It's just bone spurs, but he's having it done on both ankles.

Least he can sit out like he said he would. I guess he's a man of his word???

Jeez I wish we picked him up...........

On that note.....LOL, How long will he potentially be out of service?

He has timed this just about right so they have to pay him and he can get out of playing for sometime anyways.

Just a publicity stunt.

This guy is a total ass. Who isn't tired of him at this point? How selfish. A surgery he could have had in February he puts off till mid-June. He's on his way to TO status in my book.

When will this guy become like Jose Canseco where no one cares about his antics? (granted this is an "injury", but whenever his name comes up, I yawn)

You know now that you mention it....is it just me or has every player managed by Drew Rosenhaus stated they want a new contract with better pay or they are sitting out?

The other day I thought of this and I can't remember why but it was another one of his players crying that he deserves a better paycheck....was it Shockey? or the Giants WR sitting out? I can't remember but I immediatly thought "Wow, he must be going through a divorce or child support went up or he wants a new house or something.

Thanks for the update - initial reports erroneously said both ankles.

I'm just glad we got out of the Chad sweepstakes when we did. Even if all of our rookies don't pan out I'll be happy that we selected them to be Redskins instead of trying to turn this guy into one.
