Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 
I thought this merited its own thread....

I'm sure we can turn this into Redskins transactions later on.

Long overdue. Think we all saw this coming

Two immediate thoughts.

1) Sellers has been a frustrating point of contention for me in the Shanahan era, and this release is a step in the right direction for his team.

2) We should celebrate a player who was on the street in 2004 and made himself into a deserving pro-bowler and a fan favorite.

A good Redskin in his day but thank god he's gone. Hopefully he will be the last 280LB tackle hurdling FB in Redskins history...

mooby 03-12-2012 02:27 PM

Nooooooo! We're doomed!

Jokes aside, he was a good player and a good teammate. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Caveman has always been a big favorite of mine. Sad to see him go, but Daryl Young is the dude. Thanks for everything, Mike.

But, it's due.

Unsurprising but sad. Good luck, Big Mike.

Agreed on both points!

Big Mike Sellers, what a career! He was the senior most Skin if i'm correct, having played 2 stints here. As several have said, no surprise here really, but always sad to see a guy like him go.

Gmanc711 03-12-2012 02:42 PM

re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 
Def a good Skin'. Allot of memories from Big Mike, but as others have said, its definitely time. I was really surprised he made it last year, but if he plays elsewhere I wish him luck...but I think this is prob the end of the line for him.

I remember that.
He had a few more highlights that day and we destroyed Detroit in that game.

Paintrain 03-12-2012 02:49 PM

Great locker room guy, hope they find a way to keep him in the Redskins organization. His playing days are likely done but I'd like to see him as a lifelong Redskin.

sportscurmudgeon 03-12-2012 03:00 PM

re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 
Certainly his release is one year later than it should have been - - and perhaps two years later than it should have been.

It says something when fans remember a guy for a couple of big hits over the past 5 years instead of a few game winning plays...

I think that will be remembered as his lasting impact for this team. He always came and played hard, no matter the circumstances. And besides, since when are FB's known for game winning plays? I'll remember his timely big hits on offense and special teams and the way he used to go all "road grader" on guys back in his time. I felt he was a big part of Portis' success.

Evilgrin 03-12-2012 03:07 PM

re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 
I LOVED him a few years ago, but as many have said he added almost nothing to the team the last year or two. I don't know if it was his size catching up to him, but he missed so many blocks, he made himself almost a liability.

BigHairedAristocrat 03-12-2012 03:13 PM

re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 
i think we kept him atleast 3 years too long. he should be thankful

How many fullbacks in the modern era get remembered for game winning plays anyway?

Edit: Sorry mooby, I wasn't trying to steal your point. Great minds think alike at the same time. :)

Well said.

Sad to see him go, but it was definitely time. Maybe he will be back in a coaching/personal type role.

Thanks Big Mike

Sellers could have still contributed to the offense and special teams. But this team needs to get younger. They had him as Joe Bugel would say, on scholarship last year. It was past time for his Redskin tenure to end. I hope he goes into coaching.

Add Atogwe to the list of cuts. Man, we are f'ed.

Haslett lost or the Salary Cap #s won?

Hear hear. It's all good.

Also, if Landry leaves, we are going to have some serious holes to fill in FA.

wow, OJ gone too just after a year? So we need 2 starting safeties come tomorrow? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow not good

The Redskins released O.J. Atogwe? Man, that's mind blowing. Overall, I thought he played well because he did intercept some passes last season. But maybe they took a look at Atogwe's age along with his problems to stay healthy as the main reasons for cutting him.

Really?

He was pretty piss poor

freddyg12 03-12-2012 03:47 PM

re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 
I didn't think OJ would be cut. If anything, maybe in camp. Maybe cutting him now had to be done for cap space? Could have a really random tandem at safety before it's all over!

he was injured and it really affected his speed. Looked real slow on the field.

Who do you guys think is going next? Landry, maybe Moss?

Landry is a FA, so he is already off our roster.

CultBrennan59 03-12-2012 03:50 PM

re: Redskins Roster Cuts (Sellers, Atogwe)
 
Moss and Hall are both likely to be cut. Orakpo and Trent may restructure..
