Washington Redskins Plan Major Overhaul?

I heard from several sources that the Washington Redskins, one of the league’s worst teams in the past decade, plan to dump numerous players tonight. A 7 p.m. press conference is expected.

Although new coach Mike Shanahan has said Clinton Portis will be on the team in 2010, he is one name mentioned that could get kicked to the curb. But he is not the only one who could be out of Skin Country. I’ve heard at least five others players could be released, including Rock Cartwright, Randall El Al or whatever his name is, and a couple of other losers on the team.

This leaves Redskins owner Danny Snyder with very few options: start from scratch and get young, quality players in this draft or go freak-wild in free agency. It seems like Snyder still hasn’t figured out how to make a football team successful. The last two drafts made the Skins appear as the second-calling of the Detroit Lions.

Could the Redskins be ready to offer Julius Peppers $100 million, too?

Do they want Karlos Dansby?

Does it really matter? Snyder should have figured out by now that you don’t build a dynasty through free agency; you build it through the draft and you solidify it through free agency. Considering they don’t even have a quality quarterback, I can hardly believe Shanahan, who is no fool, really believes this team can compete in 2010, let alone 2011.

Kevin,
Do you eat w/ that mouth son? What MBIII lives in NoVa, and he should be afraid, of what? You? You are probably sitting in your parents attic, in your underwear, surrounded by Skin's posters (fat me dressed up as hogs)...if a mouse farted you would run and jump in bed w/ your mom and dad...Get a life and go to your own blog, sadly they probably don't want you either!

MBIII,

I'd be concerned if they aren't going HOG wild in free agency. It might be a sign that Allen/Shannahan are having a stablizing effect on the franchise. No salary cap plus competent management means trouble for the Cowboys in the long run.

The great thing about this article that TLH wrote is that none of it is coming true. Dansby is talking to the Dolphins, Peppers is in Chicago talking about a deal. The only player who the Skins are really courting right now is Chad Clifton from the Packers. That might be a smart move on their part.

I suppose the concensus is that the Skins aren't all that close. The team was stuck in a quagmire last year between GM, Owner, and head coach. The worst part of the situation for Jim Zorn was that he was originally brought in to be an offensive coordinator. They bumped him up when no one else wanted the job.

It's like when we drafted Quincy Carter in the 2nd round and expected him to play like a high first rounder. Just because you wish it doesn't make it so.

Shannahan is a good offensive mind and that will be reflected in his team within a year or two. The defense wasn't bad last year or the year before. If they come with a similar effort, and draft QB (I'm not expecting him to play till 2011), OL, and hit on a later round RB, the team has a legitimate chance to be competitive. So they are 2 to 3 players from being competitive.

I'm not a fan of the skins, but I have respect for the talent they put on the field.

LOL..Foreskins fan whistling through the grave yard..Yo dimwits..If you such bad enough you will get a good pick..

Your answer to success is bringing back another QB that sucks..and hiring a I give head coach in Shanahan..

Frigging losers..So blow up the team and Danny Boy will spend another 100 million on Peppers..

Doesn't even matter..Your offense sucks..and Kevin..so do you..

True that.

Peppers visiting with the Bears tomorrow. Chester Taylor too. Those would be two solid moves.

Redskins fans still come to this site?? Do they remember that we beat them 3 in a row? 4-12? when was the last time they had a winning season? Typical redskins fan, check out the nfc east champs site. Sometimes you gotta check out a winning teams site for a change!

Kev, how'd your postseason turn out? You're dumber than sin. What were you doing on Super Bowl Sunday? Your team hadn't played in a month. You seem to be like all the other Redskins fans in thinking that volume defeats logic. You guys always win the Offseason Super Bowl by signing the big name but it never, ever works out for you.

In cutting Todd Collins, it makes it pretty clear that the Skins are going quarterback with their first pick. Bradford or Clausen will get mauled like Campbell did. I can't wait until DeMarcus Ware breaks them. Shefter says that the Peppers deal isn't anywhere near done yet.

