So far, I have this list of players (below) The ones with asterisks (*) are confirmed by newspapers. The ones without are pure speculation but make for interesting debate!
Trotter* (obviously)
Jason Gildon*
Ty Law*
Kurt Warner*
Testaverde*
Joe Johnson*
Eddie George*
Rich Gannon*
Tim Couch*
Jon Kitna*
M. Muhammed*
Haynesworth
Sam Adams
Larry Allen
Chad Hutchinson
Robert Griffith
Joe Johnson would be a good idea for the Skins. He's injury prone, but if the money is right, he can really contribute when healthy. I say, let's get him to camp and see what Bubba can do with him!
If anyone can find an article somewhere with a list of expected cuts. Or even add some rumors, it's nice to hear who might be available!

June 1st Cut rumors
Build through the draft!
You're probably right about Kitna, but here's what Boomer Esiason said:
"I think the Bengals have a problem on their hands if they keep Kitna," Esiason told the Dayton Daily News. "If you're going to make your commitment to your $49 million player, you have to make him the clear-cut No. 1 guy, and you can't allow him to be affected by somebody else's insecurity within the locker room.
"Hopefully, the Bengals will cut with Jon, let him go play somewhere else, and then move on and cast their lot with Carson and just let him go, let him have his bad games and his good games, and then hopefully they'll be battle-tested, and he'll be the guy of the future."

John Kitna signed a contract extension about 3-4 weeks ago...he isn't going anywhere. What news paper confirmed Ty Law was getting released?
Of that list I would love to have Sam Adams or Hayneworth...but those 2 are "speculation"

Law and Gannon are staying put and you can put an * on that.
Law might be gone NEXT year according to the Globe but he will be there to defend their superbowl against the Skins :>)
Gannon does not have much left in the tank approaching the big 40 but they have no one ready in the wings and they can't afford the cap hit with the win now attitude from Al and his own version of the "over the hill gang"

Over! Nothing is over until we say its over. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor! Hell no! -- Future Sen. Blutarski.

Chad
He said the team is set except for maybe one or two guys. Also, yes Adams is 30. That is not old at all considering that Ted Washington is 36!

Raiders | Collins In? Gannon Out? - from www.KFFL.com
Fri, 7 May 2004 10:22:23 -0700
Vinny DiTrani, of the Bergen Record, reports free agent QB Kerry Collins (Giants) reportedly has an offer from the Oakland Raiders. Should Collins accept Oakland's offer, it could result in the release of Raiders QB Rich Gannon.

Gannon is older than Brunell and not as good in my opinion...
Plus I think he has major attitude problems - just getting that from some of his comments and stances I have read about over the past couple of years...

June
Yeah, if Collins signs in Oakland, Gannon is likely gone. Law has been griping to the media for a while now. If New England decides to cut there losses, June 1st is the time to do it so they eat the cap hit over two years rather than one. Of course Law may have trade value, even with his contract.
I like Joe Johnson only if he comes at a lower price. I think Sam Adams will command a larger salary. Joe Johnson is dominant when healthy, but he might take considerably less money because is has big health issues. Also, don't you think it is strange that Sam Adams, as good as he is, seems to find himself with new teams often? I question his work ethic and maturity.

Over the years, those that have stuck with the Skins have been trained to be scouts, watch the waiver wire and scout the other teams for talent. I think we're just so used to it - it's a tough habit to break. No insult intended for Gibbs - but Joe Johnson would be a great pick up, as would Adams. I think Jason Gildon is GREAT - and would give the Skins another guy to play the middle - which he could handle. He could also allow the Skins to go to a mixed 3-4. The Steelers gave up on him, but he's good when he's healthy. I think he's back near 100% now...
Still concerned about the D-line and H-back...Eddie George? hadn't heard that one

agree
Gildon would be good. Never heard any attitude problems with him either. Wish I could find some more news on expected June 1st cuts. I guess NFL teams try to keep a lid on it so apposing teams can't plan accordingly.
