I was kinda surprised to see that; Shanahan must have seen something in him.. Would be definitely nice if we get 2nd round pick for him, although it's not the likely scenario..

Rocky is upset about being tendered; he apparently wants a extension contract or move onto other team.. Hopefully he (and the coaches) will change their opinions on each other through out the season..

I was surprised as well. I'm not the biggest Heyer fan but I guess Shanahan wants to keep him for depth. He's a decent backup.

Rocky just needs to shut up and play. If he has another productive season, I can definitely see them offering him an extension at some point.

That might be the main reason - after all, we literally have no decent depth on O-line beside few guys.. I can understand this move, I guess..

Edit: I used to be a fan of Heyer; I was hoping that he would improve throughout the season with experiences.. But apparently, he hasn't improved much and coaches didn't have any faith in him.. So..

rocky has shut up and played for 5 seasons under his rookie contract. imo this is a bad move for team chemistry and a bad message to send to our players.

Bad for team chemistry? Every team in the NFL is doing the same exact thing?? The players should be pissed at the players union for allowing this to happen. The Redskins are simply doing what they're supposed to be doing.

Saying it will affect the locker room and team chemistry is a bit of a reach...

yeah it may be a stretch but not by much.

rocky is going to be making the same money other depth players will (golston, doughty, heyer, etc) yet he is a starter and has been a starter for years. so rocky has to take 400 more snaps than golston but still gets paid the same next year? after playing 5 years on a rookie contract as a starter no less?

if dansby is signed and rocky has to play next to him, doing the same thing he is but for 5 million less with no guaranteed future, i think it is fair to say he his going to be pissed.

playing 5 years with these guys im going to assume he has made some friends = players whispering about skins FO not paying their players and giving money to FAs.

i just hope rocky's locker isnt next to carlos' whom i believe he will have alot in common with since he will most likely be playing under a cheap tender while his counterpart hall got "shown the money" for a decent 7 game stretch.

in the offseason: "its a business rocky, no body said it was fair."

5 mins before kickoff: "were a family! we stick together! gives us all you got out there today! WERE GOING TO WAR! rah rah rah stuff!"
