Not surprising, sad to see him go nonetheless

re: Updated: Redskins Release Marcus Washington
Well this sucks but expected. 53 was a great guy, met him numerous times and what I remember the most is how he came back out after training just to talk to my younger brother for almost 20 minutes. That really inspired him to play football and I really haven't heard anything negative of Marcus' interaction with the fans.
Hopefully he gets over some of his injuries and he finds a good fit with some other team.

re: Updated: Redskins Release Marcus Washington
I'll make myself a bit vulnerable here and just say this is the saddest Redskin moment for me since losing Sean (I know the two aren't even comparable in reality but i'm just saying emotionally). I've only seen a single Redskins game live - Browns v Skins '08 - and i can honestly say my eyes were almost always on Marcus when the d was on the field. He was already a favorite but his passion out there, which the camera can't really capture, was something I'll never forget.
... if he doesn't wear the B & G again I wish him the very, very best regardless of where he plays (although I'd kind of like to see him go to NO w/ Williams but doubt it will happen). On the other hand I'm not giving up hope we bring him back on a contract more favorable to the franchise until we actually replace him.

Re: Updated: Redskins Release Marcus Washington
Good player for us. One of those FAs that our front office never gets any attention for but we can't pay guys 8 mil a year to play 6 games.

Re: Updated: Redskins Release Marcus Washington
With all the injuries, it's easy to forget that Marcus was once a great linebacker for us.
Hopefully, I'll get to watch him play elsewhere next year.

Re: Updated: Redskins Release Marcus Washington
Glad to see were finally starting to make moves.
He was good the firs two years but injuries set in and he just wasn't really playing that much so I'm glad this happend. |

Re: Updated: Redskins Release Marcus Washington
He will be missed. I'll miss him making a tackle ten yards down field after the RB has a first down and celebrating like he just had a ten yard sack on a game winning stop.

Re: Updated: Redskins Release Marcus Washington
Hate to see him go but most likely a wise move. A great player for the skins for a long time.
