Camps, OTAs, Etc. Etc

One of the most interesting nuggets from this story is that last year's 7th round pick, Austin Reiter, a C has added 12 to 15 lbs of muscle coming into camp.

He has a much bigger frame than Lict to begin with and would be around 310ish now.

Lict gained weight last year and came in around 295ish.

Not saying he is going to be the next C, but he might be in the mix or be a back up.

I don't think this means anything really but certainly isn't a surprise:

WR DeSean Jackson a no-show at Redskins' 1st voluntary OTAs | Pro32: Head to Head

I hope he is doing hamstring strengthening stuff in Cali.

Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson is not at today's voluntary practice session. Jackson has a $500,000 workout bonus he won't collect

So if he won't collect the 1/2 million is that mean that we recoup that amount in the salary cap?

Yes. And it will roll over into 2017.

This didn't sound all that great...hopefully he heals up soon....

LB Perry Riley isn't participating in workouts because his right foot is bothering him again, and Gruden said he'll get re-checked. Riley was in a walking boot Wednesday.

I like that Reiter has developed his body so he can compete for a roster spot. A real competition at the C position could only be a good thing for the team.

Keith Marshall was mentioned in the same article. I really want to see what he can do. He has all the physical tools a team could want and he's very bright so I feel that he'll learn the position quickly. He believes that his knee injuries are behind him now. If so, I'm hoping we got a steal in the draft.

DJax not showing is another story about nothing. It's a voluntary OTA and "voluntary" means you don't have to show up. I am pretty sure his teammates aren't all that bent out of shape about it.

At the same time, I wish I was rich enough to forgo 500K in order to skip a week of relatively light work. ($500K for a week enters the land of "What wouldn't I do for that?")

I'm sure Jason Reid will write a scathing story about it and try to make it a big deal.

This guy is got talent if only he can stay out of trouble. We need a 4th pass rusher.

Well it's kind of a big deal and it isnt.On the one hand it's voluntary and I doubt none of his teammates have their panties in a bunch about him skipping it,except the missing out on a 500,000 bonus for a week of light work kinda makes it a big deal.I mean thats frickin ridiculous,he's not Bill Gates rich.And it could cause jealousy among his teammates that he makes so much money he can say fock it to 500 grand.If
If this was Dez Bryant skipping a workout for 500 grand many of us would be all over his ass
Now if Djax goes out and has a good season and we do well it will all be forgot about,but if it doesnt go that way it will become more media fodder and they will make it a big deal again,IMO

Saw a comment on one of the articles that made me LOL:

"Hell, for $5,000 I'll show up, do some stretches and watch some film."

Heck, for $2,000 I'll show up and use some shake weights, lol!

Makes me think of this:

[KI Skins Fan]

Some day he will say to himself "I can't believe I didn't show up to collect a $500,000 workout bonus".

I mean even if I'm filthy, f-ing rich, I'm like, "Damn, that's a new high-end sports car."
