Redskins get a pair of draft picks under contract | ProFootballTalk

[mbedner3420]

Is there any indication as to whether we'll need to free up more cash to sign the remaining rookies?

@Rich_TandlerCSN: Jenkins and Rambo signings will not affect salary cap right now, neither deal will end up in top 51 contracts. #Ruleof51

Guess I wasn't the only one who had the same question lol

I think since the last CBA, these rookie contracts are in a tight box financially. It should make it easy to get these guys signed and on board. It really helps that the skins didn't draft in the first round as far as money goes. I would expect all of their rookies to be signed by training camp easily.

officially signed Lance Lewis and he will be coming to camp again. He was invited to camp last year as a rookie but hurt his groin and was out and placed on IR. I know I am a little bias being an ECU alum like Lewis. But the guy can play, hes smooth, and catches with ease @ 6-3. Rooting for him and don't be surprised if he makes the final 53, he's my surprise.

That would be a suprise, all right.
No way a guy this marginal makes the 53...at best, practice squad

Lloydesque Sleeper: ECU WR Lance Lewis | The Rookie Scouting Portfolio

what makes him so marginal? is briscoe a lock to make the team again? Is Hankerson really that consistent to you? Lance can make this team while it might not be likely it's not a no with no doubt bc he is a "marginal" guy.

[That Guy]

he's a 6'3" WR that wasn't drafted, that's what makes him marginal.

that doesn't mean he can't do something, but the odds are highly against it.

Sort of expecting one of the late round UDA receivers to step up.

Rod Smith was an undrafted free agent receiver who got a shot with Shanahan.....

Shannon Sharpe was 7th rounder

Its not only RBs he finds....Just saying.....

[Chico23231]

I would say Aldrick Robinson and Dezmon Briscoe spots are extremely vunerable going into camp.

The fact we are signing every UDFA at the WR position says Shanny is looking to upgrade and is giving everyone a shot. The message is time for Robinson, Briscoe, and Mr Hanky to step up or get the f*ck off the team.

[MTK]

I think our WR corps will look pretty much the same from last year. Maybe one spot up for grabs.

@ESPNRadio980: #Redskins just announced the signing of 5th round pick RB Chris Thompson, and also signed WR Lance Lewis.
