Slaton didn't have to clear waivers, so that's inaccurate. As soon as he was cut he became a free agent. Possible that the Skins are waiting until after week one so that his contract isn't guaranteed. They've been interested in Slaton for a while, so I seriously doubt they suddenly lost interest overnight. I think they're just trying to be smart about it. That said though, their interest was largely due to not expecting Helu to be ready. If he is, then that could impact their decision.
Someone, I think ESPN980, reported that the Redskins tried to add Texans G Shelley Smith but he was claimed by the Rams and I know they tried to add Texans C Cody Wallace but the Bucs claimed him
Center is a good idea, so is RT...any news on them trying to get another T or CB?

I remember him a few years ago, when they said he'd be a perfect find for the ZBS. Oh well. DeAngelo Peterson on the other hand was a great pickup for the PS.

So, is there an 8 man practice squad yet? I've seen some names but doesn't seem like we agreed with all 8 yet.

Also, the following players are on IR now
Dorson Boyce (FB)
Tristan Davis (WR)
Darius Hanks (WR)
Lance Lewis (WR)
Chris Neild (DL)
So those could be some guys to watch out for next summer

Thanks SS!
It is interesting that we have so many PSers who were in camp with other teams. We included relatively few folks from our own camp.
And the Crompton era is over. :(

so much for the thought of cooley coming back, this puts the nail in the coffin
Actually it has no real bearing on that. If they are considering bringing Cooley back after the first week as some have speculated, they would do so by carrying 4 TE's or cutting Paul or Paulson. None of them are eligible for the PS. Having a promising guy on the PS is good insurance, but it impacts the Cooley situation (if there is such a thing) very little.
Forget the fact that Cooley may very well latch on with another team at that time, so not making the insurance move would be silly.

Daryl Gamble was a name in college I had interest in us drafting a few years ago, we'll see what happens with him.
