CSNWashington reported it was because of potential locker-room friction with Grossman. One league source said it was as much salary related (Orton would have been owed $3 million for one month’s work). By signing Orton, clearly a cheaper alternative than Peyton Manning, it would enable the Redskins to focus elsewhere in the draft – and still have a good chunk of change to spend in free agency. They likely would still draft a quarterback, if they view Orton as a one or two year guy, then maybe it could work – especially if they upgraded the receiving corps to pair with a less error-prone QB.

Beatty had detached retina surgery in late November. Beatty was a second-round pick in 2009, and has played in 34 games, starting 16 times in his career. He made just $480,000 in 2011, and will be in the final year of his rookie contract next season. He’ll count $800,000 against the Giants cap.

But his first order of business has to be recovering from a torn ACL that ended his 2011 campaign after six games. The Redskins have younger options now too after Roy Helu and Evan Royster stepped up in his absence. Hightower is a native of Alexandria, Va., so staying at home and playing for the Redskins is his first choice. “I called it home growing up here, and to be able to call it home for my job, that would be great,” Hightower told the team’s Web site. “I love this organization. Coming back here made me realize how much it would mean for me to be here. Getting a chance to play here and be around family, and just go places and be around fans and this city, it was special for me. This is somewhere I would like to play a long time.” Hightower might not be healthy enough to hit the practice field until mid-June and that is if everything goes according to plan. He could be added for depth but Helu and Royster had moments late in the season for a team that will focus its offseason on adding a quarterback.

He’s a captain. We want our captain back.” Fletcher, 36, continued to produce at a high level despite his age and wound up making his third straight Pro Bowl this season. In fact, Fletcher has never missed a game in his NFL which is absolutely astounding when you consider that he’s played in the middle of a defense for fourteen seasons.

Then he will begin preparations for defending the title. The 65-year-old coach sees no reason to retire now. “I mean, it’s what I do,” Coughlin said Monday morning, hours after New York beat the New England Patriots 21-17 in the Super Bowl. “So the alternative I’ve never really given it a whole lot of consideration. (Just coach) as long as I can.” Coughlin could be around for a while following his second title as a head coach. He signed a contract extension in July that runs through next season, but it looks as the Giants could revisit that deal following the franchise’s fourth Super Bowl win.
