Re: Jansen Released!

The exact hit, per the cap sheets, is $2.7 million. 37% of that hit was covered by the recent cap increase, so this was clearly an opportunity driven move, much like Haynesworth was.

Re: Jansen Released!

Jansen was one tough SOB. The changing of the guard has definitely started. I would be very interested to see what our roster looks like 2 years from now.

Re: Jansen Released!

Damn talk about coming on here and getting a shock. While Jansen may have regressed a little late in his career his overall performance in DC was great. Its rare nowadays in the NFL to have a player play for one team as long as Jansen has. Drafted in 1999 and paired up with Chris Samuels in 2000 we had two of the best young tackles for years. I still remember all of the classic battles Jansen and Michael Strahan had as if they were just yesterday. You usually dont find quality guys like Jon Jansen very often in the NFL who have the complete package. Its a sad day for Redskin fans everywhere that he is no longer a Washington Redskin.

Hopefully this means guys like Heyer, Mike Williams, and Bridges have stepped up.

Where the hell does all this money come from?

Re: Jansen Released!

Jansen is very very very lucky to have collected such a huge paycheck last year.
He had a great run. He's filthy rich. Doubt he ever plays another down in the NFL.
The only people who think he can still play have the last name Jansen.

Re: Jansen Released!

Great Redskin player and great in the community. Hope he lands in a good situation, but it was time. I will be eager to see how our guys handle the RT position this year. Hopefully someone steps up.

Re: Jansen Released!

Sad day, but if it makes sense financially I think everyone agrees that he's way below what he used to be.

Jon Jansen deserves a lot of credit & praise from us. At a time when the franchise tried every win big quick scheme JJ not only did his job, he did it well, played in pain & on top of that, was a leader & spokesperson.

Re: Jansen Released!

Honestly, I didn't understand how he "Won" his starting job back last year. The Starter "Heyer" beat him out in training camp, got hurt, and went to the bench the remainder of the season? That whole situation didn't make sense to me. And don't preach that crap to me about how it may have negatively affected the running game. That's a bunch of crap. I appreciated Jansen in his early years, but this was way overdue.

Good Riddance

Damn dude I can see why your screen name is Angry.

When he came in for Heyer he improved the offensive line last year and helped us win some games. Before Jansen started Clinton Portis rushed for 84, 96, and 68 yards. The next 5 games when Jansen started Portis rushed for 121, 145, 129, 175, and 126 yards. Thats why Jansen kept his job until he got hurt later in the season.

OK the 84 yards was against the Giants who had one of the best Defenses in the league. Combine that with the fact that the whole team looked lathargic and there is not much argument for your case there.

The 96 Yard game came with 2 touchdowns and 4.6 YPC (not exactly stinking up the joint).

I agree that the Arizona game was pretty bad, but one performance shouldn't cost you your job.

Now here is where those stats are skewed a little. Any professional player or analyst will tell you that the running game doesn't truly develop until about weeks 4-8. So when the running game picked up it wasn't because of Jansen, it was because it was time for the running game to pick up.

Also the running game didn't look that hot in weeks 9, 11,13,14, and 18 (all against pretty good D's I admit) all of which Jon Jansen did start. Bottom Line we could have seen the same results out of Heyer sprinkled with a little bit more pass protection.

In my personal opinion I feel that Jansen was not taking his demotion as well as many of you think that he was and the coaching staff was too scared to pull him once Heyer was healthy. I am glad that they made this move now, but they should have had the nuts to do it last year. Getting rid of him was the only way to go because there probably would have been problems if he got beat out again.

You could be right maybe Heyer would have been better. I think the offensive line looked alot better once Jansen hit the starting lineup in Dallas. I think he was one of the key pieces to the Skins 6-2 start. As the season went on in the 2nd half I think the whole offensive line in general had problems.

Hopefully Heyer can take the experience he has and take the next step if he does get the RT job over Bridges and Williams.

Heyer will end up as the backup at both TACKLE spots... Pencil in Bridges as the starting RT, he was just promoted in my opinion..

Re: Jansen Released!

This sure opens a whole lot of questions to me:

First has to be the cap. Wasn't he like a 2.8 million dollar hit? I know he had a 6million dollar release fee.

Second, I really thought they were trying him at C/G, so now who backs up Rabach?

Third, What the h*** is going on with the line!?!
