Well we need this, as I said over the past couple of years we kept people, and kept paying without any dividends. This team needed to be blown up a long time ago.

They cut Eddie Williams.

Another sign they're making room for Peyton Hillis.

Fear of what....?

Are you really surprised at even one name that got the axe?

All but maybe Griff have already over extended there stay in DC IMO.

If anything they are cleaning up the books to get a few real football players in here. This is a good start.

I like it. these guys needed to go. No time to have any personal feelings towards any of the players on our roster. This is going to be a newly built football team not a bunch of Gibbs leftovers. New blood is much needed at redskins park.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 03-04-2010, 08:34 PM

These guys are ready to build the football team. Why didnt we wait until Friday though? I thought we had to wait till Midnight to let these guys go.

Trample the Elderly · 03-04-2010, 08:39 PM

If you keep saying blow it up long enough it will happen. Now all we have to say is win.

The Goat · 03-04-2010, 08:41 PM

No surprises in the cuts really. I do hate to see Griff go, I think he's still a very good DT...in a 4-3.

GusFrerotte · 03-04-2010, 08:55 PM

Yeah really, who can really be surprised at any cuts that will be made. Only a handful of guys could be deemed untouchable or good trade bait on our roster. WE all have our fav players, etc, but these guys really are the epitome of mediocrity.

SmootSmack · 03-04-2010, 09:00 PM

No surprises here. Well, actually there were a couple of more guys that were close to being cut but...made the cut it seems.

But this is what we talked about a couple of weeks ago. That there would be major changes to the current roster. Shanahan and Allen have no loyalties to anyone on the roster and they've never been afraid to make changes

And there's more to come. Skins seem really intent on shipping Rocky and Campbell out ideally by this weekend (regardless of what they're saying).

Lots of Browns rumors floating around. Some good, some not so good. Depending on your perspective I suppose.

I'm ok with Campbell being shipped out as long as there's a solid plan to overhaul this line to protect whatever rook we get at QB. If Rocky and Campbell result in picks, I'm all for it. Just as long as whatever they do is good for the team, I'm all for it.

Did somebody say Rocky and Campbell for Shaun Rogers and a second?

The Goat · 03-04-2010, 09:09 PM

I don't get the move to trade Rocky. I could see him bulk up a bit and play ILB in a 3-4...obviously he's not an edge-rusher. I wonder if the drive to trade him means we're def getting Dansby?

Throw Quinn or Anderson in instead of the second! lol

GusFrerotte · 03-04-2010, 09:10 PM

Absolutely no surprises. Smoot lost his magic from the glory days when he first came on the scene when he was with Champ. ARE was a really big disappointment. Cartwright was a special teams journeyman. Betts was a decent backup, but was totally expendable. Thomas should have had a joint press conference with Chris and retired with him. He should have gone out that way as the handwriting was on the wall. Collins being released confirms a QB is going to be taken, but in which round?

SBXVII · 03-04-2010, 09:12 PM

Ok, can someone provide the full list as of right now who has been cut.

I had a wonderful family outing tonight and since the first 5
Betts
Cartwright
Smoot
Griffin
R.Thomas
Samuels-retirement

who else got axed? the radio said we are up to 10 now.
