Woah!

Redskins Insider - Redskins release WR Devin Thomas

saden1 · 10-09-2010, 12:46 PM

Unbelievable. I guess he was a real project.

GMScud · 10-09-2010, 12:49 PM

Yeah I knew the guy was really struggling in the eyes of the coaches, but he's been very solid in the return game. I'm surprised we just straight up cut him. Sheesh. What a waste.

GMScud · 10-09-2010, 12:52 PM

To say our receiving corps is paltry would be a compliment. I wish we could find a way to draft AJ Green. We'll need to win less than 4 or 5 games to get that chance though.

GMScud · 10-09-2010, 01:06 PM

So who is going to return kickoffs now?

Banks or Simpson.

I'm telling you, Julio Jones is just as good as AJ Green is.

Look at my post above on WRs drafted the last 10 years. Every one of those guys were studs in college too. Green and Jones could just as easily flame out at the next level. QB and WR may be the most difficult positions to predict success in the NFL.

We will not take a WR with our 1st round pick and you can take that to the bank.

$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.

SFREDSKIN · 10-09-2010, 12:48 PM

Someone will snap him up quick. How about NE?

InsaneBoost · 10-09-2010, 01:11 PM

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....

SFREDSKIN · 10-09-2010, 01:22 PM

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