'It's a dirty business,' one veteran said of the fact all 10 draft picks made it. 'It's not always about football around here.'"

So - how does this mesh with other reports that this team was having great chemistry with the vets helping young guys (looked for link, I think it was a Mosely story (ESPN)). Sounds to me like its just more of JLC's sour grapes over having new guys make the team and his old stand-bys getting the ax.

JLC is making it sound like this only applies to the Redskins. It's a dirty business all around the NFL. Furthermore, unless I missed it, why doesn't he mention that a lot of these veterans were once rookies themselves who knocked out other veterans. Poor job by JLC
