Dude can't be too bright, the same girl has gotten him arrested 3 times now. I figure the NFL will suspend him anyway. Shows how inept the Redskin front office can be.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

What a great move. That's sarcasm. Arrested 3 times already and will probably be suspended from the NFL. Horrible front office decision. I think sometimes we try too hard to be the most inept franchise in the NFL.

Now I don't feel quite as bad about Gregg Hardy.....

Why? Do they resume his current contract?

Awful...

We now have a woman abuser to go with the child abuser. What next?

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

I like this move. Reuben Foster is an elite talent.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

I don't really have a problem with it. We lack talent and elite players. Hopefully he can get it together w/ some of the Bama boys on D.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

How imagine this going:

Surefire suspension coming;
After the suspension is served he has back to back achilles tears

No way this move benefits the Skins in any way. If the Pats, he'd be starting in the SB.

This is what happens when you don't draft and develop. If we had better players behind the starters I don't think AP or Foster would be here.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

Surely the Skins knew this was coming

They’re rolling the dice on 2019

I had a feeling this would happen with the Bama boys influence. They are hoping the Bama boys can rehab his ass:

Allen
Payne
Anderson
Hamilton
Ha-ha-ha
Sims
Kouandjio

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

Well we signed a rb that whipped the shit out of his kid,then admitted last week he's still whipping him with a "switch" so who cares if we sign someone who "allegedly"beats woman.I wonder if there are any murderers we can sign? Maybe we can sign O.J. to a one day contract so he can retire a Redskin:doh:

OJ is way to old, Ray Carruth just got released from prison last month plus he played WR a huge area of weakness for this team.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

I have a problem with the wording of the Doug Williams/Redskins statement, ...”If true[the allegations] you can be sure these allegations are nothing our organization would ever condone.”
But we have already signed him and never do they say we will release him if these allegations are proven to be true. So they do not condone it but we will sign him anyways.
Sad we live in a world that a guy that gets arrested 3 times, once for weapons and drug charges, then twice arrested for beating the same women is ok. But we cannot sign a guy that kneels in protest during national anthem. That is too controversial. Violence especially against women is never ok.

He hasn't played a down for us. We don't know what he is at this point.

per Ken Burgundy tweet;

Everyone has an opinion on the Reuben Foster claim. It's interesting to readit all. He likely doesn't play again in 2018. His contract runs through 2020. The "Alabama influence" may help. One thing is certain - the Skins can drop him quickly with no cap hit - if need be

I'm glad you remember how bad the beatings Peterson dished out were. So many people forget about that now, i feel. Peterson wasn't providing discipline, he was committing assault on a tiny, small child. He beat the child to the extent that he had cuts and open wounds, probably permanent scarring. The wounds were to / around the child's genital area, as well as defensive wounds on the child's hands and face. That is beyond sick. He also has a "discipline" room where he hung all of his belts and switches on the wall, like a torture chamber. i believe we discussed this on the boards here when the news first broke, but here's the recap in case anyone has forgotten Peterson's abuse.

Agreed. By signing him the Redskins condoned his behavior. It’s just a bunch of BS and more poor leadership from this piss poor organization.

This regime is a DISGUSTING DISGRACE to Joe Gibbs, Jack Kent Cooke, Lombardi, George Allen, Bobby Beathard, and the other individuals that made this franchise once great.

I’ve reached a point where I’m truly embarrassed to call myself a Redskins fan. I need to stop following such filth

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

Well it's hard to have a 15 minute opinion, but I'm in wait-and-see mode on this one. Let the situation play itself out, if it's legit I would hope they drop him but we all know the NFL is one league where you can commit heinous acts and still play once punishment is served.

Still a bad look for the Redskins to grab him despite his upcoming legal troubles. I hope for our sake this is a situation where his worst crime is being stupid enough to keep hanging out with a woman clearly waiting for a payday (based off her first accusation which she admitted in court was for money).

I don't see what the outrage is about.

"Dan Synder signed him to keep the Redskins in the news [emoji438]"

"Signing Reuben Foster keeps people talking about the Redskins"

I told her that actually makes sense.

If we were going to claim an Alabama guy, I'm surprised it wasn't OT Andre Smith, who was just released by Arizona. Seems like Smith better fills a need right now than Foster.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

I'm always torn on these things because taking a man's livelihood away is no good. That's not going to help him turn his life around. But you also can only give a man so many chances before he needs to pay the piper. In an ideal world for himself, he understands he not only needs to but should want to make drastic lifestyle changes. We'll see.

Re: Redskins have claimed LB Reuben Foster
 

Talent will always get you 2nd and even 3rd chances, but it runs out at some point.
