Yeah. That's what you get for NOT thinking.

Huge props to Samuels. Was one real bright player in a decade of mediocrity. I don't know about HoF, but he better go on the Skins' Ring the day he is eligible. He is a class guy, who gave everything his body could, and did right by the Skins at every turn. He will be missed.

No one is suprised by this, but he is a great lineman who will be missed. Smart call on his part, thanks for everything Chris.

Ha, pretty much. I'll just stick to the JC threads, those are pretty much my wheelhouse.

Well then, it's good to see that Danny's second pick turned out to be a really good one!

Can't blame the guy for being concerned about his health. True 'skins like him are hard to find. Maybe we'll find some way for him to stick around in the organization.

Longtimefan · 03-01-2010, 09:49 AM

He's doing the right thing. He's going to be missed as a decade cornerstone at the LT position. At least Vinny had enough sense to draft him, Bruce Allen must now draft his replacement......Chris Samuels has been agreat Redskin.

SmootSmack · 03-01-2010, 09:52 AM

Chris Samuels, Walter Jones, Junior Seau (again) and Kurt Warner all retiring this year. Wow

jdlea · 03-01-2010, 09:54 AM

It's going to be strange to see Chris Samuels go. I've been a big fan of his ever since we selected him 3rd overall, after LaVar.

He was a great Redskin who had a fantastic career. I wish him nothing but the best and I think he's doing the right thing. His health is far more important than his career.

Good REDSKIN enjoy retirement.

T.O.Killa · 03-01-2010, 04:04 PM

Does anyone know if we are going to sign Levi Jones

CultBrennan59 · 03-01-2010, 04:13 PM

I'll miss Chris, but at the same time this needs to be done. He's a great player. Does anyone know how this will work with the cap and a retired player, like even if the cap comes back.

CRedskinsRule · 03-01-2010, 04:15 PM

I assume that's why they are waiting, once the cap goes away he won't affect us, even if the cap comes back. Same with Joey Porter in Mia. They have to wait till the 5th, but then hes gone.

SirClintonPortis · 03-01-2010, 08:28 PM

He was one of the bright spots in a decade of mediocrity. Best of luck to you, Chris.

+1 for Okung. Thanks for playing Mr. Samuels and good luck.
