Anyone want to buy a Ramsey #11/Coles #80/Bailey #24/or Washington #53 jersey?

I've got Arrington #56/Washington#53/Taylor#21 but I think I'll hold on to them. Other than Taylor, I probably don't have a choice. I probably couldn't give them away.

I cant believe what I just saw in one of the videos posted.....

OT Stephrn Heyer stoned Albert Hayensworth to let Jason Cambell step up in the pocket

great block.....Maybe he is the future at RT

I don't have nearly as much problem as some others do with Heyer. Just don't play him at LT.

Crowell, Crowder, and possibly Boley or Hagler could be viable replacements in FA.

I would trade up for Curry. I really think he is a game changer.

I think he is a COMPLETE OLB who is ready for the NFL and could make an immediate impact.

Sue them Marcus!

Definitely one of my favorite Skins while he was here. If we were an above average team with a real shot at a Super Bowl I'd like to keep him here. But we are not. We are average at best and old. So I think this is the right move.

This was one of the best free agent acquisitions the Skins have made in a long time. MW was well worth the money the first couple years when he was a MONSTER. And when it was time to let him go it only cost us a couple mill.

Thanks for everything Marcus, best of luck in the future. I hope you catch on with another team soon... just not in our division.

I'm soo glad the CAP goes bye bye in 2010. You see ...in the old days teams would pick players up in the draft and only occasionally get free agents. Most players were looked at as being team players. Meaning life long players. Ever since they put the CAP on things and opened up the owners pockets to get more pay either teams can't afford to keep their team players due to CAP or the player goes elsewhere looking for his pay day.

Lost was the days when you as a fan would really be upset at losing a decent player and god forbid they went to a rival. It just didn't happen or you were betrayed. Now a days losing a player is all business. Ho-hum, lets look for his replacement. I have not felt that undying loyalty to any player since what 92? Players come and go. You purchase a jersey and with in 3-4 yrs they are gone. It would be alot different if the jersey's were like $15 dollars or $20 dollars but they are like $100 or more. Unless you shop at Walmart like me. .

I can only hope that if anything changes, we will be able to keep "team players" and fans will be able to purchase jersey and be able to wear it longer then 3 yrs.

I'm definitely sad to see him go, but we kinda knew it was his time. His salary definitely wasn't justified anymore, but he was still a leader on the team. I really hope he ends up somewhere good and can resurrect his career, unless he decides he hates the Redskins and ends up playing for a division rival. I'm gonna miss the passion he brought to the field.

You got to play to get paid. Marcus had it coming. I want to know how we're going to replace him though. Through free agency? The draft?

My guess would be a 2nd tier type of free agent. Or who knows, maybe someone like Blades steps up and takes the job?

I don't know about Blades playing strong LB. He's too small and is probably best suited as a back-up to Fletcher. I suspect the Skins' will definitely take a linbacker or two in the draft.
