The Redskins have informed ILB Mason Foster he will be released, according to a source.

Whoa....why now?

skinsfaninok · 07-23-2019, 12:19 PM

I am not assuming here but maybe it has to do with freeing up cap space for our 2 lineman

GridIron26 · 07-23-2019, 12:22 PM

While I'm not disappointed with this move, this is a surprising move given the fact we only have Harvey-Clemons and Holcomb behind Foster and Dion-Hamilton? I assume there is a chance we will resign Foster at lower cost or sign someone who has been released by a team recently.

Solid tackler but lacks speed and is horrible in coverage.. It's not a huge loss IMO.

Career grade of 59.8.

Meh

We disagree on that.
I think he has highly underrated coverage abilities. He's a smart player who made some nice plays in zone coverage.
He had some bad games and is not athletic, but on many games his smartness and toughness made up for it IMO.

Now, maybe last year's instagram turmoil wasn't 100% cleared up, and if the move ends up helping solving the TW and/or the BS situation, I'm fine with it.

I'm hoping this means H-C or another young guy is showing a lot of promise.

Foster can't run with the backs in the NFC East and he is constantly bitching about something. It's time to go.

skinsfaninok · 07-23-2019, 12:43 PM

Jon Bostic is the guy IMO

Also wouldn't surprise me to see Ryan Anderson moved inside as well

Lets not forget the rookie Holcomb who had 100 tackles last yr in college

Haven't forgotten about him, I'd love to see them two as a nice combo

No chance.

Only way he plays inside is at strong side LB in a 4-3.

He lacks the speed and skill set to play ILB in a 3-4.

I totally forgot we signed Bostic, this move makes completely sense now.

Why is he on his 6th team and he is 28? Also reading up on him he was behind Mason Foster on the depth chart when with the Bears in 2015. On the Fan 106.7 yesterday they were saying Foster was cut because of Bostic.
