Redskins Release Espy and Harris
 

They have released both of them. Kind of suprised me, I am not sure why before camp. They also added Mathias Askew.

Re: Redskins Relaese Espy and Harris
 

noooooo please tell me that is a misprint Espy damn we didn't give him a chance. I guess they want taller & bigger WR's now.

Re: Redskins Relaese Espy and Harris
 

hmmmm.... sounds like we are making room for something. Something strange is afoot.

Re: Redskins Relaese Espy and Harris
 

Espy was a good story, it's just a shame he blew his knee out. He will have to work hard to make a team, but even w/extremely hard work he might not be back to what he was & he was never a burner to begin with.

I don't know that this signals any more than the usual roster shuffling done at this time of year. We already know that wr is a position the Skins want to upgrade. Whether by draft or fa, there will be some competition in camp. They let him go early so he can try elsewhere. Who knows if he's even able to run in ota's?

You are right they have something planned.

AMD is thrilled about the Askew signing

Re: Redskins Relaese Espy and Harris
 

NO!! Why release Espy? I love that guy, I hope they don't regret not giving him a chance after his injury. This really sucks!!

Re: Redskins Relaese Espy and Harris
 

Meh, they had a good run.

This doesn't really signify anything, I think. Just some typical roster moves where you are trying to get guys in here to sign the next big thing...that much should be interesting.

I agree, I thought they loved Espy. Maybe, he was not working hard to rehab.

Re: Redskins Release Espy and Harris
 

I liked Espy.

I think a team with a gaping hole at WR wouldn't mind signing him.

Re: Redskins Release Espy and Harris
 

Come on Espy? Like he was going to make an impact with us anyway!!! We need big, tall, and quick WRs that can actually produce. Always amazes me how many guys get pissed about some eternal special teams/bench scrub with maybe a little potential gets canned when we need guys that can start for sure. We needed to clean house at WR and that is exactly what the Skins are doing. With the exception of Santana, Michael Westbrook and Albert Connell look like all HOFers compared to the bums we have had the past few years. Patten, Llyod, Randle El til last year, and that bum we drafted out of Miami(what's his name?) all sucked rocks. Espy and Harris were emergency scrubs at best.

He never really had a chance to make an impact. Espy's young, I think if he can continue to rehab that knee, he'll have a decent career somewhere else.

I agree he has great potential to be someones #3

Re: Redskins Release Espy and Harris
 

The fourth quarter of the preseason games won't be the same again without Espy.

Ok, sorry......Im 6-7 Guiness pints and 4-5 shots of Yager drunk, and thats all I have to say about that...umm, what? nevermind, anyway time for 3 advil and another pint....of water. May the luck of the Irish be with you all, well most of you.

Re: Redskins Release Espy and Harris
 

Dont worry...Mix is the new Espy.
Folks seem to love a potential Cinderella story.

Of course they do.

Hey, if Mix can make it, so can I. :cheeky-sm

Re: Redskins Release Espy and Harris
 

i have to agree with what some have been saying (in this thread and others).... SOMETHING is afoot. i can feel it! danny's getting better at avoiding the temptation to be the offseason champ but can he REALLY quit cold turkey???

we know the team is after an impact receiver. there are none in the draft considered to be "can't miss". there are none (none left, anyway) in free angency. a rookie would likely not be much help to us this year......

I doubt it. Anquan wants to stay in Arizona. They got Fitzgerald's deal done so that they could redo Anquan's (ensuring that he is still the highest paid WR on the roster).

Espy was overrated here with the fans. He did nothing to deserve his following.
Remember Clifford Russell? Everyone was high on him and he never did a thing in the NFL. Espy will likely follow the same path.

except Espy did come through in the preseason, something that was joked about earlier. I don't even think Russell ever got healthy in camp long enough to play in the preseason.

Can't remember, but I guess that's your point, no one will remember these guys in a few years.
