Steve Slaton who the skins been looking at, was traded to us for Armstrong, Dez makes the team

[celts32]

Cutting Hightower is the right move. And maybe I am wrong but i see him as a guy who will be available on the waiver wire this year if we have injury trouble and need him.

Why? emergency backup RB? Like a 3rd string QB?

not a bad thought

While we are getting former Texan RBs, can we just trade for Ben Tate and end all of this mess!

I think they're still iffy on Helu's health quite honestly

Zero, no surprise at the Hightower move. Real good move to get Slaton.

But keeping 4 CB and what 6 safeties is the head scratcher for me

Makes alot of sense, thinking down the road.

[SmootSmack]

Haven't been able to confirm that we got him for Armstrong, but I know (and some others here know as well) that the Redskins and Dolphins have been talking Slaton trade for a couple of weeks and the Dolphins were asking for much more than just AA up until as recently as Monday

I think we could still see some cuts/signings based on who gets released elsewhere?

I agree. I think he had the ability to be every bit the "playmaker' that Banks supposedly is.

Show me something in the regular season Brandon. I really, really want to be wrong about you.

Great trade Armstrong for Slaton. It helps out both teams. Now Slaton can return kicks which means bye bye Banks...? (Wishful thinking)

But really 6 safeties and 4 CBs..what happens when we play teams that go to 5Wide sets...Good luck!

[MTK]

Miami definitely needs WR help

there is no need for 6 safeties, when we are going with 1 depth tackle, Black, who hasnt played ball for a year. we should be very concerned

I concur on all points. Banks' better repay Danny Smith's loyalty to him. And I thought Robinson showed a lot more this preseason than he did last preseason. I really hope he makes an impact this year.
