Jabar Gaffney told 106.7 the Fan today that the Redskins have told him not to show up to workouts and that they are trying to trade him. Gaffney led the Redskins in 2011 in receptions, TDs, and yards last year. So why? Well, Jabar is due $2.65 million next year according to beat writer Grant [...]
Yesterday, the Redskins agreed to terms with veteran free safety Madieu Williams. Williams, born in Sierra Leone, moved to Maryland at the age of 9 and attended Towson and the University of Maryland for his collegiate education/career. Madieu Williams is one of the few players in the NFL that may be better known for the good he’s [...]
Today, the Redskins were add and retain some depth on the offensive and defensive lines. Kedric Golston was resigned today as a reserve on the defensive side of the ball, while the Redskins went out and signed free agent tackle James Lee. Lee, not a typical starter, comes from the Bucs and was an essential [...]
The long awaited release of the new ‘Elite 51′ NFL jerseys was today in NYC. In a word, I would say it was ‘underwhelming’. They look pretty much exactly the same, minus the collar which uses their patented Nike Flywire material. The optimistics have said despite the lack of change, the jerseys do, at least, look [...]
Today marks the beginning of a 5-year contract between Nike and the NFL. Many have speculated whether or not drastic changes would be made to the uniforms, or just a different sports apparel logo.. According to WTOP, Nike will be getting rid of the Native American head logo and will replace it with a headdress [...]
There will likely be two RG3s heading into training camp for the Redskins this year. Robert Griffin III and Rex Grossman III. I, myself, do not understand this move.

This past Friday it was announced that the Redskins had agreed to a 1-year deal worth up to $2.5 million with former Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin. While it can be hard to find useful statistics on cornerbacks, there are a couple of things I know. He played opposite of Antoine Winfield, so he was never covering the number [...]
The Redskins have reportedly signed former Patriots/Bears safety, Brandon Meriweather, to a 2-year $6 million deal. Meriweather was a star for the Patriots, going to the Pro Bowl in 2009 and 2010, but was unable to crack the starting lineup for the Bears. Given that the former 1st round pick is only 28, I really like this [...]
The Redskins were quick to get to work when free agency first began, signing two new young receivers, as well as locking Adam Carriker up on the defensive line. Since those first few hours, however, not much happening. They were pursuing Eddie Royal, but that has stalled and Royal is visiting San Diego right now. [...]
Previous reports of Eddie Royal inking with the Redskins were inaccurate. The two parties have been meeting, but no deal, yet. It was reported that Eddie Royal, Mike Shanahan, and Bruce Allen were seen having dinner together at Morton’s. One worry I have is that Eddie Royal is going to see the two receivers DC [...]
