The Redskins Edition of Where are They Now?

With so little news of the Redskins this offseason, I think it's time we took a look at where some former Redskins either are, or might be, landing.  The following names are just a few... and have been in the news this week.

First up, everyones favorite head-butting quarterback: that's right sports fans, Gus "I knocked myself out of a starting QB job in Washington because I played head-butt-chicken with a concrete wall and lost" Frerotte.  


I'm not even sure this is him... but this is how I like to remember him. (Image from here.)

Well, at least I spelled his name right.  Anyway, Frerotte signed a "multi-year" deal with the Minnesota Vikings.  He is there to puch Tavaris Jackson... and replace him, if necessary.  Let's just hope the Vikings protect their investment and put padding up on all the walls behind each end zone.  Wouldn't want to see a valuable commodity go to waste because of a heat-of-the-moment decision, which could negatively effect the franchise for years to come.  Good luck to you, Gus.

Next up, Sage "Skin Patrol overpaid for my rookie card online" Rosenfels.


Come on, you knew I had to show it.

Anyway, the Texans aqpparently would like to trade Sage, and a team that had been interested, the Vikings, just signed Frerotte.  Interesting dilemna.  And then add to that the fact that the Texans just signed QB Quinn Gray and you've got yourself a full-blown controversey.

There's also this rumor that Sage might want to be a starter.  I'm not sure why this is news worthy because you could probably say that about every backup QB in the league... well, except for David Carr.  He's in it for the money.

Good luck to you, Mr. Rosenfels.  May you thrive and prosper (and send SP's rookie card value through the roof) wherever you may land.

I saved the best for last.  Remember a CB named Kenny Wright?  No?  Because Pearland police do.  You can't make this type of stuff up.  By the way, Pearland is just south of Houston.  From the article:

Cleveland Browns defensive back Kenny Wright was arrested Thursday after police said he led them on a quarter-mile foot chase that began in the parking lot of the police station.

Yes, it started at a police station parking lot.  Yes, he ran.  Yes, he (an NFL CB) got caught by police (the advocates of the coffee and donuts diet) within a quartermile.  And yes, he had illegals substances on his person (well, in his car... but the "on his person" just sounds so much more... police-y.)  Again, from the article:

"We had people on scene pretty fast and I believe because of our quick response time and the mental and physical toughness of our officers to catch offenders, we were able to get him in custody quickly and safely," Sgt. Roy Castillo said.

Police said they found 1.875 ounces of marijuana in Wright's vehicle.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back there, Sgt. Castillo.  Anyway, all this isn't even the best part.  The best part is his Nick Nolte mugshot.


This is my anti-drug. (Image from here.)

Anyway, that's all I got.  Hit up the comments section.

Given injury concerns at CB
we should consider signing Sgt. Roy Castillo to bolster our secondary.

Oh Kenny Wright... I'd say you've fallen so far, but fallen from what, exactly?

Oh about Rookie Cards
I spent a pretty penny to grab a Ramsey Rookie Autograph card on EBay so you're not the only one to biff on a playa.

I also have a Skins Helmet Signed by said Patrick that I bought the second I saw him in a mall. There was awesome memorabilia everywhere and quickly forgot why I was even at the mall.

You also have a Redskins Encyclopedia
but for some piece of shit who keeps forgetting to mail it to you.

THIS WEEK brother, I will send it out this week. I had a lot going on with law school the past two weeks and it has finally cleared up (as have some financial concerns) so I will find the time to get that to you THIS WEEK.

Anyone
have a guess to why that players on the Redskins never get into this kind of trouble?

From the Redskins Team Sight
"John "JJ" Jefferson is in his fourth year as Director of Player Development with the Redskins. Previously, he spent five years as the Director of Student-Athlete Life at the University of Kansas. A member of the famed "Air Coryell" offense that revolutionized San Diego's passing game, Jefferson played wide receiver for the Chargers in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Known for his acrobatic catches, Jefferson was a four-time Pro Bowler. Jeffeson began his NFL career as a first-round draft choice of the Chargers in 1978 and played under offensive coordinator Joe Gibbs for two seasons. He is a graduate of Arizona State University with a bachelor's degree in history."

Could be a connection with the players and understanding which is better than the other teams as it is mandated by the NFL that every club have this position.

Might've spoke too soon
we just signed Jerome Mathis.

I like to think that some organizations are simply more dedicated to character than others. However, the more likely scenario is that the sample size on NFL players who happen to be criminals is small enough where the really "criminal" teams -- like Cincy -- are just normal statistical white noise. If you have 15-20 bad apples per year, it's not that unlikely that a few of them will end up on the same team, and that some teams won't have any of them on any given year.

Teams can hurt and help themselves the most in the draft and free agency, by avoiding players with questionable histories.
