Brian Mitchell to retire as a Redskin

He is certainly the best return man the Redskins have ever had in my opinion. I would not mind it if he came back to us to help coach special teams.

I think that would be a great idea to have him coach.

athletic ability doesnt automatically translate into good coaching im afraid.

If the HoF is going to start to honor special teams then the 1st guy they have to put in is Ray Guy. He's the greatest punter of all time. The list can go from there but Ray Guy has to be 1st.

Nice...BM's release was one of the Danny's first of many big mistakes. Glad to hear he will retire a skin.

I loved that B Mitch, played great for us. He also trashed talked about the Skins to. If you ever have meet him around town he is one arrogant son of a bitch. And I just don't get the value of signing someone for 1 day and having them retire. We know he played for the Skins for 10 years, what value does this serve? No one signed him this year becuase the feel he can not contribute to a team so what is the point fo signning him for one day.

The point of signing him for one day is so he can officially retire as a Redskin.

And how does this matter?

He was officially signed byt the Redskins 14 years ago, and officially release 4 years ago. Do we have to officially sign him so he can retire a Redskin? I thought he was a Redskin for 10 years, why do we need to make it official?

Probably because Mitchell would like to retire as a Skin, I think it's great that both sides have patched things up. Call it a bit of closure.

What's the harm anyway??

Can anybody recall why we let him go. Did we think he was washed up? Did we have a person we thought would be better? Or was it just a dumb move by snyder?
