The Washington Football Team added two more players to their roster on Wednesday. Washington announced the signing of cornerback Linden Stephens, and tight end Deon Yelder.
Yelder comes over from the Chiefs, where he’s played since being signed to their practice squad in 2018. He played in 14 games last year for Kansas City, grabbing 7 receptions for 73 yards.
On Monday Washington made two roster changes, releasing wide receivers Jeff Badet and Trevor Davis. The move comes on the heels of Washington selecting two receivers in the draft – Dyami Brown in the fourth round, and Dax Milne at the end of the seventh.
It’s a time honored tradition to rate how a team drafted the day after the draft. None of the players have even signed a contract yet. None of them have played a down of football yet. It is tough to rank much, other than wether or not a team filled some needs, and if their picks met with experts’ opinions.
Washington definitely filled a few needs, and the majority of their selections were considered solid at the position. Their 19th overall pick Jamin Davis, was considered a reach by some, but was climbing many other’s draft boards as well. Third round cornerback Benjamin St-Juste was also ranked a little lower than he was chosen.
The pick is in. With the 19th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Washington selected Jamin Davis out of Kentucky. The 6’3″ 234 pound linebacker is a physically impressive specimen, and is coming off a fantastic season for the Wildcats.
In 2020, he registered 102 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and three interceptions – including one returned for a touchdown. He also had a forced fumble and a blocked field goal – and all in ten games.
No. More. Sleeps.
Every NFL fan’s favorite day of the offseason is here – the NFL Draft.
Roger Goodell has been tested, and found to be COVID free. He has been cleared to offer awkward hugs to everybody. Thank god!
Ereck Flowers is returning to the Washington Football Team after a one year layover in Miami. The two teams agreed to a trade of Flowers and a swap of late round draft picks, in an apparent cap dump move.
The Washington Football Team could really use a left tackle. Perhaps they have been a bit spoiled over the years. Washington may not have dominated the league for the last two decades, but they have always had a great left tackle. And before that?
Washington issued a lovely good luck in your retirement to Alex Smith in a press release last week. They probably thought it would be the last time that they had to issue a press release on the retiring former player. It seemed almost metallic to read at the time. Perhaps it felt that way to the quarterback as well.
Not only did Smith not go gently into that good night, he is the subject of many-to-most of the Washington headlines in the last 24 hours.
A former tight end for the Washington Football Team, and their 3rd round pick in the 2013 Draft, Jordan Reed has announced his retirement. Reed was once considered to be one of the absolute best pass-catching tight ends in all of football.
Bryce Love was released by the Washington Football Team on Monday. He spent two seasons with the team and never played a down. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported that the former Heisman trophy runner-up , will not be back in Washington next season.
