That said though, their interest was largely due to not expecting Helu to be ready. If he is, then that could impact their decision.

Someone, I think ESPN980, reported that the Redskins tried to add Texans G Shelley Smith but he was claimed by the Rams and I know they tried to add Texans C Cody Wallace but the Bucs claimed him

Center is a good idea, so is RT...any news on them trying to get another T or CB?

I remember him a few years ago, when they said he'd be a perfect find for the ZBS. Oh well. DeAngelo Peterson on the other hand was a great pickup for the PS.

So, is there an 8 man practice squad yet? I've seen some names but doesn't seem like we agreed with all 8 yet.

[SmootSmack]

Practice squad complete. See original post.

[SmootSmack]

Also, the following players are on IR now

Dorson Boyce (FB)
Tristan Davis (WR)
Darius Hanks (WR)
Lance Lewis (WR)
Chris Neild (DL)

So those could be some guys to watch out for next summer

Thanks SS!

It is interesting that we have so many PSers who were in camp with other teams. We included relatively few folks from our own camp.

And the Crompton era is over.

Actually it has no real bearing on that. If they are considering bringing Cooley back after the first week as some have speculated, they would do so by carrying 4 TE's or cutting Paul or Paulson. None of them are eligible for the PS. Having a promising guy on the PS is good insurance, but it impacts the Cooley situation (if there is such a thing) very little.

Forget the fact that Cooley may very well latch on with another team at that time, so not making the insurance move would be silly.

Daryl Gamble was a name in college I had interest in us drafting a few years ago, we'll see what happens with him.

I suppose he would come back if the redskins suffer an injury and promote him to the roster since he's on Tampa Bays PS.

[SmootSmack]

I don't get the impression White would even want to come back

[REDSKINS4ever]

Jonathan Crompton wasn't eligible for the practice squad this year like last year?

We've got some pretty good young LB's this year. I like White alot but his chances for playing time are probably better elsewhere.
