I say yes. He is an outstanding return man. He was 7th in the NFL last year in PR average when he was with Carolina.
He was signed by Tennessee in the offseason but was hurt until the last preseason game. In that game, he broke a punt return for 21 yards and a kickoff return for 44 yards but it was too late for him to make the team.
We need that type of production in the return game. I say we should sign him.

And who do we cut to make room?

We have enough players who can play multiple positions to make room. I would say we could carry one fewer DE because both SLB's, Brian Orakpo and Chris Wilson, can play DE as needed.

I'd bring him in for a tryout as a return guy, what's his main position though? if he could backup running back as well I'd take him over Alridge or Dorsey. Neither stood out and Alridge has a mean case of fumbilitis.

We should try somebody new this year returning the football but i wouldnt bring anybody in. We have to have somebody that can fill that role.

Rock? Oh sorry I forgot this is ROCKTheWarpath. LOL. JK, JK ....just having fun.
but seriously if we are going to pick up one return specialist off of wavers then it's only resonable we let the one go who he's replacing. Just saying. I just want to point out though Rock is rated #23 against all KR's for averaging 25.6 yrds per KR. The only bright spot is Jones can take it to the house and is an actual threat to do it on any given KR.

I don't know this guy, and yes it is the chiefs who cut him, but he started all 16 games last year, and is a 10 yr vet:

any thoughts
edit: maybe this was hijacking, I assume that there will be many guys released in the next 48 hours, and this thread would be a good place to discuss.

Seriously, you'd take some guy off the street (whose position you do not even know) who just got cut over guys that you have had at Redskins Park for months. And you'd bring him on as a 6th WR (as a guy who has two passes in five NFL seasons). But he is a great return man right? Well he had 400 fewer kick return yards than Rock Cartwright last year (and a lower return average) and zero career punt return TDs. He had a better average than Randle El returning punts, yay! These "pick up this scrub?" threads are always head scratchers, but this one might take the cake.

Then who do we cut to keep a 3rd running back? We already cut Cartwright to keep Jones, who loses their spot so we can have a KR and 3rd RB? Or do we cut Marko to make room for Jones as the 5th WR/KR?

And that analysis is based upon his zero career combined punt and kick return td's or his 24 yards per KR?
