So I am guessing this is making room for Caldwell. Damn if I were Mason I would be beyond pissed at Lloyd right now for practically getting me cut.

JLC @ RI: "...The Skins needed to create an extra roster spot for another move, so they have released Marcus Mason - from what I imagine they really hope he clears waivers so they can put him back on the practice squad..."

He was cut, but they hope to get him back for the PS.

Lets hope he clears waivers so they can put him on the practice squad.

Another move? Interesting...

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Jansen to IR makes room for Caldwell. The Mason move is for a player yet to be identified.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Wonder what they are going after? another WR is pretty doubtful maybe a DT? Furgeson is out in dallas so they will prob. be going after tank.... maybe its that we are gonna go after him too? anyone got any other ideas?

[I]We do play the Pats this year so watch for Belichek to grab Mason[/I].

Is Mason handy with a camcorder?

Did I hear Ade signed with the Bears?

He did actually, good point.

JLC said that he has a deal w/ Chicago. I know he might not have signed it yet but thats what JLC said

edit:sorry guys a lil behind on this one

This will really be a test for Ade Jimoh Fan Club. Do they stick with the Redskins or go with the Bears? Does devotion to the Ade override all other allegiances?

Maybe he and Denim Monger can go catch Bears games together ;)

As for us, I wonder if we might be moving Westbrook or Eubanks up from the practice squad for secondary depth? Although where we really need it is at Safety, not CB

My first thought was that they might bring Omar Stoutmire back.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

I cannot understand the release of Mason after they ranted and raved about how good he looks, Gibbs even mentioned it to George Michaels on his show saturday night.... I hope he clears waivers.... I was pulling for the local grads I guess

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Yeah it seems he's the hometown hero in this situation. I really hope he clears waivers because I want to see him succeed. On a positive note, because he was on the roster before the first game his salary for the season was guaranteed.

It's nice to hear the Ade got signed too.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Zach Piller and OL who's played with the Titans and was a 53 man roster casulaty, is available. Weren't the skins contemplating on sign him in the off season?

THE ADE (and AJFC) are Redskins Fans at heart of course. THE ADE just wants to win a superbowl with the bears and then he'll be back next year to help the Skins as a SB Champion Veteran.

WTF were the Skins thinking anyway letting him go? After watching the Miami game - can anyone seriously defend that Smoot or Rogers are better CB's than THE ADE? Seriously? I know THE ADE has lapses in coverage occasionally, but the rest of his game is solid. Smoot & Rogers are no upgrade for the $$ we're paying them.

good call

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Like Mason is ever going to see the field anyway??? It's a nice story but guys get clipped on the practice squad all the time.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

70 chip, bend over. since you cant reach your own back, ill pat it for you. and i cant believe fox beat out Stoutmire anyway. unless it has to do with Fox's ability on special teams

If I recall correctly, Mason was shown on the starting 53-man roster on [url=http://www.Redskins.com]Washington Redskins[/url] previously, and even as late as yesterday. Was he actually on the practice squad after the final cuts were made?

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Has anyone picked him up?

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

how fast can he slip through waiver wire

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

[quote=Joe Ribbs BBQ;351120]how fast can he slip through waiver wire[/quote]


I think it's 24 hours so he should clear the process...presently.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

I had assumed the same time..... so maybe a practice squad player by the end of business today??

[quote=Joe Ribbs BBQ;351129]I had assumed the same time..... so maybe a practice squad player by the end of business today??[/quote]


I would think so. They should get it on Redskins.Com. or else J-La will have it on his Insiders blog. It may be like a midnight to midnight deal though. We will see.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

This is just a general comment and not directed at anyone.

It's funny, it seems that no matter who gets cut there's always someone that freaks out and all of a sudden it's all about how this front office has no clue, the last 50 years have been a mess, the franchise is a laughing stock, etc.

I wish we could keep track of the number of moves that pan out in the Redskins favor. I think we'd be surprised at how many good moves, and how many good non-moves (not signing Courtney Brown for example) the team actually makes.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

very good point.....

we are all monday morning QBs and I hope we all understand our weakness to lean towards second guessing EVERYTHING

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Stoutmire it is.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Good, I always thought Omar was a little better than people gave him credit for.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

what's up with lemar marshall and walt harris forcing turnovers for marvin lewis, but not greg williams? Maybe we need to practice forcing turnovers more often........i know this has been brought up before, but it's becoming rediculous.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

Jeeze Louise, Marcus Mason is back on the practice squad. He's still considered a free-agent however and could be signed elsewhere.

Good call, he's back.

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

I think he will be back on the full roster after next week as well, Gibbs loved this guy in some of his conversations on his tv show and radio as well..... kept mentioning things like.........makes the most out of every carry

encouraging to me, though I doubt he will get many snaps for a while

Re: RI: Marcus Mason released
 

omar is a good move. another guy that shouldn't have left.

the team has had a quiet but very good offseason this year. they've made upgrades, they've gotten younger, and they've fixed some issues... we still don't have a DE that'd scare anyone, and that's a real shame, but maybe that'll finally change this coming offseason.

I hope you're right because even on the PS he's still a FA, and other teams will have an interest in him. The PS will not be a safe haven for him, if they like him like they say they do, he needs to be back on the 53.
