Offseason Roster Moves Thread

Yeah as really need to hire those now that Norman is no more though his time with the Redskins either did not at all let him show his potential or that he did not work well like he did in Carolina.

Checked in with some folks about Jordan Reed’s status - Even in concussion protocol Redskins can release him. Reed could be eligible for CBA's injury protection benefit of $1.2M if he isn't cleared to play in 2020. His contract also might contain some injury guarantees.

This is true. They do not have to reach an injury settlement with him. If released, he's then entitled to the injury protection benefit. If Reed wants to retire, makes sense to wait until after collecting this benefit to announce

Don’t need to wait to cut Reed for injury settlement



I think the Redskins should hold some sort of mutual press conference with Reed to announce his release from the team, even if they don’t have to pay an injury settlement. He’s sacrificed himself for the team and is well thought of by his teammates, coaches, the media and the fans. Sorry to see him go but it’s time to move on. That $8.5 mill will pay for an outstanding replacement like Hooper or Henry.

I am assuming neither will hit the open market and if they do, I think a team will over pay because of high demand and low supply.

Versatile TEs seem like unicorns currently but when you do find these unicorns .. they tend to be grazing in the 2nd Round to UDFA pastures.

I would rather we go Olsen, Sprinkle, FA and then draft and UDFA a few guys. TE seems like an area we have scouted well.

Logan Paulsen was an UDFA and stuck around for 8 years.
JP Holtz UDFA w Browns, signed w us, now on Bears.
Sprinkle - 5r ... wish he had made a leap this year when opportunity knocked vs taking a step back, not giving up on him yet.

Seahawks signed TE Greg Olsen, formerly of the Panthers, to a one-year, $7 million contract.
Per Profootballtalk's Mike Florio, the deal includes $5.5 million guaranteed. That's on the higher end of what we were expecting. It's no wonder Olsen was willing to stay out of the T.V. booth for at least one more year. One month shy of his 35th birthday, Olsen finally kicked his years-long struggle with foot issues last season to post a 52/597/2 line, averaging a solid 11.5 yards per catch..

7 mil plain stupid for Olsen. Solid pass

Have to agree to much $$$ for me. It's a business and he's taking care of his.

burgundyblog speculates that we offered more. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but even if we offered an identical context, I’d say Olsen saved Rivera from making his first mistake as Head Coach. Paying they kind of money to a 35 year old injury plagued TE is not the business we need to be in. I’d rather pay Hooper 101-12 Mil per year on average. We really dodged a bullet there.

In other news, JP Finlay just replied to a tweet commenting on the fact that that Stephon Diggs deleted everything on his IG account vikings related. There where rumblings of him coming to Washington last off-season. Probably nothing, but something involving Diggs and Trent could make a lot of sense for both teams. We’d be swapping one need for another, but giving everyone a clean slate.

Greg Olsen off the board, never wanted him

Sounds stupid until you compare it to what The Redskins paid for Davis & Reed last season.

Olsen wants the chance for a ring, don’t blame him
