LaRon Landry has toe surgery [Insider]
He will be ready by camp. Interesting he was asked to stay in DC this off-season to work out and lead by example.

Devin Thomas Responds to Fan [ES]
The comment posted by the Redskins' fan was a great one mentioning Monk and Clark...here's part of DT's response:

...I feel the pain that Redskin Nation has been feeling for the countless years now and im gonna do everything in my power to be a key component to the success of this franchise. This city is my birthplace of my career and my home, i don't plan on leaving but i do plan on bringing joy back to this historic franchise....

Redskins rank dead last in under-25 talent [espn]
WHAT?!?! Well, you need draft picks to have under 25-talent. Cerrato gets blasted in that article, so I'll call off my dogs.

Redskins are also last in NFC East dream team players [Madden 11]
Redskins have to be ranked 1st place in # of toe surgeries with now Landry and Horton, so that's a win!!! This may call for a new t-shirt.

It's so nice that the panic button has been uninstalled from Redskins Park.

I think

He’s screwed us over a lot more than we’d be able to screw him over at this point.

I wish I was his financial advisor or something

I would have told him the wonders of Enron and told him to put all of his life savings in it.

The article doesn't mention it but...

it’s worth remembering that if Vinny had had his way, the picks that brought in Rak and Williams would have been given to Cincy in exchange for Ochocinco. Yup. Thank god their FO was even dumber than ours, and turned us down.

Bored and broke.

And let's not also forget...

Vinny wanted to trade up to the #12 spot with Denver to get Orakpo sooner, which means we would have lost some other pick. Luckily Josh McDaniels wasn’t in the fleecing mood.

McDaniels probably just felt sorry for us.

Trade for Ocho

Was Vinny really going to do that? I don’t really believe it (two “ones”?). You can’t believe a word “NFL sources” say. I think Vinny is often blamed for things he didn’t do.

hard to believe

A first and a third. Was Ochocinco worth anything like that back then? If we’d gotten him, we wouldn’t have drafted DT and MK, and wouldn’t have a WR problem now. Even so, if there were no extra considerations, sounds like a bad trade. Amazing that Cincy turned it down, considering the problems they were having with him. Maybe they are dumber than Vinny.

21st overall in 2008, and a conditional third rounder in 2009 that could reach a first rounder if the redskins and ochocinco reached certain performance levels.

It also said we got turned down for Boldin, don’t recall us actually making an offer though.

The typical drafted player is 21 or 22.

(It is unusual but Capers is already 25.) Given that it takes a couple of years for most of the players coming into the NFL to be ready, that gets the typical players out to 23 to 24. The range of players between 24 and 30 is like a core of players with both youth and experience. With the 2011 off season likely to have a large free agent market of these players in the 25 to 29 range, the Skins could rapidly become in the middle of the pack in average team age.
