nothing in writing yet. but im very excited to hear this. ive been reading most of the posts based on who should we keep at back. well, i dont think sultan has enough size to run the ball considerably like gibbs wants. i dont think betts can handle the load (he's always injured), i dont think simon has the size. they are all good complements, yet "what if" portis goes down? who has the durability or size to make gibbs offense work? at 6'1" 240, stacy mack would definately fit joe's system and has the size to be somewhat durable, especially after seeing him in jacksonville those couple of years. he did a great job filling in for injury proan taylor. what do you guys think????

I think Mack would have a great impact on the running game here in DC. He would probably take over as a tough yardage guy and could sub when Portis is tired or injured. I'd take Mack over Betts and McCoullough. Sign him for veteran minimum.

Stacey Mack is a great runner and would fill our backup role immediately. This is great news if its true!

that would be a great move if we could sign him. perfect compliment to Portis. where did you get this information? I cant find anythign on that...
He would fit as the short yardage, goal line back like the role Riggs played. I haven't seen anything official regarding this though.

Great change of pace guy, or I guess I should say change of power. Would def. be a good pick up.

Where did you hear this? I haven't seen anything like this anywhere! As for Mack dose he have anything left? If he is anything like he was a few years back he would fill a need but if he was wouldn't he be playing for someone right now?
If anyone can find a link please post it
I found mention of it in the Times
Washington worked out running back Stacey Mack, who started five games for the Houston Texans last season. Mack's best year came in 2001 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, when he started 11 games and rushed for 877 yards. No signing was imminent, and the Redskins already have a crowded backfield with Ladell Betts, Rock Cartwright, Sultan McCullough and John Simon vying for two roster spots.
