Oh, yeah forgot that he was the ST Captain. Yep, clearly a beast.

Look I'm not saying he's garbage. Just saying if we can get someone who can fill more then one roll ie; being a KR/PR/ and an actual RB to spell Portis would be great as a change up. If he fill this roll good for us if not cut him. I love how people are quick to put down Marcus Mason but please don't put down Thomas for not doing to well vs the first stringers or Kelly. Please don't give me the Kelly was hurt crap either. He was out up until mid season. He technically was ok to play after our mid season break they just didn't activate him or used him very little.

If you are going to say they needed time to grow into their roll and 1st year WR never usually do well then please use the same justice for Mason. Mason was cut to make room for either more WR's cause Kelly was hurt and they didn't want to IR him or CB's. Simply put we needed space. Why they wouldn't cut Westbrooke is beyond me but apparently he's worth something of which I can not see.

I was just providing the facts. I didn't think that we should have kept him last season unless he was going to become the number 2 if we would have traded Betts. In other words, I like him as a number 2 and as a leader in the locker room, but not as a return man.

Redskins are reportedly also interested in bringing in Brandon Guillory of the Edmonton Eskimos (he's Chris Wilson-esque)
