Ryan Kerrigan - Keep Him or Let Him Go?

[Buffalo Bob]

I don't know which one of the AM radio sports talk shows it was as I flip between 3 when driving, mostly due to reception issues. They were talking Redskins and some Cowboy fan calls up and says if Kerrigan is cut loose he will end up with a star on his helmet. That would not seem right to me, kind of like a guy sleeping with his best friend's wife.

As for what to do I would try to restructure and keep him. Until last year the guy never missed a game and averaged double digit sacks.

Pro football isn't about feelings and nostalgia. It's a ruthless cutthroat business. It would suck but if Farve went to go play for the Vikings then Kerrigan can go to Dallas. In the end it's business.

Now is the perfect time to move on from Kerrigan. You have to have the ability to see when a player is starting to hit the downside of his career and now is that time for Kerrigan.

If Kerrigan was demanding to be a starter and to earn starter money, you'd be correct. But it sounds like this is not the case. We don't know that for sure, but if he wasn't in the team's future plans, he'd been cut.

The team could still trade him. But from what a lot of reporters are saying, it seems that both the team and Ryan are going to work something out.

I just disagree with keeping him around. The team is still rebuilding so I'm not keeping any older guys at all. It shouldn't matter if he wants to be a starter or not. I'm on the phone with the Ravens or any contender that's looking for a part time pass rusher and working out a deal.

You know who really likes him and values him as a core Skins

That’s right, our meddling owner

Can you blame Snyder though? Kerrigan has been a model player for the Redskins. All the reason to send him somewhere where he has a chance to win a championship to cap of his career. I just don't think Snyder sees it that way. He probably wants "core" guys like Kerrigan to never play for anyone else and will hold on to him for personal reasons.

I'm kinda in the same boat, he's getting old and about done. Let him go play for a team that is closer than us
