Official Redskins Free Agency Thread 2013 Part II

Love the FDavis signing. But was reading articles about Achille's ruptures, and this is still not a sure thing.. 1 out of 3 Achille's injuries don't ever play again in NFL, and the ones that make it back are usually limited. FDavis is still limping and Shanahan is hoping for him to be "80-90%" of what he was.

“If you can come back at 80 percent, that’s still pretty good”. Shanahan said. “You’re shooting for 90 percent, but very seldom do you come back at 100 percent.”

Right, so the one year deal protects us well. Obviously if Fred shines, the big contract awaits. Hope he comes back and can deliver with his potential.

Good article. Hopefully he comes back damn near 100%. But its a great point the article brings up about the few NFL players that have Achilles injuries and come back to play. Terrell Suggs came back and played after a few months, but supposedly he said his wasn't that bad of a tear, because he said that at first he thought he had an ankle sprain.
