcher did get some experience in Buffalo's 3-4 during the mid-2000s. Haslett indicated that much of the personnel is already in place on the Skins' roster if they do switch alignments. In the 3-4, usual WLB Rocky McIntosh would likely be the "Jack" linebacker, with Fletcher staying at the "Mike."

 Redskins Defense - TMJan. 15 - 4:45 pm et
Redskins named Jim Haslett defensive coordinator.
We've known about the hire for three days, but the move didn't become official until Friday. Haslett is expected to incorporate 3-4 alignments into a Skins defense that has been a 4-3 for as long as we can remember. Brian Orakpo and Andre Carter figure to be the outside linebackers. Albert Haynesworth could play five-technique end or nose tackle. We'll know the Redskins are serious about the 3-4 if they invest in players that fit the scheme this spring.
