I was hoping he's stick, just because he's so damned tough.

Another player... in the dark ages, he would make the 53.

Looks like we kept Jose Gumbs over Gnomes(SP?). Gotta wonder if they are expecting to get Tanard back. Also, Pat White still on the roster for now. I was also shocked about Chase. Good problem to have when a quality guy can't make it. Gotta wonder though if we are going to try to get Winnfield. Tried to get him before he went to Seattle.

Two suprises to me....Minnifield getting cut....and Pat White is still here. White is less of a suprise than is Minnifield to me...

Briscoe is going to get a 2nd opinion on his shoulder in Dallas. I think he's either IR'd or released. Don't understand why they didn't keep Lance Lewis. He was a big target and made some nice ST tackles.

cowboykillerzRGiii · Post by **cowboykillerzRGiii** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 5:02 pm

I think we may see a keep white release Minnifield- ps Minnifield (yes big in here becuase we have been watching him, and hopiing, doubt he eoesnt clear waivers especially winnfield drawing the cb attention) until we TRADE white to a team who is in dire straights for a qb... Jets? After we TRADE him we can sign back Chase.
Brilliant!

I imagine they are hoping someone will make them an offer.

Isn't he PS eligible?

I have a feeling they are going with five WR fur a change and are going to stash a couple of WRs on the PS.

Hopefully, Chase makes it through to the PS, but I seriously doubt he isn't signed to another teams 53 man.

With all the young depth and chases injury, I doubt he draws the attention WE think he will.. he went undrafted afterall. The cut would raise eyebrows to why we let him go aswell. I'm not to worried. Ya its possible, but I think this was well thought out for all outcomes. We shall see. A third rounder for pat would be #titties!

I was pretty frustrated about Minnefield (sp). That said, I think we can get him on our PS.

Nick Williams, Lewis, and Dawson being cut was sad to see...was expecting at least one of them to be on the roster. That said, they'll probably be on the PS too.

Keeping Biggers over Chase makes no sense to me.

Controversial I know, but I'm tired of Royster`s ups and downs. Was really hoping Keiland Williams would take his spot.

We still have 10 DB's I'd be surprised if we tried to resign Chase. We have 4 QB's, 6 WR's & 9 LB's left. I think the last 2 cuts will come from these 3 positions.

I will get some hate for this one but I can't resist.

I know he's older and we are focused on developing our own talent, but what's you guys thoughts on talking with Antoine Winfield again?

10 or 9 DB's left? I'd be surprised as well if we didn't cut a QB.

I read somewhere today that he retired.

I'd love to see Nick Williams and Chase make it to the PS.

Looks like we're going to really run the ball this year. Speaking of which, I'm surprised the Keiland was released.

So was I, but I guess that he showed enough in the last game to get the last RB spot.

I read a Tweet that the decision came down to Chase's depth and his special teams contribution. Murphy supposedly was better with special teams. The hope is that he gets on the PS so he would actually get more practice time than where he'd be on the depth chart.

Just repeating what I heard, can't verify its validity.

That said, I don't think he's going to be picked up by another team. I think we'll get him back on our PS.

Most significant move: Keeping four quarterbacks with back-from-the-dead Pat White making the roster. Anyone who saw White throw early in spring workouts would not have predicted this scenario. But White, who has been out of the NFL the past three seasons, improved throughout the summer and the coaches genuinely liked what they saw. One coach predicted earlier in the week that he would be on someone’s roster. White showed he can still run and mastered the slant routes and digs. He still needs to work on finesse throws and prove he can make throws into tight windows over the middle, but his improvement was noticeable.

However, keeping four is still a lot. But with Kirk Cousins nursing a sprained right foot and with Robert Griffin III not having played in the preseason, the Redskins might just keep White around for the first couple of games. They have roster exemptions for end Jarvis Jenkins and linebacker Rob Jackson, both suspended for the first four games, so they could make this sort of move. If Griffin and Cousins both stay healthy, it’s hard to see this being a long-term situation. Still, White made big strides after a rough start.

The Redskins also opted to keep running back Evan Royster, who perhaps saved his job with a strong preseason finale at Tampa Bay. He's one of five running backs along with speedy rookie Chris Thompson.

Gone, but not yet forgotten: The Redskins would like to re-sign a number of their released players to the practice squad, including Chase Minnifield, Nick Williams, Tevita Stevens, Will Compton and tight end Emmanuel Ogbuehi, among others. Minnifield’s release was a surprise, given how the coaches talked about him during camp and his physical style in press coverage -- and with the loss of corner Richard Crawford. But the coaches liked corner Jerome Murphy’s physical style as well – and his special teams ability. Williams is an intriguing prospect as a slot receiver and punt returner. Ogbeuhi is a raw prospect who needs to spend a year or two on the practice squad.

Safety DeJon Gomes, a fifth-round pick in 2011 and opening day starter in 2012, did not progress in coverage. Though he was better in the box, the Redskins have Brandon Meriweather and Reed Doughty ahead of him at strong safety. And they opted for Jose Gumbs, signed right before camp, as a swing safety.

The Redskins also placed offensive lineman Maurice Hurt on the reserve/physically unable to perform list. The tough cut? Receiver Dez Briscoe. According to a league source, Briscoe would have made the roster had he not injured his shoulder in the preseason finale.

What's next: The Redskins next big moves will occur after Week 4 when Jenkins and Jackson return from their four-game suspensions. At that point end Phillip Merling could be in trouble, along with, possibly White, simply because it would be unusual to keep four quarterbacks all season.

The Redskins lack experienced depth along the offensive line and could always use more help at safety. So if anyone intriguing clears waivers, the Redskins would be interested. They also retain the rights to suspended safety Tanard Jackson, who is now eligible for reinstatement. However, it could take a while for the NFL to grant his return -- if they give it to him at all.

Redskins cuts: RB: Keiland Williams, Jawan Jamison, RB Tristan Davis (from exempt/left squad list). WR: Skye Dawson, Nick Williams, Lance Lewis, Dez Briscoe (designated as injured). OL: Tevita Stevens, Tony Pashos, Kevin Matthews, Xavier Nixon. TE: Emmanuel Ogbuehi. DL: Chigo Anunoby, Dominique Hamilton, Ron Brace. DB: DeJon Gomes, Chase Minnifield LB: Vic So’oto, Will Compton, Marvin Burdette.
