Official Redskins Final Cuts Thread

Why would we deal Hightower?

He's apparently healthy again or very close to being, while Helu and Royster are not. We've cut Tristan Davis, so this would leave us with ONE healthy RB and he's a rookie.

I don't believe it. We just re-signed him and I thought Mike Shanahan loved him.


Unless we're bringing someone else in...I keep going back to Ryan Grant who we've been reportedly watching for a while...I don't think we could get away with making this move. Grant would be a big downgrade from Tim too.

More importantly, Hightower is the best pass-blocking RB we've had since Portis. Griffin needs him more for that than gaining yardage.

Apparently his little setback yesterday was not so little. Even if he stays he likely might miss the first couple of weeks

But that's just speculation at the moment. Crazy day of rumors

Well then I could understand trying to get SOMETHING for him. He's a well-known name and could have some value, but that still leaves the problem...who other than Alfred Morris is ready to go at the RB position?

Helu and Royster both played on Wednesday...

Their not going to get something for hightower because multiple reports say that his knee flared up after the Indy game. No need to trade for a RB coming off a Torn ACL who hasn't obviously finished his recovery.

I like him too, perhaps it is because of the competition at WR/LB or possibly the need for a backup CB.
