That doesn't matter. If you are going to add a player to your 53, you can pick them up off anybody's PS; it doesn't have to be your own.


I know that, but that isn't what I was talking about. You are correct on what you said, but our players that we release today, that we want back, could be sign with another team's ps. They don't have to come back to ours. The only way we could get them back then would be to sign them to our 53 and that would only be of they wanted to comer back.

In other words once we release them they are FAs.

Obviously, but I don't know of any players who wouldn't come back to an active roster just to spite the team that waived them. In other words, unless a player signs on to another team's active roster, we can always get them back if we are willing to sign them to ours.

I'm glad they kept the WR's. =)

I pick Stallworth over AA because on my list I had 3 young WR's and I was going with Vets, and I just believe that Donte can be inactive for 3 games straight and can answer the call if needed.

I expect the roster to be fluid early. Especially when Buchanon is back.

When James Davis was on our ps last year her had a chance to sign with Carolina's 53 and didn't because he thought the opportunities were better here. Of course that didn't work out too well for him!

And that call mostly likely is to be traded when some unfortuante receiver goes down. I don't think they kept 8 receivers with the intention of keeping 8 for the duration of the season somebody has got to go. It might not be Donte, but somebody is going.

Assuming we stay with 8, which I doubt, we still have multiple rookies and two return men so he still could play. As the season goes on it probably depends how fast the coaches want the rookies to play. I personally think he's better then AA anyway. We'll see.

So? If Carolina had offered him a contract to join their active roster, you don't think he would have taken it? There is an advantage to having a player on your PS as opposed to another team's. You not only get to train him the way you see fit (ie in your system), but you also get to keep tabs on his progress. But that still doesn't stop teams from raiding other's PSs.

There is an age old adage that you get the ball in your playmaker's hands often. When he gets healthy, I expect to see Banks used more with the offense. You saw Shanny tinkering with him in the wildcat last year. For now, he is a specialist.

It's anyone's guess, but I would expect someone whom has potential to land on PS might be released. Just a guess, but our numbers suggest someone is still on the bubble. All in all, I think our draft proved to be a good one at this point with the number of rookies that made it.

Having a specialist is the only reason to keep six receivers much less eight

So much happens in the NFL in four weeks. Injuries, reassessments based on performance. It may seem like "only" a month, but who knows what'll happen then. The least likely outcome would actually be that the decision is made as if it were made today.

Final word on this from the coach directly:

Shanahan said he didn’t take Banks into account when considering which receivers the team should carry on its 53-man roster. Instead, Redskins coaches see Banks – who this preseason returned a punt 95 yards for a touchdown and ran back a kickoff 58 yards -- as a specialist, one who is too valuable to risk by playing him at multiple positions.

“I don’t look at Brandon [Banks] as a receiver – he’s a returner,” Shanahan said. “I thought he did such a great job in punt returns and kick returns that it would be silly not to dress him on game day. I think he’s a difference maker out there, but he will be a specialty.”

You didn't read my post, did you?

Last year, the Panthers wanted to sign Davis to their active roster (their 53), but he chose to start on our ps.

Just because a team wants a guy on your ps it doesn't mean they can just take him, he has to agree to go. Now most players would jump at the chance to go to a tam that is offering them a spot on their active 53, but obviously they don't always, because Davis didn't last year.

I'm sure if there is one we know of there are plenty we don't.

I remember this, for what it's worth. Not sure if it was Carolina, but I remember him choosing to join the PS over going to some team's 53-man roster. He said the Redskins presented a better opportunity.

+ 1 to both of you.

NE might regret letting Brandon Tate go if they see him returning KOs for TDs in Cincy.
