Washington Redskins 2009 Cuts Tracker - Final Roster

by Kevin Ewoldt on Sep 5, 2009 12:08 PM EDT in Redskins Events

Update: Colt Brennan placed on IR for the year. Chase Daniel is rumored to not make the team or practice squad.

Well, it's pink slip time.

We'll keep an organized list of cuts as they come in. I think it's safe to say Dave Rayner, Byron Westbrook, Doug Dutch, Trent Shelton, DJ Hackett, Chase Daniel, and Agnone will be seeing their pinks slips. I'm not 100% sold Anthony Alridge is a guaranteed cut after his big fumble. It probably will be the deciding factor, but late in the game they were giving him TONS of touches to redeem himself. I wouldn't be opposed if he did squeak in. He's not going to be returning kicks anyway.

Confirmed Cuts

Note: We originally made this pink slip logo at the end of last year when Jason Taylor was cut and the Redskins were cleaning house doing their salary cap magic, but the picture still applies on some level.

From Wise’s article this morning:

Forget Colt or Chase — yet bless those munchkins’ hearts as they battle for the planet of Endor — this is about whether this team is genuinely ready to play the New York Giants in less than 10 days.

Classic!

Based on the play of the WR corps....

I would have to cut Randel El.
I have been saying this for the past two years…he has to go..
What does Zorn have to lose by cutting him? One td per year and an overweight contract?
Give that slot to Marko or Chase Daniel or someone who deserves it…
The Easterns commercials are solid, but he does NOTHING.
What does he do for this team? What has he done for this team? What WILL he do for this team?

I just want to re-iterate...

That Randel El needs to go….does anyone else see this guy consistently underperform?

by MLHOYA on Sep 5, 2009 9:17 AM EDT reply actions

not possible

He’s signed til 2015 at an average of almost $5 mil a year. would be a MASSIVE cap hit

by Kevin Ewoldt on Sep 5, 2009 9:20 AM EDT up reply actions

not so sure....

good article on the implications of cutting him
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/the-full-carter-and-randle-el.html

….his re-structuring earlier this year seems to leave room for the skins to have window to get out….
Kevin E…cant the 4.4 million cap hit be spread out over the life of the contract to 2015 as it stands now? (730k/yr over remaining 6 yrs)

by MLHOYA on Sep 5, 2009 10:41 AM EDT up reply actions

I think he has been playing out of position.

I have always thought he was a slot receiver (a #3). That would have been fine had Lloyd worked out (or worked at all). He didn’t, he is gone. We have to have someone else step up and then Randle El can find some open space.

I think with the four WRs we have (not knowing who will be the 5th, if any) we should be able to spread the field and allow each of the WRs to play to their own strengths.

ARE 3rd QB?

Could ARE be the 3rd QB

Colt brenan to IR

Redskins insider reporting that this could possibly happen. My guess is they’re trying to keep him and chase on the roster.

NFL radio reported

Colt to IR with torn hamstring. So they keep both QBs, save a roster/practice squad spot. I guess this is a good thing.

ESPN is saying they’re gonna cut Chase.

by superjuan on Sep 5, 2009 12:37 PM EDT up reply actions

this is what I would say....

option 1) take the cap hit
option 2) get less RELATIVE value than what you can get from a rookie or even an open market vet either at the same position or elsewhere on the roster and let him stew on the roster for another season so that a new coach come in in a year and cuts him anyway when he realizes he needs to revamp the position

sometimes, you cut your losses, even if they are massive…decision is easy in my eyes
Take the hit

chase daniels twitter feed

Says he’s been released but if he clears waivers the team will want him back for the practice squad
Practice squad is set 24 hours after final release

I’d like to see Mason on the team. Betts and Cartwright are serviceable backups for Portis but of the 3 Portis is the youngest. Rock and Betts are great but the lifespan of an NFL running back is not long.

I never knew you were a supporter of Mason!?

by bigrm18 on Sep 5, 2009 9:30 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm not actually

I just have a real cool, long sleeve cotton throwback jersey that was originally a Bailey jersey. I removed the name and used it for Springs instead. Now that Springs is gone, I had to be sure we have another 24 on our team.

Oh, well that makes sense then

Roster Cuts

Interesting that they cut a few of their draft choices.

Maybe that shows some maturity from the front office (at least in relation to how it is often portrayed in the media, including here, such that they don’t want to lose face by not keeping their draft picks).

6 CBs (including Byron Westbrook)
4 RBs (including Mason, not Aldridge or Dorsey)

It means they want to put them on the practice roster.

by SSBlitz on Sep 5, 2009 7:27 PM EDT up reply actions

Sure, but everyone has been saying the management is too stubborn to admit they were wrong.

This shows that the team will go by who played better in pre-season or is willing to adjust their thinking based on performance. This is a good sign.

they've gotta be

scouring the waiver wire for O-linemen. The Bridges cut surprised me, and the Burley one a little too. I know neither really distinguished themselves (did Mike Williams?), but that’s a desperate position.

by CJHutch on Sep 5, 2009 7:33 PM EDT reply actions

According to Cerrato

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2009/09/vinny_cerrato_helps_53-man_ros.html

He was fairly definitive when asked if he thought the team would add an offensive lineman after other teams make cuts.

“No, no,” was his exact response. “And I think this, I think with the Montgomerys and Rineharts and Mike Williams and Bridges and stuff, I think you’ve got experienced guys there that’ll, I think, be productive.”

Either Cerrato really isn’t in tune with this team and we’ll go searching for lineman on the waiver list or we’ll be stuck with what we have this year. Does anyone know how Mike Williams made the team because he definitely didn’t earn
a roster spot IMO.

by bigrm18 on Sep 5, 2009 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions

well

your statement just contradicted itself. Or at least Vinny’s did. Rinehart isnt the least bit experienced, and Williams hasn’t been productive since 2005. Montgomery is extremely unproven, and the only thing Bridges has proven in the last two years is that he can shoe a bouncer around. Hope he didn’t burn any bridges (no pun intended), since he may be working as a bouncer soon.

by CJHutch on Sep 5, 2009 9:54 PM EDT up reply actions

That's not my statement

If it were up to me I would say:

“We’re always looking to improve our team in anyway possible. If we feel there are offensive lineman on the waiver list that can be productive for our team we’ll definitely have a look at him and make a decision that best suits the Washington Redskins.”

But that’s how I would say it. Cerrato on the other hand…
