Glory Glory Hallelujah! Redskins Reportedly Sign RB Marcus Mason

Oh dear god. Clarity people, at this point im going with sarcasm on your part. I've been at work for the last 9 hours and my brain isn't functioning at top speed. So, what in god's name is happening.

I think he could actually challenge Ladell for the number 2 spot. Hopefully...

Marcus Mason is a local talent who played for Maryland if I'm not mistakened. Last year he had some outstanding carries in preseason with the Redskins and he was released and the Ravens signed him. I like this young guy. He has the ability to hit the holes and make the right cut to gain a good average per carry. Hope he makes the cut.

Oh man, i just found some stuff on the guy. He has been on three different practice squads... Haha, where are you guys getting all of the good info on him?

No, but seriously. Explain this to me, I have no oppinions at the moment so i can be easily swayed, who is he, what position does he play, how does this help us.... I am in the dark here.

He is a RB/fan favorite that got cut last preseason. We let him go because we didn't want to hinder his talent by keeping him as a 3d or 4th back. He is good enough to be a 2d string back somewhere. if he was able to return kicks or punts, IMO we would have dropped Cartwright. He is a great pick up for the time being and I look forward to watching him, Colt and Marko in the preseason. Did i hear someone say bring back Buck Ortega?

Fan favorite. Played well in the preseason. Exciting to watch, but expectations of him seem unrealistically high

Still haven't found a solid link to post. Maybe he has to clear a waiver order something. But I done been told we got him.

Since I don't have a link yet, I'll edit the thread title

I like this move. Hopefully this year he can make the team.

Damnit, you people got my hopes up. well, I'll like the move if he can make the team and SAVE us money towards the cap. That would be kinda nice, maybe pick up Hill, Foote, or Levi Smith.... I'm a dreamer, haha a 200k savings wont get us much.

P.S. What are Betts and Cartwright making in '09?

LOL! Here we go again... I will respectfully decline to comment, and defer to JoeRedskin and Mattyk.

Why don't you just plug directly into the master control over there at the ESPN mothership SmootSmack?
