Offseason Roster Moves Thread

Davis retired today

Thank god. They should cut Reed early in the process so the market grows a lil larger with him on the street.

I think Reed will also retire. If he tries to continue to play he risks damaging his health due to more concussions. CTE is no joke and the case of Aaron Hernandez is well known- he had a major case of CTE before his life descended into hell.

If Reed decides to continue to play in the NFL, I don’t think the Redskins will resign him. He is too much of an injury risk after the last two years. He has so much potential but it means nothing if he can’t play in the regular season.

I think that the big FA signing this season will be for TE. A big contract at this position will have the biggest impact for the team, for the money.

Vernon Davis retired.

With Kendall Fullers interception in the SB, it will cost more to bring him back. I thought we might sneak him back on the team but I guess that’s not happening.

I’m still amazed at how Andy Reid took Bruce Allen in the Alex Smith trade. Alex was going to be released anyway with Mahomes moving up. Yet, Reid played Bruce like a drum - getting a third round pick AND Kendall Fuller in the deal!! Fuller has an excellent final season with the Redskins. Andy Reid always played the Redskins for suckers, dumping Donovan McKnabb on us back in the day, AFTER he was washed up.

Olsen has a broadcasting career locked and loaded if he wants it. I don’t think it’s a given he keeps playing, but if he does come here I’d be fine with it. It’s not as if he’s the answer beyond a year or so but he could be a band-aid on a messy situation at TE.

A band-aid who understands Rons system and could contribute almost immediately. Seems like a no-brainer but we shall see.

CTE can only be accurately diagnosed post mortem, so while Hernandez might well have it it can't have been diagnosed. Besides there's no causal link to it making someone homicidal so it's a bit of a stretch to relate it to his behaviour. It's more likely to lead to depression and similar psychosis than make you homicidal.

But yeah, Reed should hang em up after so many concussions not to mention the other injuries.

Olsen and Reed should join the retired list. No way I want either on this roster.

I seriously doubt CTE had a thing to do with the plight of Aaron Hernandez. His criminal behavior, drug use and the crowd he ran with went back to High School. If you want an example of CTE's devastating effects look at someone like Junior Seau.

I’m not saying that’s Aaron Hernandez’s murders and criminal behavior were caused by CTE. But CTE causes constant blinding headaches and many other bad effects that destroy an ex-players quality of life. I think that Reed will quit the NFL, because he’s worried about destroying his post-NFL life.
Other young NFL players have or will do so in the future.

Even if he doesn’t leave the NFL, the Redskins can’t gamble on his again. Besides the Redskins need his cap space to hire a new TE FA. I think the skins will spend big money on this position in FA.

Another young talented DE will be a FA.

edit - article calls him a DE but I think for sure he is a LB.
-----------------------

The Atlanta Falcons announced that they will not pursue negotiations with defensive end Vic Beasley Jr., meaning the former NFL sack champion will become a free agent.

"As we continue to craft our 2020 roster, we'd like to thank Vic for five years of effort on behalf of our organization,'' general manager Thomas Dimitroff said in statement on Monday.

Beasley, who was coach Dan Quinn's first draft pick in 2015, taken eighth overall, did not show consistency despite leading the NFL with 15.5 sacks in 2016 -- the season the Falcons made it to the Super Bowl. Beasley made the Pro Bowl that year but managed just five sacks in each of the 2017 and 2018 seasons. Although Beasley had eight sacks this past season, 6.5 of those came in the second half of the season.

Rookie year he looked HOF but he has been inconsistent, not that I watch many Falcons games though.

Is he really a DE now? I thought he was strictly a LB. Thought he was fast, kinda a sideline to sideline pursuit guy.

He's listed at 6'3" and 245 lbs .. that too small to be an end in any system imo.
Chase Young is 6'5" and 265.

If he was reasonable and wanted to move back to LB, Id kick the tires for sure. No idea if Atlanta was playing him as a hand in dirt type but if they were ... yesh.

He reminded me of CJ Mosley, who the Ravens let walk and signed a mega deal w the Jets.

FA = talented edge rushers