Good times to be had tonight. In response to the article, I think the Skin's should drop a ton of dead weight, and despite last year, I still have confidence that Campbell can not only be effective, but good. I was wrong last year, and I'm hoping I'm wrong again this year, but I see him playing at a high level if given time and the necessary talent around him.

Like Romo, he gets too much blame and too much credit, for the brief periods when they were doing well.

I don't think Snyder + Shannahan is a good combination. I think Snyder will push for high priced veterans, and Shannahan will draft poorly on defense. Fingers crossed on that one.

Fear your foreskin maybe

MBBITCHEFFECT...Are you one of those little fags who got errect when you beat the Saints? I bet you were...And how did your post season turn out? What were you doing SBsunday. YOU PUNK. I hope that you get your ass kicked in NoVa. You don't deserve to live there. FEAR THE STAR? NO, FEAR THE SKINS.

Now that MBIIIJERSEYSHORE bitched out, who's next?! HAIL SKINS....YOU COWBOY FANS ARE SUCH LITTLE C@#TS.

HAIL, HAIL, HAIL, Thank god Irvin was proven innocent, who else can he rob, rape and snort?

Sure didn't. I'm from NoVa, so I went to the Skins/Saints game and watched Redskins fans in pain as you lost in the most soul-crushing fashion I've ever seen. The best was watching fans take off their jerseys and try to throw them onto the field even though it was a cold day: your fans would rather freeze than wear their jerseys.

Your team is a colossal failure and I can't wait to see them fail again this season.

Yes I know I did...You are retarded and blew Romo last sumemer to try and score opening day tix to your gay little gaudy stadium. YUMMYCUMMY

You just proved my point.

FEAR THE STAR....You QUEER...MBIIIeffect. Nice name...What are you, JERSEY SHORE? FRIGGIN HOMO...HAIL BITCH

THEMBIIIeffect...U must be retarded. I feel bad for you. You type like you are 9 years old. Go play in the sand box. Hail SKINS!

I love that you Redskins fans feel compelled to come over here. You seem to forget that every year, you're the champions of the offseason. Last year, you got Albert Haynesworth, savior of the defense!! How'd that work out, you f*cking putzes? I can't wait until you drop another hundred mil into Pep and he doesn't do sh*t. I was so ready to hear all these Skins fans crowing. I'm going to record some of it so I can play it back at the end of the season when you're down and dejected.

Landrysucks,

Name one good first-round draft pick the Skins have made outside the top 15 that has turned out to be any good. If the Skins don't have a gimme, they whiff hardcore on their draft pick. Even when they do have a gimme draft pick, they can whiff. Carlos Rogers is a chump and Landry got bitched out all season. I really hope you fools draft another quarterback and ruin him by doing nothing with your offensive line.

Kevin-Congratulations on reaching a new level of retarded.

As a Cowboys fan, I am extremely nervous about the SKINS moves. We are going to lose every game to them over the next few years. Fear the star, but the SKINS are making big moves

Last years draft the second coming of the Detroit Lions? Please. Brian Orakpo = rookie Pro Bowler with as many sacks as D. Ware. Who did the Cowboys draft in the first round? Nobody- oh yeah, thats right. They traded it to DETROIT for Roy Williams, who, understandably had a garbage season. Look in the mirror before you throw the Detroit draft analogy around. I'll excuse the assanine comparison as the byproduct of mild retardation.
BREAKING NEWS: Jerry Jones has announced the hiring of his philosophical mentor, Matt Millen, as the teams new general manager.

lol. I cannot stop laughing over this Redskins stuff.

I hope the Skins sign Peppers and sink $200 million into two defensive linemen who are notorious for taking plays/games/seasons off.

Marcus Mason is also gone. It's going to be hard to run without running backs. Let's see if this straregy pays off, Cotton.*

*From Dodgeball, which is underrated as a funny movie because of the commentators. Pepper needs new shorts!

Running backs Rock Cartwright and Ladell Betts, receiver Antwaan Randle El, defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin, cornerback Fred Smoot and right guard Randy Thomas are getting the can, according to this report
