The Washington Redskins hope to sign Brian Orakpo to a new deal before he hits the open market.

"I think 'Rak' can get much better. I know Ryan (Kerrigan) can get a lot better," Jim Haslett said. "We're going to try to turn them loose more this year, do a little bit more with them games-wise. Don't worry so much if they lose contain, because they're going to lose frickin' contain half the time. Let's go roll and make sure the tackles cover for them."

Orakpo is ranked third in free agency by NFL.com.
