Why would you want an aging CB coming in to block Barnes and Tryon's developments?

No Job is promised in the NFL, I don't care if you were drafted by us or not... who ever will help us win... Development is what the practice squad is for.

I certainly wouldn't keep Tryon over a proven CB who would play for cheap. I am excited about Barnes but just because you draft someone shouldn't guarantee a roster spot if a FA would make you better. When you are 8-8 every starting spot should be open.

I'm still having nightmares of MW getting smoked by J. Witten. Leave him on the free agent market.

If Horton hadn't of blown his assignment and came over the top like he was suppose to, nobody would have gotten "smoked".

Jeremy Tuman would help this team win right now, but I don't think they'll go get him because they want to have Eddie Williams win Yoder's spot as backup FB/3rd TE.

If we were willing to stash Williams on the PS for a year, Tuman could pay off big time on the GL.

Honestly there is no promise that Tryon or Barnes will beat out Smoot or Westbrook for a crack at the starting lineup... An invite to camp doesn't install you instantly in the final roster if you a vetran. It only sets you up with the opportunity to compete. A player like Chris McAllister, Samari Rolle, or Ty Law could come in here and make a positive impact. Filling the roll of the crafty vetran, who can cover the slot and spell Landry at Free Safety on occasion. All I'm worried about is a repeat of the last play of the Rams game last year, when tryon got burned on a game winning play ughh!

That was Torrence not Tryon who got burned, and we cut him. We just need to let the yonger guys step up, and signing a veteran CB would screw up Tyron and Barnes's developement.

I can't see Westbrook making the team and I can't see us PS'ing a 3rd rounder.

I believe Rolle is on the Ravens and I think we're good at corner and we don't need Law or McAllister for the one or two more years that they may be able to play. McAllister hasn't had a healthy year in a long time and Law hasn't played all that well since 2005. If they get put on the roster there's no guarantee a guy like Westbrook won't get picked up off the practice squad and we could lose a good young player. Also if they're on the roster and they get injured then we're short a good player. Lose reps in practice as well. Just overall don't think it's worth it bc I think we have a very solid secondary. Also, I'd much rather have Kareem Moore spelling Landry. I think Tryon will move another spot down on the depth chart and he's improved a lot according to Jerry Gray.

Jerry Gray has said that Tryon is coming along very well and he thinks Tryon is going to be very, very good for a long time in this league. They will not put him on the PS.

It was on the Redskins Blog when Matt Terl interviewed Jerry Gray I think. I remember reading it somewhere.
