Maurice Hurt said he has been signed to the #Redskins practice
squad

That's 4 to the PS.
So, 2 more, right ?

We get 8 PS spots right? So should be 3 more slots...

 

[Fear The Spear]

Sorry, I was thinking 6 PS spots.

Still - using up a PS spot on Robinson makes little sense to me, when we already have 8 receivers on the roster.

 

[Boone]

I think we'd have to assume there's something in the works with some of those 8 WRs...so it may make sense when the dust settles...

Veteran guard Derrick Dockery has signed a 1 year deal with the Cowboys. They know him well from his 2 stints with Redskins

This is good for Dock, bad for us. He really fits with the Cowboys OL style I think and will make more than just a solid backup for Kozar, who is the Cowboys best lineman but has become injury prone.

Royster and Worthington have been signed to the practice squad.

Thanks, BB.

Another sign the Merriweather signing was a bad one - Chester Taylor was also signed by the Bears as a FA for 4 years, $12.5M. They are not the best judgement of personnel.

From NFL Analyst Lance Zierlein - one of the better guys out there:

Yes, but there is something going on behind the scene there RT @StashMusial: @lancezierlein surprised meriweather was cut?

Usually when something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

I'm glad we passed on Merriweather.

Wasn't he one of the guys a couple of years ago that was getting fined on a weekly basis for leading with his helmet on tackles?

He also got suspended at Miami for kicking another player in the head. I seem to remember another guy who did that, who the Redskins signed, and it didn't turn out to well. Hmmmm. Can anyone help me out?

 

[Bulldog]

Yeah, but here we are talking about a guy on a one year deal at a position of immediate need. No big bonus, no promises.

And a guy with proven character issues in a year when the team has made it a point to dump those sort of guys and acquire guys of high character. I get what you are saying BD but it isn't like this team is Safety depth sort of a deep playoff run.

Donte Stallworth and Buchanon have had some issues. Phillip is now suspended by the NFL and yet we kept him on the active roster.

wtf happened with selvish? guy was a first day draft talent on most boards, I thought we were getting a steal of he could add strength, this is one of those things where i wish i had more access lol.

we should sign Philip hunt, the fecals dumped him because he is a pure pass rusher and undersized to play in the 4 front, he is however decent size to play in our lb corps.

I dont understand why we arent more active signing young guys who have been cut at least for a look. and remember in the post draft thread I said some guys would make it simply because they had no competition? lol hello Neild.

Not to mention that hard-on that all the Skins fans got, after seeing this over-hyped video on him
