Redskins sign 5 tryouts:

[QUOTE]Players who try out at rookie minicamps without a contract are the longest of long shots to make it in the NFL. Five players who tried out at the Redskins' minicamp this weekend have a chance to have a chance. The Redskins announced that they have signed the following tryout players.

WR Brian Herndandez, Utah
DL Delvin Johnson, Marshall
WR Samuel Kirkland, Kent State
OL Nick Martinez, Oklahoma State
TE Beau Reliford, Florida State
To make room for the new signees, the Redskins released Hawaii NT Vaughn Meatoga and Southern Miss WR Kelvin Bolden.
[/QUOTE]

Re: UDFA Thread
 

Big question.... how long will the tryouts be with the team practicing? is it this weekend only or will they be able to be with the team through to camp? I know they bumped the number up to what 90 players they can have in camp but when do they have to be at that number? start of camp?

Re: UDFA Thread
 

They can be at 90 now. Cut down to 75 after the third preseason game, cut down to the final roster after the final preseason game

Re: UDFA Thread
 

[quote=SmootSmack;915447]They can be at 90 now. Cut down to 75 after the third preseason game, cut down to the final roster after the final preseason game[/quote]

Let me refrase my question... At what point will the invites not signed not be allowed to be here? after this weekend? Here's my point I like the Keith Nichol (WR) kid. At what point can I figure he's not going to be with the team? Will he still have a chance to impress the team or is that time over after this weekend?

I guess this somewhat answers it

[QUOTE]From here, coaches will review the practice film and make their decisions, letting players know where they stand. Shanahan has shown a willingness to retain tryout players in the past, saying that players will know within the next 24 hours if they will be invited back.

"We try to maybe get three, four or five players that we think have a chance to make our football team," Shanahan said. "Obviously, we are a much deeper football team now than we were two years ago."

Those that remain will return for veteran OTAs and mini-camp later this summer, while others will be given the opportunity to tryout again.

I wonder when the next time the tryouts will get a chance again to impress.

Oooo I recognize one of those names there. Brian Hernandez.

Whos Brian Hernandez Cult?

Well He's the small spanish dude who was catching balls at RG3's pro day wearing the skull cap. RG3 specifically chose him to catch balls at his pro day, along with Kendall Wright and Terrence Williams/Ganaway.


Good I have my guy to root for now to make it as a roster long shot.

Yeah this has been pretty hard to follow. It sounds like 62 rookies came to the mini camp which i guess includes all our draft picks, priority FA's, and then a whole bunch of other guys. Of the whole bunch of other guys the 5 that got offers were the ones ColtBrennan59 posted.

Im really looking foward for camp to start and the offical 90 to be announced so we can start trying to figure out who these guys are, but in the mean time it sounds like Brian Hernandez is the long shot im rooting for.

Re: UDFA Thread
 

Has there ever been a QB that has moved around through like 3-4 teams and finally panned out?

Beck gets drafted by Miami, then ends up in Baltimore, then comes to Washington, now on to Houston. One would think that somewhere in all this if he was going to pan out he would have already.

I started all this to jump to Vince Young. Drafted by the Titans, Eagles pick him up, and now on to the Bills. What part of "bust" just is not ringing a bell? Especially with the Eagles part.... I've heard Andy Reid is good at developing QB's. So if he didn't make it there..... why should anyone even give him a shot?

Vince Young's reputation was built on what he did in the National Championship Game in 2005 against USC. A lot of people knew then that he was a run first quarterback and he wouldn't be able to read NFL defenses. But Young did hold the starting QB job in Tennessee for a number of seasons before moving on to Philly. With 46 career TD passes and 51 INTs, I would agree and say that Vince Young is definitely a bust.

Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, Aaron Rogers, and Ben Rothesburger are all still with the teams that drafted them. Vince Young is on his third team, and all of the above mentioned NFL quarterbacks were in the league before Young. That too would tell anyone who knows football that Vince Young is a bust.

Re: UDFA Thread
 

Chase Minnifield could turn out to be the UDFA steal of all this season. We all know that he could have been a late first round or second round draft choice had he not been injured. But he ended up going undrafted. He could turn out to be what Danny Copeland once was to us.

until he does it in games though, it doesn't mean much.

He will get the chance when that time comes. But in the meantime, Minnifield is making a case for himself to be on the Redskins roster. He could probably play the nickle back position now on 3rd downs.

Detroit is definietly a good spot for him. I think everyone is still nervous about Stafford staying healthy over the next couple years. Shaun Hill is decent but give Moore a year or 2 and he could be in there as the number 2 guy.
