Upcoming Cuts

[T.O.Killa]

I was listening to Vinny Cerato and he said that the Redskins will probably only keep five LB's. He also made it sound like they would not keep four running backs. That means to me, that if they keep Mason they cut Cartright. I doubt it, but Mason is a better back.

That doesn't make any sense,
LB has got the weakest depth, unless hes planning to pick up a vet who's cut later

and Mason is arguably the most impressive bubble player this preseason, you've got to find a way to keep him

Well,Vinny is the general manager. The reason they will only keep five is, because they have no talent beyond Carey and Blades(both of them play all positions). Most likely they would not have more than five linebackers active for a game anyway. It will allow them to keep some of the talented D-Lineman they have. Vinny said they will keep a few LB's on the practice squad, after cuts they will try to sweep a couple up.

Hey, we all love Mason, but will he have an impact on the team if they keep him? Probably not. Some how over the last few years running backs have become a dime a dozen, so I gues that makes it tuff to keep him. For a minute, I thought that they might cut Rock, but I changed my mind after I saw them present him with special teams player of the year. I hope they find a way to keep Mason, but listening to Vinny made me think they are not going to keep four tail backs.
