Seriously? Hightower? He was with the team for all of three or four games.
I liked him before we signed him, goes back a way...
I say favourite, he's actually my favourite on offense - Kerrigan, Fletcher, Orakpo, Riley, Jenkins are all uop there, I'm more of a defence guy....
So, did you become a fan when we signed him?
FVck off!
The first game of football I saw was in 1982 and I've loved the Redskins ever since.....
Can I not like players from other teams and be happy when they sign for us...?!?!??!
Whoa there, SLR, this isn't smack. I was just curious, not bustin' on you.
Not bustin' on me...??!?!?
You basically asked if I liked the Redskins because we signed Hightower, thereby inferring I've been a fan for a whole year......
I'm sorry if I offended you. Every year we pick up fans of our latest aquisitions (both players and coaches). I seriously meant nothing by the question.
Don't apologize to this dude, he's prob just getting back from the pub and being mouthy. He needs to go to bed.
Who invited you into the conversation anyway...?!?!? You would know all about being mouthy, wouldn't you...?!? What are you trying to say, that I've been out on the razz all night and just back in from the pub, is that it...!?!?!?
Well, if I wasn't so rat-arsed from being in the pub all night I'd take you into smack.... but I'm lagging so I'm off to bed!!!!!
Looking at the breakdown now, the Redskins have three QBS, four RB/FBs, 8 WRs, 9 OL, 4 TE, 6 DL, 9 LBs, 9 DBs and 3 specialists. They can cut another tight end and defensive linemen and need to make only one more move — if they don’t add another player.
RB Tim Hightower
WR Terrence Austin
RB Tristan Davis
QB Jonathan Crompton
C Erik Cook
CB Brandyn Thompson
CB David Jones
OT Tom Compton
OT Willie Smith
CB Travon Bellamy
OL Grant Garner
LB Bryan Kehl
LB Brian McNally
DE Doug Worthington
DL Delvin Johnson
DL Marlon Favorite
LB Donnell Holt
DL Darrion Scott
FB Dorson Boyce (note: this is not official, but I was told it would be eventually as he has an injury and a settlement is being discussed. He’s a potential practice squader).
S Tanard Jackson (suspended)

Does that mean our back up OT will be release by some other team today?
Practice Squad guy. Shanahan's famous quote is that it's a 61 man roster.
PS players can't help you on game day when one or two of your OTs go down.
Rich Campbell@Rich_Campbell
So Armstrong tweets that he's no longer a Redskin and wishes Dez Briscoe luck. But don't expect Redskins to announce final roster for hours.
John Keim@john_keim
With Armstrong out, the #Redskins are at 53, including Dez Briscoe. he says he hasn't been officially told. but calls are 4 those who r cut.

That's why you have players who can play multiple positions to get through a game on an emergency basis. Then call up a guy for the following week(s).

53 as of right now!
Specialists
In (3): P Sav Rocca, LS Nick Sundberg, PK Billy Cundiff
This was set earlier this week when Neil Rackers and Graham Gano were released and Cundiff was signed.
Defense
Defensive backs
Cornerback (4): DeAngelo Hall, Josh Wilson, Cedric Griffin, Richard Crawford
Safety (5): Brandon Meriweather, Madieu Williams, DeJon Gomes, Reed Doughty, Jordan Bernstine
The suspension of Tanard Jackson, who would have been one of the top three safeties, helped Bernstine land a spot. It is still somewhat odd that they are keeping four corners and five safeties and this is one of those areas where further moves could be made.
Linebackers
Outside (5): Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Rob Jackson, Chris Wilson, Markus White
Inside (4): London Fletcher, Perry Riley, Lorenzo Alexander, Keenan Robinson
It was thought to be a battle between Wilson and White for the last roster spot but it turns out that both of them made it and Bryan Kehl was shown the door.
Defensive line
In (6): Stephen Bowen, Jarvis Jenkins, Adam Carriker, Kedric Golston, Barry Cofield, Chris Baker
Offense
Running backs (4): Roy Helu Jr., Evan Royster, Darrell Young, Alfred Morris
The shocker of the day was the release of Tim Hightower. It was thought that the team would wait out until his knee, injured last October, got close to 100 percent.
Tight ends (3): Fred Davis, Niles Paul, Logan Paulsen
No drama here after Chrisey was released on Tuesday.
Wide receivers (7): Pierre Garçon, Leonard Hankerson, Josh Morgan, Santana Moss, Aldrick Robinson, Brandon Banks, Dez Briscoe
Banks will be more of a kick returner than a wide receiver so there are really six here. Briscoe beat out Anthony Armstrong for the last spot. Most thought Briscoe was the superior receiver during training camp and the preseason but there was a chance that Armstrong’s special teams play could keep him on the roster.
Quarterbacks
In (3): Robert Griffin III, Rex Grossman, Kirk Cousins
Rex Grossman was never, ever in any danger of being cut.
Offensive line
In (9): Trent Williams, Kory Lichtensteiger, Will Montgomery, Chris Chester, Tyler Polumbus, Josh LeRibeus, Jordan Black, Adam Gettis, Maurice Hurt
While none of the individual names here is a surprise the overall number is. The Redskins have kept eight offensive linemen the last two years. But they did get burned to an extent last year when a rash of injuries hit the line.

Forgot Hurt played at tackle fit a game.
Still doesn't make me feel any better.
I hear you. But, look at it like this. Maybe the coaches really like what they saw out of Compton and are more confident that they can get him on their PS rather than releasing a more talented player at another position.
The Redskins officially announced their roster cuts:
WR Anthony Armstrong
WR Terrence Austin
DB Travon Bellamy
FB Dorson Boyce (Injured)
T Tom Compton
C Erik Cook
QB Jonathan Crompton
RB Tristan Davis (Injured)
NT Marlon Favorite
C Grant Garner
LB Donnell Holt
NT Delvin Johnson
LB Brian McNally (Waived with injury settlement)
TE Richard Quinn
T Willie Smith
CB Brandyn Thompson
LB Markus White
DE Doug Worthington
RB Tim Hightower
CB David Jones
LB Bryan Kehl
DL Darrion Scott
The team also announced that it has placed exempt DE Kentwan Balmer on the Reserve/Left Squad list.
Safety Tanard Jackson has been suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse. His suspension is effective immediately.
