Yeah but we are down one vet CB. CB better be next year's draft focus.

How are we down one? We had two up for FA this year. Kept one. Lost one and added another

Sad to lose him this way. Josh Wilson is not a capable replacement. It's going to be amusing to see teams go to work on him.

You obviously don't know anything about Josh Wilson, or you're being very sarcastic.

Josh Wilson allowed 46% of the passes thrown his way this past year.
Carlos Rogers allowed 67% of the passes thrown his way, according to profootballfocus.com

Rogers to Wilson will be a fairly even trade off. Wilson has more speed and better ball skills but is small, Los is bigger and more physical, but doesn't make many plays.

I agree as far as the skill set comparison, but Wilson is 4 years younger, so I'd say it leans in our favor.

Word. Plus Wilson seems to be on the upswing, while Rogers has been consistently inconsistent for all these years.

Yeah it's crazy to think Rogers is already 30. Dude's only been in the league 6 years. It's safe to say he's not going to get better than he already is, whereas the upside with Wilson is plenty.

Damn Los, how big is that bruise on the ego?

Sad to see. Smootsmack pointed out a couple months ago that his agent was the same one that Dockery had when he left. Both guys wanted to stay but had an agent that thought they could get big $. Dock did, Los not so much. He should be here, would've been better for both sides, but it sounds like bridges were burned & both sides had to move on.

He likely lost his last chance at a good deal several months back w/the Skins. Testing the market is always a risk.

Watch him have a pro bowl year with the niners, would not surprise me. I wish we would have kept him.

It would shock me. He's not a pro bowl corner. Never was, never will be. We saw his ceiling and it was not a top 10 corner.

If Rogers caught a few more balls that were thrown his way he'd be making Hall money. His ego got put in check but I really don't think Wilson is any better. He got burned several times last year.

Everyone knows my position on this. Not happy to see him go, but it seemed like he really didn't want to be a Redskin. Regardless of how you feel about his skills, if his heart and mind are not fully committed to us it is best he moves on.
