"At Baylor, Jefferson was dismissed from the team after he and teammate Josh Gordon were found asleep in Jefferson’s car at a Taco Bell drive-thru. Police found marijuana in the car. Jefferson converted from tight end to defensive end and transferred to Stephen F. Austin State and led the Southland Conference with 16 sacks."

LOLOL.

Did they literally get so high, they both fell asleep while waiting on their food? LMAO.

Tarik El-Bashir: "In Washington, Jefferson will join a corps of OLBs that includes veterans Ryan Kerrigan and Trent Murphy, rookie standout Preston Smith and reserve Houston Bates."

Tarik is slippin'. He didn't even mention Junior Galette among our OLB's.

So, will Jefferson last months, weeks, or days?

An under-the-radar guy to look out for: Outside linebacker Willie Jefferson, who at 6-5, 246, has great size to go with what seems to be good speed and athleticism. A second-year pro who played in six games for Houston in 2013, Jefferson will try to make the team as an extra pass rusher behind Kerrigan, Smith and Galette. Jefferson showed some flashes out there today as he applied pressure off the edge.

I know that, if you look at the previous post I mentioned "if he stays out of trouble".

One cut zone scheme runner who would have fit absolutely perfectly in the Shanahan running scheme. We'll see how much more power we use as we move into the 2nd year with Callahan.

I'm comfortable with seeing what we have at RB in training camp, and then calling Pierre Thomas if we need to at that point.

Nobody really cares about guys missing OTA's. It's something that twists the fan's panties, that's about it.

My reaction is it would be the opposite of that.I dont care if he misses,you dont care,schneed doesnt care,but I would think his coaches and some of his teammates would,especially if he's the only guy who's a no show.I dont know if he is the only guy,I'm just sayin.

Since I'm not tuned into the local DC radio sports stations,I dont know what the fan reaction is there about it.

And let me reiterate,if the 500,000 bonus wasnt involved,it would be much more of a non story and maybe it still will be.Like I said earlier,if the season goes well it will be a non story,if it doesnt then this will most likely be brought up again and used against him,you know how that shit goes.

Yeah if you're a rookie, or new to the team, it seems extra important to make them. You need all the time you can get to learn the playbook. But a vet, especially a smart one that knows the playbook like Jackson? It has exactly no bearing on the season.

I don't think it had anything to do with his hammy injury last year, either.

It's his bonus, I doubt any of his teammates care what he does with his own time. Sure the coaches would probably like him to be there, but its voluntary work and they can't do a damn thing about it. In the end no one is losing any sleep over it.

If I am one of the <$1M players, I am just shaking my head and laughing "Damn, must be nice" and saying to the coaches "Yo, Jay! I run DeSean's routes for you this week for the low, low price of $ 250K!"
