This is shocking.

Thanks.

Growing up in DC, I always like to see confirmation.

I couldnt find anything on it.

He had 4 sacks last year. Which isn't much, but it'd have been second only to Carter's 6 on our team last year

Also, although it's echoing Adam Schefter.

Definitely surprise cut of the year for the Skins.

[freddyg12]

Me too, I thought he might get in on passing downs some for Fletcher.

[freddyg12]

I always hate to see career long skins cut or traded. Marshall always filled in wherever needed. I did get the impression from a couple of his comments in the offseason that he wasn't happy w/Rocky being promoted.
Maybe he was becoming a distraction?

[Monkeydad]

Well, there was some initial shock for me because of what Lemar HAS done for us in the past, but when I think about it more, we have a very good bunch of young LBs. Rocky, Sartz, Blades...they all look like they'll be great. (Rocky already is).

I guess we're actually thinking about our future. We have begun making some huge successes out of draft picks and young talent in the last few years instead of relying on old vets...Taylor, Rogers, Campbell, Landry, McIntosh, Betts...there's probably plenty more.

I think the Front Office just realized that they had almost gone through an entire offseason without casting aside another long-time skin and figured they had to change that.

I don't know, maybe he's injured, maybe he mouthed off to a coach, whatever the case is, I can't help but believe there had to be someone other than Marshall that could have been cut to make room for yet another guy who doesn't know our system.

Naw, LeMar's a pretty quiet, keep your head down, type of dude; can't imagine him mouthing off. I'm scratching my head on this one.

Now, that's a shocker! Damn, I thought Lamar would do just fine in a backup roll.

[jbcjr14]

Wow, if this is true it is a SHOCKER!

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Well, this was about as smart as chewing rocks.

This is a Bull Shit move if true. Marshall is a proven NFL LB. They do not grow on trees. I do not care if he is only good at WLB and not at SLB where we now have a need. There are several worthless back up LB on our roster that will never make it in the NFL. Dallas Sartz? Cut them before you cut a real player that will contribute and can back up all three positions.
The ironic part is I finally watched the Steelers game last night and Lemar played well. If true this is a bad move. Depth will be hurt by this move.
A coaches ego might be playing into this if it is true.

MAYBE that's why he needed to be cut, or have his pay cut. He's a proven LB that lost his job to a more talented and bigger young LB. He'd be making more than he'd really be earning as a backup, so maybe they didn't want to pay a backup player a starter's contract.

Football IS a business.
