(Merged) June 1st Cuts.

Az Hakim will probably be cut, but I would think he would winde up back with the Rams, that is where he had all his success, a perfect example of a talented player doing nothing if he's in the wrong situation.

morton,barrow,sellers,hasselback, are all gone.maybe even the invisible man mccants.

Not to start anything, but you say that Az Hakim is a talented player doing nothing because he is in the wrong situation. Then you come out and lable Portis as a system back. It seems by the tone of your posts you kinda of sympathize with Az Hakim who clearly was "system WR", but you have like a "I hate Portis" tone when you lable him as a system back.

Atleast Portis is talented enough to still be a factor on gameday when he is in the so called "wrong situation". Where as with Az Hakim, what has he done since he left the Rams?

I think Sellers stays. He is a special team stand out, and Gibbs knows we need help there.

I think the main target for a cut /retire is Barrow. If his knee doesn't hold up, and why would we think it would it would, then he has to be gone. I'd say there's a better than 50% chance he retires. Hasslebeck may end up getting cut since why would anyone trade for him when the Skins are clearly going to have to cut him barring an injury that allows them to IR him. I think Rock is gone. As well as McCants.
You have to look at the makeup now and guys like Rock and McCants have no place on the team. Right now Sellers plays in front of Cartwright and the new guy is certainly going to make the team before him. That leaves a potential third FB spot(do they even keep 3?) for Rock or the other new guy. The other new guy is cheaper and it will cost no cap space to cut Rock. He's gone. McCants is in the same boat for sure now that Gardner is staying(presumably). The WRs are Patten, Moss, Thrash, Jacobs, Gardner. There is certainly a chance they grab someone of the waiver wire post June 1. There's no way they keep more than 6 WRs and whose spot does he take? He's not getting a spot in front any of the first four I listed and there is no way the Skins will simply cut Gardners if they wouldn't trade him because they didn't get enough value. That would be more than retarded. McCants for this team. Those are probably the biggest name cuts but we'll see as always.

Say Gardner does get it together this year, you all think we'll shop him or resign him?

I see no reason why they wouldn't try adnf resign him if he steps it up and becomes a valuable part fo the receiving corp. I would think with the way they ahve tried to tear him he would eb amenable too.

It would be nice if he could finally get it together. I'm just worried because he's had ENOUGH time to get it together. Good thing is, we set a precedent with Smoot/Pierce so that Gardner would know we won't overpay him.

Well, I think the resigning part would have to come first, but to truly see if Gardner can rekindle the magic of his rookie season, we would have to see him for the whole season. Maybe to sign him with a one year league minimum deal....that's better than sittin on your rump watchin' football. This could be his year to say I am going to prove all these teams including the Redskins that I come to play...maybe by season's end the Redskins will have a change of heart, but thinking in more terms of a realist, he's probably gonna get cut.

That would be a shame. I would think that since he has something to prove, they might try to fit him into the offense.
