Odell Thurman

Getting bombarded with emails on this one and figured I'd post about it here.
The Bengals released the talented but troubled LB today, and yes, the Skins could use depth at LB, but I'd be stunned if this one goes down.

Been poking around on this and see no evidence of Skins interest at all to this point and would be shocked if they put in a waiver claim (heard they did not, in fact). Thurman's next slip up, should there be one, could keep him out of the league for a long, long time and he's already been away for the game for the past two seasons due to substance abuse violations.

Don't see Greg Blache making a move for this guy. Someone may in fact claim him off waivers - Thurman is on his rookie contract and the former second-round pick has a modest contract - but he's a natural inside LB and the Skins have HB Blades backing up London Fletcher there. They could use a someone to replace Randall Godfrey as a super-sub of sorts on the outside, but, again, everything I hear to this point is that the Skins are not looking at this guy.
