NFC East: 4 good teams, only 3 playoff spots

The NFC East is hyper competitive, as always, and the 4 members of the NFL's Fight Club all have a good combo of new (free agent) vets and emerging (in house, drafted) players.
NY Giants: The new vets: Safety Sammy Knight and LB Danny Clark. The emerging home grown talent: RB Brandon Jacobs, TE Kevin Boss, CB Aaron Ross, G Chris Snee, WR Steve Smith and De Justin Tuck
Dallas Cowboys: The new vets: LB Zach Thomas, CB Adam Jones. The home grown talent: RB/KR Felix Jones, CB Mike Jenkins, LB Anthony Spencer, DT Jay Ratliff, TE Martellus Bennett, WR Miles Austin, DE Chris Canty
Philly Eagles: The new vets: CB Asante Samuel, DE Chris Clemons. The homies: WR DeSean Jackson, LB Chris Gocong, Safety Quintin Mikell, P Sav Rocca, DT Trevor Laws
Washington Redskins: The new vets: DE Jason Taylor, LB London Fletcher. Home grown: LB Rocky McIntosh, FS LaRon Landry, QB Jason Campbell, TE Fred Davis

This is what you have to have. Contributions from many, on both sides of the ball, from free agents, rookies and young vets. This is how you win.

Maybe, we can see if the NFL will allow one of the NFC East teams take the NFC West playoff spot ... it's only fair, right?
