Release Him!!!
 

If you had to release a single Redskin player (a starter) who would you release and why?

Re: Release Him!!!
 

Does Betts count as a starter?

If not Betts i'd say Rabach. He constantly get beat and is always good for about three false starts a game(always in the red zone).

The thread title is kinda misleading

Re: Release Him!!!
 

Ya the thread should be renamed which redskins should we not release

Yeah but he's asking which you would.

I'm going to have to go with Thrash here.

I was joking..cause I could think of lots of skins we could cut

Re: Release Him!!!
 

Mine would be Jansen just because we should cut the cord on him.

Our OL is suffering because Jansen can't sustain a whole season at RT. He seems like the focus of a lot of our breakdowns late in the season.

Ohhh, haha, I get it now.

Re: Release Him!!!
 

On offense it would be Jansen.. Does Suisham count as a starter?

Re: Release Him!!!
 

ARE hands down. (is this a fairy tale world, or realistic with cap implications? Cause I would NOT cut ARE if we had to take that 13+ mil hit)

Ditto, if our new punt returner would just fall forward everytime he caught the ball our punt return yardage would be greater then last year.

The sad thing is that they have so little depth that you really can't cut anybody except possibly Thrash or Yoder. ARE is a waste of space but, sadly, he is our second best wideout. I saw someone said Rabach but who would play center, Jansen?

I think you could cut Thrash and any of these guys off the street (Hackett, Williams or Washington) could outperform him. I also think that Davis should be ahead of Yoder.

A single Redskin , and my sister thought they were all married , now she has hope :) Too damn tough a decision to cut any skin .

Re: Release Him!!!
 

If Thrash counts, then Thrash.

If Thrash does not count, then whoever is at right tackle, presumably Jansen.

Either way my reasoning is that we can make that cut without a big dropoff in terms of who would have to fill the empty shoes.

Re: Release Him!!!
 

Release Jansen take the hit this year. Next year will not be uncapped

Re: Release Him!!!
 

The candidates are:

Rabach - never gonna be better than you saw last year

Heyer - after three years of Joe Bugel tutelage, you have to expect better if there is any talent there to make better.

Randle-El - lots of money tied up there for mediocre on-field production.

Thrash - not much as a WR, but does add value to special teams.

Griffin - if you believe any/all of the young DTs are worth more than a bucket of warm spit, then Griffin is expendable.


My pick: Rabach...

Re: Release Him!!!
 

Without a doubt, Doughty!

Re: Release Him!!!
 

[quote=backrow;555181]Without a doubt, Doughty![/quote]

Is he a starter? He is definitely behind Horton and probably behind Moore.

Re: Release Him!!!
 

I don't want to change the gist of the thread, but the question is, with or without cap numbers involved? It makes a difference. For example, cutting Randle El would cost us $13.4M, keeping him is $4.1. Cutting Jansen- $6.2M, keeping him $3.4M. So realistically dropping those two can't happen.

I'll assume we're dealing with reality here, and so I'll take the cap numbers into consideration. I say Rabach. He stinks and would only cost us $1.3 to cut, and $3.6 to keep. Problem is we don't have an upgrade for him currently on the roster.

For the record I think Randle El is a marginal return man at best, and wouldn't be any better than a #3WR on almost all teams. But a $13M hit in '09 is absurd. Cap numbers aside, I'd like to dump him, Rabach, Thrash, Jansen, and Betts.

Re: Release Him!!!
 

How ironic it is that people are quick to defend players when asked if they should be cut. lol. but these names have come up before.

ARE
Jansen
Rabach
Betts
Rogers..lol.
can we add Rock?
Thrash

Imagin if....if some of the people we picked up this yr can actually play better and bump any of these players. CAP implications a side. I honestly could see...

Jansen...cap hit
Thrash
Rabach
Rock
Betts

I think we brought in enough talent that these guys should worry but I get the feeling most of these players will be going nowhere simply cause they have been with the team and have the system atleast a yr under there belts.

Re: Release Him!!!
 

Rabach. We could replace him with a speedbump and get better results.

Re: Release Him!!!
 

Cooley, cause T.E. come a dime a dozen

Re: Release Him!!!
 

Clarification: You're an angry fan and you just want somebody release regardless of salary cap ramification. You can only release players at the head of the [URL="http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/was/depthchart"]depth chart[/URL].

maybe in a gay bar but no way a Cooley calibur player comes a dime a doezen

Re: Release Him!!!
 

I'd go w/ Thrash first...we save a bit on cap and to boot he's basically been replaced already. I'll be very surprised if he makes the final roster. But if it's an actual starter we're talking about...Rabach. He sucks hard, cutting him saves a bit on cap room and we should be able to find a replacement.

Sellers, Im not over that goal line fumble.

Pro bowls are just a popularity contest anyway. And it was at FB lol. We could easily get someone younger and cheaper.

LMAO! funniest thing that I've ever read on here.

But if I could release one starter, I choose Smoot because he gets beat like a bad ass child.

And technically, he is a starter at the nickelback position with so many teams with 3 and 4 wr sets.

Well, only a 3rd of the voting is by fans. You don't think Sellers was deserving of the pro-bowl? I absolutely think he was.

I personally think the "fumble" in question was a TD btw....

Yeah maybe I'm being too hard on Sellers. Shaun Suisham then.

I'll go with Goat. That sounds about right.

I'm confident that if you give others the chances, they will perform better than ARE. It's not hard to be more productive than he is. He is only our 2nd best wr due to lack of opportunity. Hackett, Williams, Washington, even Thrash could all put up ARE numbers if given the opportunity.

more wide receivers than tight ends at a gay bar

Re: Release Him!!!
 

I'd love to cut ARE. He's just not a good #2.

Re: Release Him!!!
 

It's been said before, but I'd go Thrash or Rabach. Although I think the fanbase are the only people that have a problem with him apparently. Oh and for a second I thought this was a thread about releasing Chad Johnson. LOL.
