Terrance Knighton could be the best FA we have had in years. This is a great story.

Local guy here did an interview with Pot Roast and he is very funny and down to earth dude. The biggest take away was a remark by him talking about locker room and he had heard that in the recent past (last year) they were alot of "me" guys walking around....he said him and Chris Baker have let folks know that wont fly anymore and they will be called out to the floor.

Interesting for sure...and I wonder directly who is talking about

Would be interested to know who, but at the same time I'd like to say it's all water under the bridge and hopefully they can move on.

If we are successful this year it will be due to a team atmosphere and guys having each other's back.

Hopefully we can lock up pot roast after this season as well as AM and TW. Trent would def be our franchise tag guy if we had to go that route

Phillip Thomas and injuried CB Tevin Mitchell both cut

Dreqan Hoskey CB signed. I believe another CB was signed...dont know who

He never got a chance! #backupplayersmatter

Curious to see why they let him go. Either he had to look really bad, or it's something injury related that would affect his long term status.

hahahahahahaha....i was waiting for the obligatory "wasted draft pick" post...but this is better.

Re: All things Redskins training camp
 

Even with his injury in year one, Thomas had ample opportunity to step up.

In light of (1) the rookie Jarret's versatility (in addition to safety, he is practicing in the slot corner as well), (2) the return of Ihenacho, (3) the acquisition of Johnson and Goldson,(4) the fact that T. Robinson by-passed him in special teams, and (5) the current coaching staff and GM did not draft him, he was a long shot (at best) to make the roster.

This was a mercy cut.

Re: All things Redskins training camp
 

2013 Draft Picks:

2nd: D. Amerson - Still with us and likely to make the roster, but only as the 4th corner. May be his last year.

3rd: J. Reed - Could be great except that he is as frail as his name.

4th: P. Thomas - Nope. Just nope.

5th: Chris Thompson - Maybe he makes the team. Maybe he's out of football.

5th: Brandon Jenkins - They told us he was a steal. Turns out he wasn't. Out of football.

6th: Baccari Rambo - Best thing about him was his name. His cleats are still in the turf where Chris Johnson juked him out of them.

7th: Jawan Jamison - Who? Out of football.

So, from the draft two years ago, we have a back-up corner & RB (both of whom may have topped out), and a really good but oft-injured TE. Yay!

Re: All things Redskins training camp
 

I thought Rambo was headed for the Hall after he lucked into a 2 INT game last year.

Wow -- this is a painful read.

I suspect it will look much different since SM's arrival..........

Any reports on the details of the Mitchell cut?

EDIT: Nm. It was an injury waiver.

Don't forget Keenan Robinson. More important than Morris IMO.

[quote]If Mitchel, a sixth-round pick, goes unclaimed off waivers, he reverts to the Redskins' injured reserve list. He can be brought back after passing through waivers. Considering he's out for the season with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, it's hard to imagine another team claiming him.[/quote]

I did not know this before.

Re: All things Redskins training camp
 

Surprised they didnt look at drafting a mlb this year. There must be some faith in Compton. Riley's deal is up after this year as well correct or does he have one more? Keenan will be a priority as well but let's make sure he can make it one more year with out ir.

Playing around with Moses at RT and Scherff at guard. If Moses can hold it down, I'd make that move.
