A source says for now - no trade on @DonteStallworth and he is a WR for the #Redskins still.

and let us be mindful of this

100% correct. RT @andysimms: To players who celebrate "making the team" - be careful, teams will make cuts tmrw & the next day & next day...

Royster HAS been CUT. Draughn as well. According to WP's Mike Jones

Thanks for the notification. Also you can change your sig now

The Skins will announce their cuts later tonight, according to this post on the NFC (B)east blog on ESPN. It remains to be seen if any trades have happened, since the deadline to get to 53 has already passed (6 pm). 23 confirmed cuts have already happened, check my above post for names. Either way we'll know all the details by the end of tonight, but more roster moves will probably be made in the coming days.

Thanks for the link . I would have cut one of the WR's before either K . Williams or Royster .

Yeah, I don't get that either. I thought Royster did well enough to make the team -- but what do I know? Keiland didn't see much playing time this preseason; guess the writing was on the wall for him.

Artis Hicks was the final cut to get us to 53. The trade didn't go through. More roster moves will probably happen in the coming days.

We don't have a single backup guard on the roster

Willie Smith did play some guard in college, but obvi he's not ideal for depth at this point.

and apparently he hasn't played a second at guard even at practice for us.

keep in mind we have

C/G Will Montgomery
C/G Chris Chester
C/G Erik Cook

Willie Smith who as an emergency could play guard, and I'm sure Locklear could play Guard in an emergency, and if worst came to worst we could use mr utility Lorenzo Alexander.

But yes I understand why you all are not too satisfied with our guard situation.

I'm a bit worried about our guard situation.

Do we make a move for Meriweather and try to sign him? With Moore hurt, and our Safety injuries piling up, not to mention OJ is 30+... Maybe making a move for him would be smart?

There are pieces of the puzzle that are not currently on the team yet. That is how I feel about the OLINE. BA and MS may have a few targets out there and they are waiting for cuts to come down.

It seems strange to me to only keep 8 guys, but at the same time if the players we cut garnered keeping MS would have them on the team. He is putting his OL together and so far he has 8 guys he likes. I would assume that they are planning on adding another body.

25.6 or something is our average age this year on the roster. I think that's towards the lowest in the league? I could be wrong..

Big difference then last year we were like 28/29. something.
