Good player for us. One of those FAs that our front office never gets any attention for but we can't pay guys 8 mil a year to play 6 games.

With all the injuries, it's easy to forget that Marcus was once a great linebacker for us.

Hopefully, I'll get to watch him play elsewhere next year.

Glad to see were finally starting to make moves.
He was good the firs two years but injuries set in and he just wasn't really playing that much so I'm glad this happend.

^ Um, I'm not exactly happy that it happened.. Although I know it's necessary move.. But he sure was a great leader for the team, I'm going to miss him alot..

[firstdown]

He will be missed. I'll miss him making a tackle ten yards down field after the RB has a first down and celebrating like he just had a ten yard sack on a game winning stop.

[redsk1]

Hate to see him go but most likely a wise move. A great player for the skins for a long time.

it was good while it lasted.. i liked marcus he was a true skin laid it all out there and had everyone jumping around out there

[SBXVII]

Sorry he was ok in my book so I'll stick with the Cartman responce.....

"Washington.....get the F*** out." LOL. Sorry I saw the South Park episode where they had to pick a replacement for Butters.

[REDSKIN1]

Great player, just wished he could have stayed on the field more. Will be missed.

[skinsfan_nn]

MW was a great Linebacker and roll model on and off the field for the Redskins.

As life goes and we age, and certainly in this business it's hard to stay healthy in the latter years this happened to MW. I wish him nothing but the very best with the rest of his career against everyone except the Skins!

Really cool cat/gentlemen, that made time for the fans loved the Skins (A true Redskin) will be missed. All good things must come to an end.

Have to just keep in mind this is nothing more than a HUGE BUSINESS decision. Nothing more.

I had a couple of questions i wanted to get everyones opinions on:

1) What are the chances we bring Washington back at a much reduced salary?

2) What is the best way to replace Washington? Do we look to the draft? Free agency? Or what about Smoots idea that we move Jason Taylor to OLB and let him replace Washington?

Until i see this actually yield results i'm less than positive... JT is lousy against the run and just not a big hitter. Maybe at weakside he'll manage as a pass rusher but keep in mind offenses will target the hell out of him (especially w/ AC on the same side). If we do this Blache will likely have to keep Horton hovering on that side of the field to fly in and blast the ballcarrier. We'll see...
