According to NFL.com the Panthers are probably gonna cut Stephen Davis in the next week. Do we have a use for him? I'd be willing to sign him at a league minimum. Any thoughts on where he might end up? Does he have gas left in the tank?

no, he doesn't, he hit the wall, he's always been injury prone and its a wasted roster spot... plus he still thinks the skins did him wrong by not giving him 10mill a year.
We hit on this a few weeks ago

I think the answer is still a big fat no. He doesn't have much left.

I'm not sure where you're getting the 10mil a year from. It seems a bit of a stretch that he wanted 10mil a year, when he had just restructured his deal, the season before he was cut, to help create cap room for the team. That deal was about 6.5mil a year. When he was cut, he settled on a a deal with Carolina, for about 3mil a year. That's a pretty big step down from 10mil a year.
As far as him coming back to Washington; I don't think he has enough left in the tank to be productive.

it was the headline when spurrier decided to say no thanks.
6.5 would have been way too much too.

I much as I liked Davis when he was a Redskin and feel he should retire a Redskin, I dont think he has a place on this team. we have Betts as the back up and Broughton will play a bigger role this year on short yardage, and if he plays well could get a few carries during the games.

The $10mill figure comes from the 9 year/ $90million contract he signed in 2000.

That ships sailed. He's done. he can't play anymore. It's a waste of a roster spot...
The short yardage back the skins should try and aquire is TJ Ducket who Atlanta is shopping in trade right now. He can probably be had for a mid to low round draft choice.
Sean Taylor is God

he's good in short yardage, but we dont have the space or money for a move like that. we have much more pressing issuses than rb. davis is done.
