Apprently redskins fans liked Cofield but was too overpaid labeled him as a B,B- DT. A Good move for depth Kuhn stinks
Canty was apparently a solid player to and a Good locker room presence (obv)
I say bring them both back it would be a good move depth wise.Especially since they played for spags.
Osi im not sure about. Im afraid TC will give him more minutess than he deserves
Move from Kuhn and Patterson.

Other than that BC only and as Toth said.
If Cofield can come back cheap, I'd love him in the 4 man DT rotation. That's a big IF though.
I'm not a scout, obviously our front office will go to the tape and judge for themselves, but there's some reason to believe he may not be fully cooked just yet.
Cofield will be 31 this month. We are not giving him 15/20 million. Making him compete with Bromley for a starter spot would be excellent for our D rotation. He's a smart player, tough, durable and has experience that Hankins and Bromley could learn from.
He'd be an excellent addition and would likely be worth a decent sized contract. We can get younger but still sign a few vets. Let's not make generalizations because he's over 30.
I was saying that we aren't going to give him a big contract. 3 years, 8-10 million w/ 2-4 gauranteed.
Absolutely not on Canty. The guy was hurt a ton when he was here.
This rhetoric is really getting infuriating. It's not like Barry Cofield is 35. He's 31, has not had any major injury (high ankle sprain is notone), hasn't missed many games in his career, is a good teammate, does the little things and produces. We should cross off players because they are 30? That is short sighted and dumb.
Cofield would be a great addition to the team.
Isn't Bromley and Jenkins those 3-tech types?
Out with the old, in with the young is a great philosophy if you can find the young.
Depending on the draft, I might consider bringing Osi into training camp to push Moore while at the same time teaching Moore. Reese doesn't seem to appreciate the value of veterans. JPP is one I think is so immature that he did and might still benefit from having Osi as a mentor. Even more so Tuck. These two ring veterans are a little special.
Osi not likely to make the team, unless injuries hit, and then could retire as a Giant under good circumstances.
But it's not going to happen.

Blackburn
Manningham
Ross
Jacobs
That's off the top of my head. He's not afraid to bring people back it seems.

If you're looking for a role model for Moore, it shouldn't be Osi. He was bitchy and was strictly a pass rusher.
Cofield got to the QB plenty. I think people forget how well rounded Cofield was as a DT.
I would give the guy some money to come back
