[Red_One43]

As of yesterday's (Wednesday) weigh-in, both Hank and ey are on the roster. Both are 6 pounds heavier than last year's weights.

Well, if it were me, I'd only want to play for the Skins, even if it meant taking a slightly less lucrative deal. And I could never play for another NFC East team. I'm actually surprised more pro athletes don't reject playing for certain teams.

Those days are looooooong gone my friend.. like Yup said it's really just a business now.

Shout outs to Stephen Jackson in St. Louis who is redoing his contract to make sure he'll retire a Ram. He knows he'll never get a SB with them but he doesn't care. Good for him!!!

Those days are looooooong gone my friend.. like Yup said it's really just a business now.

So you would play for the Cowpies, and try your best to beat the Redskins twice a year? I'm just sayin'.

I'm sooo confused by that, what did I say to get you thinking that?

I added back the original quote. Does that clear it up?

of course we as "fans" would say that bro. We're talking about athletes who aren't playing for their favorite teams DS.

*heavier? Wow.. so much for those "early reports"

[riggofan]

hah. I can't really tell if you're serious about this or not, but I'm not sure why it would be surprising. You're telling me you would rather play for the Redskins for $2 million this year than for the Cowboys for $5 million???

Yeah, I don't think so.

Maybe Hightower would take the $2 Mill because he grew up a Redskin fan but I think other players would be like.. "seeeee ya DC". lol

Yes, that's what I'm telling you.
Of course, I'd have my agent try to use the Cowpie offer to get more from the Skins. But I would never play with a star on my helmet.

Yeah it really is surprising more players don't take that position.

Well, your scenario is way too extreme. There's no way only two teams would want you, where one wants to pay $3 million more than the other. If I had to leave the Skins to work, I would insist on going to an AFC team, and if I ever played the Skins, I would want to do my best against them so they would want to get me back.

Chris ey: "I'm running at full speed right now. I feel much better with the way my body's working. Better than the last couple years."

Grant Paulsen‏@granthpaulsen

Chris ey: "I feel good. I have no concerns." When asked if he was 100%? "Yeah. My injuries from last year are feeling much better, yes."

Grant Paulsen‏@granthpaulsen

ChrisCooley said his knee's not having any 'issues' right now. Says hes no't spending time in training room. Participated this AM. #Redskins

Doesn't look likes like ey is ready to play.

Can't say the same for Jamaal Brown and Tanard Jackson.

HogsHaven.com‏@HogsHaven

Via the Redskins, 3 Redskins start training camp on active PUP list: Jammal Brown, Tanard Jackson, Tristan Davis

[Red_One43]

Interesting tweet by Hank. Not what he said, but what he didn't say - "... do our thang."

HogsHaven.com‏@HogsHaven

Where you at? RT @HankTime85 Goodluck to all my boys starting up with camp, do y'all thang

[langleyparkjoe]

Does that means he's on his way OUT????

[Red_One43]

Rich Campbell‏@Rich_Campbell

Right tackle Jammal Brown was the only player not at today's walkthrough. We'll ask Mike Shanahan about it after the pm practice. #Redskins

This at least accounts for Hank at the am walkthrough. Does this am practice eliminate players chances for the active PUP or is the evening practice the determing factor?

[Red_One43]

:D

Does that means he's on his way OUT????

Not so fast LPJ:

Doesn't sound like HIghtower will. Hankerson most likely will but did not talk to him today.

by Rich Tandler 1:51 PM

Tandler spoke to Hhightower who admits not being 100%, but since Hank was at the walkthrough, he expects him to practice, but ....

[langleyparkjoe]

That's what I get for rejoicing so early.

[Red_One43]

Hey LPJ, I don't want to be accused of reading into your posts, but it sounds like you don't like Hankerson.

[Red_One43]

Rich Campbell‏@Rich_Campbell

WR Leonard Hankerson is in pads/shells and practicing, as expected. #Redskins

John Keim‏@john_keim

Hankerson is going thru individual drills, making cuts at full speed... #redskins

No PUP for Hank!

[Red_One43]

1) Hankerson will not be ready to start this season. Worse, there seem to be indications that he may not heal fully to play without risk of serious re-injury.

Hank is ready! Let's hope that he doesn't experience any problems the rest of the way.

2) ey, it seems as if that nagging injury is not going away either.

ey - Too early to tell, but at least he is on the field and he is saying the knee is 100%.

Hankerson definitely might be out but ey's health situation (and his cap number) are still under consideration.

Hank in. ey's salary? Too early to tell what the Redskins are willing to pay. The first concern is at what level can he play.

Let the competition at WR and TE begin!

I hear you. I have sen the reports myself as well. Hank really wants to play. We will see if he lasts. I hope he does.

ey can say anything he wants. He is still a question mark on many people's minds.

Training Camp will not lie in both cases. I am hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.

The strange thing here is that the focus has been on ey and Hank because not much info was coming out about their known injury issues, but the guy who ends up on the PUP is Brown who had the most info, and positive at that, coming out.

I enjoyed the thread. Definitely gave us something to talk about during the waning weeks of the boring offseason.

*heavier? Wow.. so much for those "early reports"

Redskins.con lists ey at 237#, Hank at 205#. I don't think that is heavier than last yr.
