Really shaking my head right now.
Me too. Maybe it's the conspiracy theorist in me, but I can't help but think there's more to this than meets the eye. The guy was averaging nearly 30 yards per kickoff return, plus he's still really young with the proverbial upside. Are Joey Galloway and Roydell Williams really better for the Skins right now? Thomas hasn't even seen the field as an offensive player under Shanny. Was he so bad in practice he didn't even earn a snap?
GTripp is going to have some "I told you so's" on this one....

I would cut Roydell Williams and promote Austin from the PS right now. I bet the 7th rounder can produce unlike our 2nd rounder.

Well DT is gone and at least he could stay healthy. How much you wanna bet the Skins are gonna wave buhbye to Kelly in the off season?

This year, Thomas couldn't make inroads despite a wide open No. 2 receiver competition that still hasn't been adequately filled. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said recently that Thomas needed to take a "more professional" approach to practice to earn playing time on offense.

Wow! The Skins have not had any success at grooming WR's for the past 10-15 years...is it the WR's we bring in or the organization that can't produce players... maybe a combo but this needs to change!!!
Who is our WR coach? Maybe that needs an overhaul?

Unbelievable. I guess he was a real project.
i really hope they give a better explantion...i mean he beasted in a couple games last yr, obviously it wasnt enough but to throw away a second round pick is just a horrible waste

It was Stan Hixon for the longest time. Now it's Keenan McCardell.

$10 says another team picks him up and he goes ape shit the rest of the year. Always seems to work that way for the Skins. Redskins' garbage is another team's gem.

More professional, huh? Smells like a my-way-or-the-highway move by Shanny I guess.

By the way that paragraph was from ESPN's Matt Mosley.
