    The Redskins enter the 2007 offseason with 11 unrestricted free agents and three restricted free agents on the roster.The group of unrestricted free agents includes two starters in left guard Derrick Dockery and outside linebacker Warrick Holdman. Two other unrestricted free agents, cornerback Kenny Wright and safety Vernon Fox, also drew starting assignments last season.The group of restricted free agents includes punter Derrick Frost and backup offensive lineman Jim Molinaro, a former sixth-round draft pick. The Redskins have no exclusive rights free agents this offseason.Here's a look at all of the team's pending free agents: <div align="center">UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS</div>Unrestricted free agents are free to sign with any NFL team, including the Redskins. The free agency period begins in early March.Ethan Albright, LSAlbright completed his sixth season in Washington. Solid and steady, he has played in all 16 regular season games for 11 consecutive seasons. Long snappers are not always easy to come by, so resigning the 35-year-old Albright could be a key this offseason. Simply put, if you don't hear a long snapper's name on game day, that means he performed well.Derrick Dockery, GDockery has emerged as a dependable and durable starter on an offensive line that was dominant late in the 2006 season. The unit finished fourth in the NFL in rushing and yielded just 19 sacks, fifth-best in the league. Coaches may not want to break up the offensive line, so it would appear that re-signing Dockery would be a top off-season priority.T.J. Duckett, RBDuckett was acquired last August to help out in case Clinton Portis's injured shoulder was not at full health for the season. Duckett never really got on track in Washington, rushing for 132 yards and two touchdowns on just 38 carries. A day after the Redskins season finale, Duckett said that he was looking forward to testing free agency.Vernon Fox, SFox stepped in as a starter at strong safety the last six games of the season, logging 41 tackles and one interception. He starred on special teams, finishing with 23 special teams tackles--including a remarkable seven tackles and a blocked punt in the New Orleans game. He drew raves from Joe Gibbs for his special teams play, so the Redskins may want to keep Fox. Warrick Holdman, LBHoldman started 15 games at weak-side linebacker and one game at strong-side, totaling 98 tackles and one sack. Coaches may want to insert Rocky McIntosh into the starting lineup next season, and that means Holdman's situation could be tenuous. But Holdman has versatility--he can play all three linebacker positions--so the Redskins could look to retain his services.Ade Jimoh, CBDespite some rough patches early in his career, Jimoh has made it through four seasons as a Redskin. Due to injuries to Shawn Springs, he saw extensive action at nickel safety last season and logged eight tackles and three passes defended. He has made his mark on special teams, logging 19 tackles last season.Brian Kozlowski, TEThe Redskins brought back Kozlowski in November after Christian Fauria was sidelined due to injury. Kozlowski saw limited action last season; he played in two games and caught one pass.Mike Pucillo, OLPucillo was a backup center to Casey Rabach, and saw action briefly when Rabach was sidelined for one series in Week 14 against Philadelphia. He proved versatile, serving as a blocking tight end in short yardage and goal-line situations. He is a 4-year veteran who has started 18-of-35 games in his career.Todd Wade, OTWade signed with the Redskins in early September, fully rehabbed from a knee injury that sidelined him in 2005. He backed up Jon Jansen at right tackle all season, but did not see action until Week 15 when Jansen was sidelined with a calf injury. Wade acquitted himself well. He did not yield a sack and he helped the offense compile 161 rushing yards. A seven-year veteran, he may want to test free agent waters to see if a starting job is available. Kenny Wright, CBThe Redskins signed Wright, an eight-year veteran, last offseason to serve as a nickel corner, but he was pressed into starting duty nine times due to injuries to starters Shawn Springs and Carlos Rogers. He recorded 43 tackles, one interception and eight passes defended.Todd Yoder, TEWhen Christian Fauria was sidelined for the season with an ankle injury, Yoder emerged as a reliable backup to Chris Cooley. A seven-year veteran, he served mostly as a blocker. His one reception of the season was a 4-yard touchdown pass from Jason Campbell in Week 10 at Tampa Bay. <div align="center">RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS</div>Restricted free agents are players that other NFL teams can sign to an offer sheet, but the Redskins can designate terms and match any offer to retain the player. If the Redskins do not match, they would receive a draft pick as compensation.Ryan Boschetti, DTBoschetti is regarded as a high-energy player and coaches like his versatility to play both tackle and end. The third-year player has not been able to get on the field--he was inactive for 14-of-16 games last season--and rookies Kedric Golston and Anthony Montgomery appear to have bypassed him on the depth chart.Derrick Frost, PCoaches have spent the last two seasons developing Frost, so it would be surprising if they did not attempt to re-sign him. The third-year punter finished with 81 punts for a 42.9-yard average, a 36.7-yard net and seven kicks inside the 20. He showed strides in consistency late in the season.Jim Molinaro, OTMolinaro's season began with a knee injury in training camp, but he was back at full health by the start of the season. He served as a backup to Chris Samuels, but he saw action in just one game--as a blocking tight end. The third-year lineman has been a backup since the Redskins drafted him in the sixth round of the 2004 NFL Draft.

    He's so underrated. Like JHair said, you never see him screw up. This may sound weird, but I truly believe he is one of the best long snappers in the league (if not the best).lol, that letter was hilarious.

Look at those pictures they have at a beginning... you'll see if Albright screws up or not.

Let me ask you this: why cut him? He's a good guy and a good player.BTW, who were you talking about when you said "maybe even a starting job for him", Holdman or Dockery?

    lol... why would he be at Costco? Oh well. And yes, I mean maybe a starting job for Dock. He isn't a solid starter.
