As for us, I wonder if we might be moving Westbrook or Eubanks up from the practice squad for secondary depth? Although where we really need it is at Safety, not CB

My first thought was that they might bring Omar Stoutmire back.

I cannot understand the release of Mason after they ranted and raved about how good he looks, Gibbs even mentioned it to George Michaels on his show saturday night.... I hope he clears waivers.... I was pulling for the local grads I guess

[mooby]

Yeah it seems he's the hometown hero in this situation. I really hope he clears waivers because I want to see him succeed. On a positive note, because he was on the roster before the first game his salary for the season was guaranteed.

It's nice to hear the Ade got signed too.

[SFREDSKIN]

Zach Piller and OL who's played with the Titans and was a 53 man roster casulaty, is available. Weren't the skins contemplating on sign him in the off season?

THE ADE (and AJFC) are Redskins Fans at heart of course. THE ADE just wants to win a superbowl with the bears and then he'll be back next year to help the Skins as a SB Champion Veteran.

WTF were the Skins thinking anyway letting him go? After watching the Miami game - can anyone seriously defend that Smoot or Rogers are better CB's than THE ADE? Seriously? I know THE ADE has lapses in coverage occasionally, but the rest of his game is solid. Smoot & Rogers are no upgrade for the $$ we're paying them.

Like Mason is ever going to see the field anyway??? It's a nice story but guys get clipped on the practice squad all the time.

70 chip, bend over. since you cant reach your own back, ill pat it for you. and i cant believe fox beat out Stoutmire anyway. unless it has to do with Fox's ability on special teams

If I recall correctly, Mason was shown on the starting 53-man roster on Washington Redskins previously, and even as late as yesterday. Was he actually on the practice squad after the final cuts were made?

[T.O.Killa]

Has anyone picked him up?

how fast can he slip through waiver wire

I think it's 24 hours so he should clear the process...presently.

[Joe Ribbs BBQ]

I had assumed the same time..... so maybe a practice squad player by the end of business today??

I would think so. They should get it on Redskins.Com. or else J-La will have it on his Insiders blog. It may be like a midnight to midnight deal though. We will see.
