re: Redskins Sign WR David Anderson/Cut WR Donte Stallworth & DT Darrion Scott

I think Donte can still play (though not if there's no QB) and don't believe he was necessarily impeding of Paul and Hankerson. Meaning if Donte wasn't here, there probably would have been some other player/reason not play those two until now. Still, he had become unneccessary and it's the right move to let him go.
So I guess that means this Anderson guy has a some in his store of human capital* that he has accumulated that Stallworth didn't have. Stallworth, at least to me, was a very mature fellow, and that probably helped the young'uns along, even though he did nothing on the field.

*Human capital is the stock of competences, knowledge and personality attributes embodied in the ability to perform labor so as to produce economic value. It is the attributes gained by a worker through education and experience. (from Wikipedia).

/plug for an concept used by economists.
