1) Redskins have better offensive weapons than Thrash :
Our Redskin recievers (Moss, Lloyd, and Randel El) and Tight End (Chris Cooley) are all extremely talented players. James Thrash is not very talented
2) He could be considered as a good Special Teams Player......but lets get down to earth now, we HAVE RANDEL EL for Special Teams. Thrash is no longer needed. And if you go back and watch thrash's kick and escpecially punt returning he was pretty bad.
3) If we get rid of Thrash we can use his salary to bring better players to the Redskins team
4) Thrash is injury prone
5) Redskins have plenty of depth on the offensive end

2) he's a monster as a gunner on coverage, where he always draws a double team and as a blocker that won't miss his assignments. he can FC, but that's not why he's good on special teams.
3) oh yeah, who? who is going to improve our team right now for 875k? who's even available? why should our #5 WR be farris or jacobs when thrash can actually catch balls every now and then?
4) that's a lie. in the previous six years he's missed a grand total of 1 game. he missed 4 last year... how the **** is that being injury prone? (in the 2 years before that he wasn't even an every game player, but missing games due to talent issues does NOT constitute being injury prone).
5) so you rather keep jacobs over thrash cause the depth is "good enough"? come on. there's no reason or need to dump a player that'd lower overall team talent if he wants to be here and his salary can't be used to get someone better. therefore there's absolutely no good reason to release him.
how many teams only carry 4 WRs into the season? we did last year, but gibbs himself said it was a really oddity to do that right at the start (of the season), and it bit us down the stretch when jacobs and farris were forced into starting roles.
