Does anyone know why Randy didn't participate in AZ and what his current status is (neck)? I ask because he's been such a leader of the group and would expect him to be right there in the thick of it...also a guy I would luv to see rebound this season :)This might explain it. They're trying to make it sound minor, but I'll bet Bridges wasn't brought in just to compete at RT, he's listed as a Guard.

Check out the presser with big Mike Williams on redskins.com, hard to not be rooting for the guy.

I would say they probably have Randy for this season and than next - his release fee prohibits him from being cut this year and is $6.1 million in 2010 but drops off to $4.3 in 2011 - so 2011 I think Thomas is gone unless he has a major career ending injury before then.
I really think the skins got a steal with Bridges and I would not be surprised that he plays one of the guard positions as injuries are bound to happen this year.
Dammit! Articles like this convince me every August that the Skins are going to dominate! As hard I as try to fight it, I can't help the training camp optimism! On a serious note, Williams could be a force on that line, and Samuels should be more healthy and less injury prone. We're still weak at center though, and it's the only position on the line where we seem to have little depth.

If this line improves and becomes pretty good, i think everyone is going to Arizona next year.
