Some mock ups of the 53 had Rob being the odd man out... I guess getting better and adding depth means u start cutting good players. Ill never forget the INT to seal the deal vs the pukes and win the NFC East crown in 2012!

I haven't heard of any of those people outside of Rob Jackson. The name Adrian Robinson sounds vaguely familiar, though it doesn't quite ring a bell. He may have been spotlighted making a block on special teams or something. Good luck to your future, Rob Jackson! I hope you get signed with another team, and make some more game-winning INTs.

Someone will snatch Rob up... And will be rewarded with quality play.
This was a great situation for the REDSKINS to be in. Sucks, though, when you have to cut quality.

What was the story with Rob Jackson btw? He had tested the FA market this spring and ended up resigning here?

Is Adrian Robinson a possible practice squad guy? He's one of the few guys on that list that stood out over those three preseason games.

It seems like that's why we cut him now, to give him the best chance to find a good spot. The only risk in doing that is injuries, but it was the decent thing to do if the coaches had decided.

G Adam Gettis (thank god)
CB Bryan Sheppard
on the list per my redskins text updates

I'm shocked by the Rob Jackson cut. He's been nothing but solid when he's been in the game and I thought he and Murphy would have the backup spots locked up. A better all-around LB than Orakpo in my opinion, just not as good of a pass rusher. He'll do well elsewhere.

Who bumped him off the depth chart? I'm not that familiar with our OLB depth.

Trent Murphy

I think it's as simple as 1. He is nowhere near as good as orakpo (so wasn't gonna start in place of him) and 2. He didn't play special teams. If even one of those things were different, I bet he's still here. His replacement is probably a combo of inside guy that plays teams and Trent Murphy?

Not to mention the fact that he was a free agent over the summer and no one signed him. That tells me he is not as great as some make him out to be. He was a career backup on some very bad/mediocre defenses and made a few plays in 14 games when he subbed for Orakpo. That does not scream irreplaceable to me. And he doesn't play special teams.

McGlynn, Rashad Ross WR, and Matt Veldman TE.

[cowboykillerzRGiii]

Ty sir..
Ross isnt a surprise, but he showed some speed on his back to back big plays.. punt return followed by big catch and run. Wonder if he goes to ps or gets picked up

[FLWSkin]

McGlynn kinda surprised me.

[tribeofjudah]

I think COMPTON takes 1 of the LB spots....

[KazooSkinsFan]

McGlynn kinda surprised me.

I agree on that. I wouldn't have been surprised if he was in the last round. I guess there are guys they want to evaluate more.

Really disappointed that we cut Rob Jackson. He seemed like an upgrade over Orakpo at points during RG3's rookie year.

Nice try but fail!!!!!!

that's just not true - maybe you felt like that but most people with any sense at all did not

[FLWSkin]

People always mention the 2 or 3 ints that Jackson had to point to the fact he is sooo much better than Orakpo, but fail to mention those were about the only plays he made.

I see my work here was done before I got here.

[FLWSkin]

Don't get me wrong, appreciate his play when he took over for Brian, he worked hard and all that, but people acting like this is the stupidest thing we could have done is a little over the top.
