Landry opted against major surgery because it's not only "brutal," but also comes with concerns over recovery time and losing range-of-motion or strength. "You might not get the same thing you had before," explained Landry, who was noncommittal on a recovery timetable. Despite the disagreements on treatment, Landry still hopes to re-sign with the Redskins.

LaCanfora, a former Redskins beat reporter, cites "numerous people in the organization." The franchise tag for tight ends is projected to be roughly $5.5 million, and the Redskins "for a change" have plenty of salary cap room. Still just 26 years old, Davis was the Skins' only consistent offensive playmaker in 2011. The tag makes more sense than a long-term deal now that Davis is in danger of a year-long suspension with his next positive drug test.

"We want to. We want to, and he wants to come back," Allen said. "We're just waiting for the season to finish, and then we're gonna take care of business. He's a captain. We want our captain back." Fletcher turns 37 in May, but has started 224 straight games and his performance has not been an issue. The sides should be able to work out a short-term deal before free agency begins.

Once considered a top prospect by draftniks, Woodson plummeted to the 198th pick in 2008 after the Senior Bowl exposed him as a deliberate passer with a big windup and slow release. Woodson spent 2011 working with quarterbacks as a student assistant at his alma mater, Kentucky. His playing days are over.

The Washington Times had a report on this a few weeks ago. Landry doesn't want to have surgery, and he appears to be taking a sizable risk that rest and rehab will fix the heel problems. It's clearly against doctors' orders. The Redskins seem likely to part ways with Landry this offseason, particularly if he's not amenable to accepting a low-risk, short-term contract.

Moss returned from hand surgery in Week 12 of the 2011 regular season and failed to clear 50 yards in all but one of the final six games. OC Kyle Shanahan confirmed that the Skins will eyeball playmaking wideouts this offseason. "We do need to make more plays," Mike's son said. "The one thing that hurt us the most was every touchdown pass we made was caught in the end zone. There wasn't one that was caught outside the end zone and ran in until Week 16 when (RB Roy) Helu caught that screen versus Philly."

Fletcher's 224 consecutive games played streak is tied with Ronde Barber for the most among active players. "He is playing at a very high level," coach Mike Shanahan said. "What I mean is you want him on your football team." Shanahan had previously stated that re-signing Fletcher will be a "priority" this offseason.
