Well, we would have to let someone else go if we decided to keep Dixon.. Although the spot for Anothony Montgomery could have been easily filled in by Dixon..
Well i think Dixon had more upside then Monty & Wynn especially Wynn.

I just realy pisses me off, that we let him go. We have had so few undrafted free agents that have been worth keeping. Those are the players that realy help a franchise succeed. It is how we built our teams of the eighties. It would be one less position to think about in our next draft.

The guy had one sack (and what like 4 tackles all season) and we're up in arms about it? Really? Nevermind that we have Golston, Jarmon, Haynesworth, Griffin, Carter, Orakpo, heck even Chris Wilson can play the line. And maybe Carter or Griffin will be gone next year, or both. So what, Antonio Dixons are a dime a dozen. I guarantee we'll find another free agent, training camp hero defensive linemen next summer.
Really, of all the things to be upset about Dixon is not one of them. Like I said good for him, but losing him is irrelevant

Really? Dixon was the only good thing to come out of training camp? And we're much worse off without Dixon?
Good for Dixon, but our D Line is just fine.
Yes, good point. Thats great for him.
But that is the least of the Redskins problems. If the Offense could just play half as well as the D, we would be in decent shape.
Most know it starts up front and with a smart/quick decision making QB. Something IMO we have neither.
On to the thread. As we move through this horrible season, it appears very clear to me this is the end of the line for Blache and more than likely the rest of the coaching staff.

I see what you are saying, but I saw what i believe to be more than just a dime a dozen talent. The guy is a rookie. A team like the Eagles, have used him as part of thier rotation every game. We just payed a hundred million for a DT. You watch, he is more than another UDF. I watched him closely and he was a bull dozer coming through the middle on every play(in pre-season).

Don't really care about Dixon per se, but it does show that our FO should be looking at other practice squads for an OL addition. Seems like we might be able to mine some team with a deep OL like Philly claimed Dixon.

We could have claimed Jamon Meredith from the Packers or Lydon Murtha from the Lions. Players that I had been praying they would sign. I even said it here on warpath, but the Bills signed Meredith and the dolphins signed Murtha. But yes, they should be looking for a player to develop that is young and has tools to work with. My last player that I think that they should pick up is Brian Brohm, off the Packers practice squad.

Dixon just blocked a field goal.
