last season jafar williams had 14 catches for 201 yards and 3 touchdowns.

wilson sounds like he has good awareness and above average tackling abilities but doesn't have the hands to turn a deflection into an int.

the wr standeford sounds like a very solid wr pickup. i bet from what i saw of him over this past season and his career production, if he's not on the final roster he'll atleast be on the practice squad. anyone know if cloman is being brought back this year or did he sign with another team cuz he showed a lot of promise last preseason 2?

What amazes me about him is he is a good pass rusher, recording 220 tackles (132 solos) with 18 sacks for minus-116 yards. Would be grat for Redskins since they are planning on using the 3-4 defense on ocassion.
Earned Sun Belt league Player of the Year honors in each of his last two seasons, unheard of for a NT.
The four-year starter has the prefect blend of strength, size and speed to dominate the action in the middle of the field … Unlike most nose guards, Kennedy has had considerable success getting to the quarterback throughout his career … Started 44 of 48 games for the Mean Green, recording 220 tackles (132 solos) with 18 sacks for minus-116 yards, a conference and school all-time record 65 stops for losses of 215 yards, four fumble recoveries, five forced fumbles and five pass deflections.
I think teams have overlooked him just because he is short.

I saw him play here at Memphis this past fall, and the guy is squat and very hard to run at. He'd be a great free agent addition, although I think we're set at d-tackle and need to be looking more at rush ends.

i think that'd make skinsncanes happy with the payton signing and i could see him being a solid backup. and i could see peter's being turned into a fulltime tackle or even backing up rasby as the blocking te.

Peters signed with Buffalo

Would Jaret Peyton sign with us? You would think that he would sign with Da Bears. He for sure would be a fan favorite. But if we got him good for us.

I heard the Skins UFA list was supposed to be out today – but I can’t find anything anywhere. Are they going to put it up tomorrow?

[spanishomelette]

As Cush has shown what I read was just rumor. So I guess we'll have to wait to see on Payton.

He already is living in the shadow of his father, but too compound that with signing and trying to play with his dad's former team would be an even more incredible weight to bare IMO.

From Maske's chat over at WP.com today:

I did hear a few names last night about un-drafted people the Redskins are signing. I don't have the names in front of me right now, but I do recall that there was a linebacker they think will make their season-opening roster. He had a third- or fourth-round grade on their board but fell because of a slow 40 time.

Wonder if he is talking about: LB Billy Strother, New Mexico ?

Well shoot... I was hoping that Uyi Osunde would come here. Being that the kid is a UConn Husky (I am almost as big a UConn fan as I am a Skins fan) makes him A-1 in my book.

But even better than that, we would have had the all-name team from hell... Iffy, Ade, and Uyi.

And for the record, yes I did have a freaking blast watching college ball at the beginning of this month!

Payton was signed by Tennessee

Hey Butz... Props to UCONN.... I live 5 minutes away from Storrs. Go Huskies! My wife is a '94 alum.
