Could Akers Stay In NFC East - Don Banks - SI.com
Akers is a free agent and he's not done kicking in the NFL. Given the challenges the Cowboys and Redskins have had with kickers in recent years, I wouldn't be surprised if Akers wound up somewhere else in the NFC East, facing his old team twice a year. Not exactly the Donovan McNabb to Washington storyline of 2010, but it might be fun.

Philadelphia used a fourth round selection on Nebraska kicker Alex Henery this past Saturday, sending a message that the longest tenured Eagle is on his way out the door. Thanks for the memories, David. We’ll miss you in Philly.

2011 NFL draft's most intriguing moves - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN
Although one year overdue by general manager Bruce Allen and coach Mike Shanahan, Washington's strategy of multiple trade-downs to acquire more picks was wise. The roster needed a major youth infusion that should be provided by 12 overall selections. That being said, Washington still has major issues at quarterback. Until that problem is addressed, there is a chance the Redskins will regret trading out of the No. 10 slot if Missouri's Blaine Gabbert becomes a star in Jacksonville.
