Re: Jerome Mathis signed
Redskins give Mathis 'last chance' - - Breaking News, Political News & National Security News - The Washington Times
Quote:
An NFL source agreed, saying: "If the kid can stay healthy, he's a weapon. At a minimum salary [deal], what do the Redskins have to lose?"
Perhaps some tarnishing of what former coach Joe Gibbs would call their good name, something owner Dan Snyder claims to treasure. But Texans general manager Rick Smith and coach Gary Kubiak at last week's NFL meetings assured Cerrato that Mathis isn't big trouble.
"They both said that Jerome's a good person who just needs a fresh start," Cerrato said.
Said Mathis: "I made some mistakes in my younger days, but I'm a different person. I'm not looking at Washington as a second chance. It's more like my last chance."
