Yes but now his release acts as a warning, a message to other players. This one act may be more valuble than anything he coud do on the field.

Found this under "news and notes" in July 2 Washington Post

The Washington Redskins released tight end Kevin Ware, five days after he was arrested for public intoxication in Houston. Ware, 23, was one of seven tight ends on the roster and would have had to overcome long odds to make the team even before his legal problems arose. Ware was an undrafted player from the University of Washington signed by the Redskins last year. He made the team unexpectedly, shifted between the active roster and the practice squad and made one start. . . .

I guarentee if Arrington or one of our other premier players did that. No harm no foul. He's trash and he was getting cut anyways.

I agree, Daseal. All it meant was he spent a few weeks less with the team than he would have otherwise. At least one more, and possibly two more, TE's will go before the season. No way Ware was going to stay with the crop of TE's they have accumulated.

Agreed. JG has put up with unacceptable behavior before, ie Dexter Manley & Tony Stewart. But, both of these guys, I think, are viewed by Gibbs as good people beneath their outward actions. Ware on the otherhand, was deemed indispensible, so why not make an example out of him?

Reports said (and Crisp confirmed, I think) that Ware looked out of shape and slow in minicamp. Now he gets in the papers with a drunk and disorderly. Of course Gibbs cut his ass imediately. What, he's gonna keep Ware around after all his talk about character?

Sure, you might make an exception with a great player (ie, Dexter Manley), but this punk? It's a no-brainer.

See ya, Kevin.

I think he could have won the starting H-Back spot this season, too bad we cut him. Mark my words, future pro bowler

No way. Did nothing great. Just an average (barely) player.

Heh, just realized I have a pretty big typo in one of my earlier posts up there. :doh:
