The Washington Redskins are not being as quiet as everyone first expected when they were on the sidelines for the rush the Chicago Bears made after Julius Peppers.
Turns out they’re very much in play for the first frame of free agency, and Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports reports that left tackle Chad Clifton, a 10-year veteran of the Green Bay Packers, will visit the Redskins today, a day after Chris Samuels retired.
The Packers, according to Cole, are offering Clifton a deal that averages about $5 million annually. Clifton is seeking closer to $7 million per season. The Redskins badly need a left tackle, but so do the Packers, who could now have to face Jared Allen and Julius Peppers for four games.

Why go for a young stud in the draft who we can plug in for a decade when we can overspend for an over the hill glass one! Classic Snyder. The Skins are back to old form.
no, no, no, no.........come on TT, if there is anyone to lose Clifton isn't it!
Clifton has been the most over-paid and over-rated left tackle in the game the last few years. When he's not sitting out with a variety of injuries, he's keeping the refs busy with holding and illegal procedure penalties. Showed his true colors by sitting out both games against the Vikings and Jared Allen. What would Vince say?
If Skins lock him up its a nice move. This doesnt mean we don't draft a lineman, it just means we aren't FORCED to reach for one at 4 (if we really like okung we may take him anyway and play him or clifton on the right side. I think if we sign him he plays for 2 more years and in that time we will draft 2 OTs
All the shouts for the Packers to keep Clifton are based just on having the Left Tackle spot filled - not because Clifton is a great player.
Reports are that Clifton wants three years guaranteed. If the Skins are dumb enough to pay Chad Clifton $20 million - Go get the money Chad, theres a sucker born every minute
Jermichael Finley arrived last year and is now the best Tightend in the North and one of the best in Football. Big, catches well and runs like a receiver. If Jennings doesn't stop dropping catchable balls, Finley will replace him as Rodgers receiver of choice
