Ahhh now I follow...this is what happens when I get excited.

Losing Betts will hurt. Antwan i wont miss, but i'm surprised they let Todd Collins go. This tells me that they will be picking up a new QB. They must have plans for colt because they didnt release him....

The loss of any of these guys wont hurt a bit as none of them were doing anything that another player could have done for a lot less $. The only player that should have been on the list but wasnt is Portis, but I understand the contract and cap reasons he wasnt shown the door.

Let's hold out hope guys, Portis could still be cut because they have a mini camp coming up and i'm sure that Portis will refuse to participate, cause thats just his style

He would have been cut already if it was going to happen. Better get used to it, he's our back for 2010.

Did you hear Bruce Allen yesterday?

Asked about the status of Clinton Portis, Allen replied: "Right now, he's our starting running back and that's what our plan is."

[mredskins]

Portis is our best option at this point. I don't love his mouth but if he is motivated he can still be a force.

im actually happy we are moving ahead full force. These guys all needed to be let go. No excuse to have three backs at the 30 year old mark, are who cant return balls anymore etc,etc. the question is now, who fills the holes?

[JoeRedskin]

So, does this constitute a rebuilding phase? <sarcasm font off>

Glad they did this. These guys had 4-6 years to make it happen and couldn't be consistent winners. Granted, there was a lot of other sh** going on (Bye bye Vinny), but, if these guys couldn't be consistent winners in their prime, no reason to expect them to be so now.

With the loss of Jansen, Samuels, Griffin, Washington, etc. over the last two year, this team is completely retooling and I would be surprised if more than three or four players from 2009 team are on the the 2011 roster.

Good bye Snyderatto, Hello Shanallen.
