And I think Lynch/Forsett is a package deal, its either both or neither, probably both so they arent handcuffed with finding a RB in the draft

Lynch will be gone due to bad back. Forsett is replaceable. Carlson is from prior regime and I haven’t seen anything that indicated the current one likes him enough to keep him around.

2) Heater
3) Lynch (if cheap)

Forsett and Carlson are on the way out.

Bryant takes precedent over Heater only because Bryant is harder to replace. Hawthorne is a good LB, but not anything you can’t find in the draft or FA….remember Hawth was undrafted, so while he is good, there’s always great young LB’s out there and we know how Pete loves youth (see: KJ). Big Red however is critical to our Dline and our run defense…. loosing him would have 10x more complications than loosing a LB.

I see Lynch sticking if we can get him at a low price. We can’t completely flip our RB corp around and leave Washington as the only experienced back. That is, unless we draft a starting quality RB in the draft. They wouldn’t gut the position entirely. Keep Lynch and Washington, then use Forsett’s spot for a young gun that will eventually push Lynch out of the way (and by that point Washington may be getting a little old as well…for a RB that is)

I guess I think they like Lynch and would re-up once more. The rest I could easily, easily see us walking away from, gathering replacements for.

But I honestly have no idea how this regime views him. Although he’s playing like a man who wants another big contract.

Heater, Red, and Carlson. But as others have said, who really knows with this team? There was that report of Seahawk scouts being at the PItt game to watch Ray Graham (HB).
