Homeward bound and that didn't take long. Wish JJ only the best, great guy and true REDSKIN!

The Lions on the other hand, good luck with that.....

Just read that -- good to hear he found somewhere, it was quick too, a bit surprised by that.. thought it would take a few more days. That puts him back home which is good for him, hopefully he'll retire a Skin.

Wow, this must be like the fastest signing ever in NFL history?

On another hand, I hope he does well with Lions.. But I sure hope he will retire as Skins tho..

Technically the Haynesworth signing is the fastest signing ever :D

Good for him! Jansen was one of my favorite redskins for the past 7 years or so. I hate seeing him go but I guess Bugle and company know what there doing. I hope he retires a Redskin too.

Lol true.. But I was referring to the situation when a guy is being released from the team :silly:

Good move for the Lions, they need veterans to help lead the turnaround.

Nice to see he didnt have to wait long to join a new team. The Lions are a good fit and its cool because hes going home. Glad to see everything worked out.

Yes this was extremely quick even for the hometown ole timer. As I said I wish JJ only real good things great TRUE REDSKIN (when he isn't playing the SKINS that is). Kinda wish he would have just hung up those cleats, especially since the team he is joining ....well is coming off a record breaking 0-16 season.

If he makes the team and is in shape to continue playing..? Week three in Detroit he will get to meet Big AL all over again and maybe a little dose of Orakpo....

Come on football season!

Sidenote: Comcast has a good live interview with THE ROCK before he pulled out of DC, he had lunch with the RED SNAPPER and sailed off to Lions land! I will post the interview if I can find it....of course he was his usual class act!

Peace BO...I mean that in a REDSKIN kinda way ;)

I just watched myself, they didn't show the whole interview tonight on Comcast live. That just shows what a true class act JJ really is and has been to sit there at I'm sure one of the most difficult times in his life.

Stand up guy, class act, locker room leader, one of the best in his prime, hate to see his time expire KIND OF TRUE REDSKIN!

Good luck in Detroit JJ!

(Except week 3, we need that WIN BABY!)

I wonder if snyder and crew played a role in getting this done so fast

Apparently they flew Redskin One to Michigan just to pick him up, so they were pretty damn motivated.
