Can start claiming at Noon EST today

I might be late to this info, but it seems the name at CB is Crezdon Butler. CB from arizona claimed off waivers by us. He was drafted in the 5th round by pitt a couple years ago. He has good speed.

I have a legitimate question here... Why is everyone so worried about signing Steve slaton? U do realize he's not any good right?

He has sucked the past few years, but his rookie year didn't he run for like 1300 yards and catch a bunch of passes. And to top that it was out of the shanahans offense in Houston. So i guess ppl might see some upside for him in our system.

That and there are a few WVU fans on here.

IKNOWRIGHT?! cuz no 1's ever done better in a different system or returned 2 former glory when they change scenery like ever... ever ever. just sayin'

[edit: don't care about Slaton personally]

[skinsfaninok]

I'm not against bringing him in but I just don't know if he's better than helu or Morris

And especially since there's talk of bringing Hightower later in the season when he's healthier. No one knows if Hightower will be claimed by someone else, I highly doubted at this stage of his health status.

I don't know how I feel about bringing him in, honestly I was of the mind set that they needed to keep four RBs since there always seems to be a decent amount of injuries to Shanny's backs.

Hightower to me is the guy I want, but I would take Slaton if they don't feel TH can get back at it this year.

[JoeRedskin]

If they bring him in, he'll be the 4th back behind our current three.

According to the Miami Dolphins website Slaton was cut today.

That and we were talking about getting him for a guy we were going to cut anyway. Free player with some upside.

Slaton is better then any back we have atm. People are on the Morris train right now but the guy is running over 2nd teamers and the Colts. Who couldnt stop my high school team from scoring last year. Helu should be the starter is we dont end up getting Slaton. Hes our best back, only thing is... People say he has durability issues.

If he was so good why is he waiting for his 3rd team? He is no Darren Sproles.

I said he's the best back THE REDSKINS would have. Not in the league. Helu struggles to beat out Royster and another rookie RB. The only RB out of the 4 to do anything productive would be Slaton, and he was beat out by one of the best RB in the NFL at the moment. Doesn't mean he wouldn't do great things here.

Bush is better then Slaton as well, but it still doesn't change the fact that Slaton would be better then anything we have at the moment. There is a reason Kyle want's to trade for him even though we are so "deep" at RB. Just saying.
