Sellers was infintely better in 2011 than OJ was. And sellers sucked. good riddance.

re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Gomes SS & Barnes FS.

[quote=CultBrennan59;896169]Moss and Hall are both likely to be cut. Orakpo and Trent may restructure..[/quote]

if we restructure them it might be taking a risk, because in 2014 the NFL will say you were not allowed to restructure deals in the year following new CBA. and then take away cap space.

its also great to cut players to get cap room but still need to replace them. Moss i can see cutting, it would be time for some of the young WR's we have to step up. If we cut Hall, then we are going to have a completly different secondary next year.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Wilson should still be here, but ya, we are scAHHHHHHREWWWED at safety.

Why would we restructure? I don't think cap space is an issue (yet)...

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

I was a fan of Sellers but it seemed he was never the same player after he got his new contract. If I'm correct that was the same year CP bitched about Sellers blocking or lack of blocking.

Mike was a bad ass FB!

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Wow, now we need a starting FS and SS since Landry is practically gone. If we cut Hall as well, we will be pretty thin in the secondary.

nelson/grant/merriweather 2012!

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Well we're gonna have to create our team like Moneyball!

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Atogwe flat out sucked. He was slow, never blew people up, didn't grab many ints.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Who do you guys see as a replacement for Atogwe?

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Cutting Sellers and Atogwe saves us about $4.5M

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

atogwe is trash, i will only miss his cool hair

8 if you count next year also.

Sad part is Atogwe lead the team in Ints.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Nothing but love for Mike Sellers .. dude was a beast and a team first guy all the way .. I'd love to see him stay with the organization whether it be via tv/radio or even coaching or something .. Just seems like he's a lifer .. hail to #45

Did he?! Wow, could have sworn it was someone else. Did he have two in one game?

I guess I could look it up, huh??

I'd let him replace Sam Huff on the radio broadcast. He seems like a real fiery kinda guy who would bring excitement to the broadcast.

LOL @ Redskins. Laughter is all I got with these clowns running the circus that is the Redskins.

I am not saying I'm hoping Snyder chokes but if he did...

Ahhh....the forum hothead makes his drive by posting.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

The Atogwe problem is this: we brought him in because Haslett wanted him. We paid him eight figures in terms of a year one contract. His performance here was pretty consistent (in spite of some injury related to his age) with what it was in St. Louis. He certainly wasn't worth the $10 million he made last year. He was worth about half that.

Well, his contract was structured so that he was only going to be about a $4-$5 million dollar player per season from here on out. That's about what he's worth.

And after a year where absolutely nothing surprising happened with Atogwe, Shanahan releases him despite Haslett still wanting him.

This is why I keep telling y'all there isn't a greater plan in place than what meets the eye. Our FO is a couple of guys with different opinions all pushing for their guy. And Atogwe is a great example of how our FO operates.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

I like Sam Huff. His senility is sad yet amusing.

do we know that haslett still wants him? or that their wasn't any other reason behind his release (sometimes teams get tired of injured players, drop guys for duis, leaking inside info, not having heart, locker room issues, or a million other things besides straight on field performance)?

just wondering if you had a link or if that statement was purely conjecture on your part...

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

You have to remember we have a NEW DB coach he's probably mentioned guys he would like to coach.

We've been screwed at safety since Sean died.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Honestly losing Atogwe now as well as Landry hurts more than u realize. We just declined on the defensive side of the ball. Both safety's and no BETTER replacements.. Ouch. Were gonna need to address this big time.. But how? Its not too late to resign dirty 30......

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Atogwe and Landy barely played last year anyways.

I agree. I don't see how this hurts us that much.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Yea they didn't play and what was our record? Maybe your happy with Moore as your starter but im not

I'd like to keep moss one more year

[QUOTE=Skins4L;896855]Yea they didn't play and what was our record? Maybe your happy with Moore as your starter but im not[/QUOTE]



Moore isn't even on the team. We do have a 3rd, 2 4ths that can be used on a S. I think Gomes will be good, just was a rookie last year.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

[QUOTE=skinsfaninok;896872]I'd like to keep moss one more year[/QUOTE]



With him as the 3rd WR sure.

[QUOTE=Skins4L;896855]Yea they didn't play and what was our record? Maybe your happy with Moore as your starter but im not[/QUOTE]



Because we all know that safety play was the Redskins achilles heel last year.

Re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 

Based on atoghwe's stats even when healthy, he can be replaced with the same production for a lot less money. Landry has to be gone as long as his main goal is mr olympia...
