Re: Redskins Try Out 18 Players
It's pretty common and usually just for info gathering.

Re: Redskins Try Out 18 Players
Wrong answer. The truth is it never happens. We're holding the tryouts to mask the fact that RG3 isn't totally healthy but Shanahan is afraid Kirk Cousins will play well. That's the answer you're supposed to give!

Re: Redskins Try Out 18 Players
Not at all. He won't take a pay cut, that's the main reason why teams won't sign him. Cardinals tried to bring him back on multiple occasions. He said no every time

Re: Redskins Try Out 18 Players
Hell, I'd say sign his son. Have DG come to all practices and everything and also have him to coach our current DBs. Hell maybe even suit him up some and sneak him in some games.. I have no doubt hes still fast and can play better than some we have now if not most.

How unrealistic is his contract expectation?

Re: Redskins Try Out 18 Players
I mean last I heard he turned down a 1 year, $3 million deal from the Cardinals. This after he rejected 1 year, $2 million.
You know how many DBs are playing on one year deals for much less than $2 million? A lot

Yes, our ST's are bad. It seems to me that the Skins should be able to at least pick up a PR/KR somewhere to help our field position. There must somebody decent on the street. BTW, our offense is bad, too. The Oakland game was a win but not a turning point. As of now, we're still playing bad football, IMO. Perhaps a win in Dallas could jump start the season.

Besides the possibility of a few players not wanting a gay teammate, the real issue here is teams not wanting the crazy media circus that a gay NFL player would bring to town. Jason Collins is a scrub who can barely make an NBA team and averages more fouls per game than points per game and we had to hear about him every day for 3 months including the President calling him a "hero" for having sex with men. It has less to do with his lifestyle and more to do with the crapstorm of attention and distractions that would come with him. I don't want that distraction. It will be worse than if we signed Tim Tebow. The media ruins more careers than it helps and Rhodes is another victim. If the media's world wouldn't stop because of non-stories like a player's sexual orientation, their religious beliefs or their supermodel girlfriends...teams would not have to consider the rabid packs of drooling reporters when picking talent for their rosters. I'd love to have Rhodes on this team as a player...but I don't want the gay media parade that will come with him if it's true. I don't care either way, just stop Dez Bryant and pick off Eli Manning a couple of times and you're good with me as a Redskin. Oh yeah, and don't do drugs, drive drunk and avoid raping and murdering people. Who you sleep with doesn't matter to me, but sadly, the media is obsessed with it.

Re: Redskins Try Out 18 Players
I'm pretty sure nobody cares that Kerry Rhodes is gay. That rumor has been swirling around for several years now, he denies it and that's as much as I've ever heard on the subject.
This is being blown up way more than it has even had a chance to go. It's like the slippery slope that hasn't even happened. Stop.

Re: Redskins Try Out 18 Players
I would not have a clue about his personal life, but I heard the same discussion on sports talk radio this morning.
Like I said, the media is the real problem.
