The Redskins have been the busiest team in the NFL signing both unrestricted and restriced free agents – 14 of them in fact. They re-signed veteran Tre Johnson, as well as re-signing OL Wilbert Brown and Alex Sulfsted. They added Trung Canidate via a trade with the Rams. At the time of this story’s release, … Read more
We’re three days into free agency and the Redskins have already taken drastic steps towards fielding a playoff contender for 2003. With many holes to fill, it was uncertain how the Redskins would go about filling their needs in the offseason. Apparently the answer is… quickly. Day one of free agency saw the Redskins first … Read more

Last year’s season for the Redskins was both disappointing – and tantalising – in equal measures. The ‘Fun and Gun’ went 7-9, which represented a step back from the 8-8 record posted by the ‘Marty Ball’ team of the year before. However there were encouraging signs down the stretch which give hope (which springs eternal … Read more

Of the Redskins Restricted Free Agents, TE Zeron Flemister was the only player that needed to be retained and he was already re-signed.

1. Imagine the Ugliest Streaker Can you imagine the ugliest possible streaker running in slow-motion, across your front lawn, and not being able to take your eyes off the action. I’m talking about a freakish sight here. Something like Danny DeVito and Rosie O’Donnell, butt-naked, trotting hand-in-hand, while holding pink poodles. Now imagine you are … Read more
RUSHING: The Redskins had another solid day on the ground with over 150 yards rushing between Ladell Betts and Kenny Watson. Once again the rookie RB’s split the load evenly carrying the ball 17 times each. Watson had 58 yards and a touchdown while Betts added 98 yards. Unfortunately Betts fumbled the ball going into … Read more
RUSHING: My first five quarter awarding since The 5th Quarter’s inception. Sure it was against the expansion Houston Texans, but when you have two running backs gain over 100 yards in the same game, there is little choice.

Too much praise? Maybe – but I don’t think so. Ramsey is tough, a word seldom used in … Read more
With the Redskins’ season being ostensibly over like it is, and drawing near the Christmas holiday, I thought that a break from the rigors of a non-playoff season was in order. For those of you regulars to The Cheap Seats, you will see that this is not the normal stuff. Christmas has always been my … Read more
