Redskins Release WR/KR Jerome Mathis

[Schneed10]

Thrash is very valuable on kick and punt coverage - thereby bringing a proven skill set that we don't otherwise have at the WR position. We already had enough kick return talent on the roster, Mathis didn't bring any skill sets that we don't already have.

Mathis was never going to be worth a crap as a WR. Neither is Thrash. But Thrash can tackle and takes good angles to returners.

Thrash still could get cut if Mix looks good as a kickoff coverage guy. But Mathis brings even less to the table than Thrash does. Not to mention character, and cutting Thrash would cause us to carry dead money. Releasing Mathis doesn't. So it's really a no-brainer.

But thanks for playing, Jsarno.
