I appreciate what he has done in the past but it is pretty sad if we can't find a better guy than an injured James Thrash.

Really good guy, solid locker room presence and has been a solid teamer, TRUE REDSKIN, a #3 WR hes not.
But it will be retire or get cut for Thrash. Enough, enjoy the rest of your life while you can still walk. Maybe, a ST or WR coaching career down the road.

I thank him for his years with the team, but really he needs to look out for his health first. I dont think he is going to make the team this year anyway, at least I sure hope not. And if he does make the team, how much will he really play and contribute? Lets go with Roydell or a young guy and keep it movin....

I hope he retires. I think he will. He's a smart man, I'm sure he knows he'll almost certainly be cut if he doesn't hang up the cleats.
It's kind of a bummer to think Jansen and Thrash won't be in the locker room anymore.

Yeah he is so intelligent and I can either see him as a coach or working to make the NFL better somewhere in a corporate office with the league. He has been an asset to our locker room and, at times, on our field.

Great guy, but overall there is good news out of this. Hopefully some of the younger guys will get more of a chance.

I think Thrash has been a great example for all the younger guys over the years and has been a ST's beast. I appreciate everything he has done for the Redskins, but I would like to see him retire and go out with the dignity he deserves.

I love him....he keeps his mouth shut and plays hard.....but 1 or 2 TD's a yr aint going to cut it. We need more from our WR's that are active.

Sadly, many young (and veteran) wideouts don't follow this philosophy.
