Andre Roberts

[gkekoa]

Rumored he is gone.

 

[j_y19]

not a surprise. It was just a matter of time.

 

[gkekoa]

Most would say it is about time.

 

[Sharkinva]

2 months to late as far as Im concerned.

 

[Darrell Green Fan]

Most would say it is about time.

Without a doubt. I assume this was a result of him finally being cleared medically? So does that mean Culliver was already cleared after his major surgery?

Washington cuts receiver Andre Roberts

He is gone.

Washington cuts receiver Andre Roberts

He is gone.

i think he was a surprise cut to make room for for the 6-4 200 lbs wr reggie diggs

 

[Sharkinva]

So this gives us around $4.66 million in cap space.

Washington Redskins Salary Cap - Over the Cap

Over The Cap projects us having $36M in cap space next year based on a $166M cap. That doesn't include Roberts' release so we'll have about $40M. However, if we can re-do Cuz's deal and get his cap number down to, say, $15M this year, that will mean we can roll the extra $5M we save this year over to next year. If so, we'll have around $45M in space in 2017 if, and it's a big if, the cap rises to $166M.

With that amount of space, that will be more than enough to accommodate Cuz's cap figure and to re-sign someone like D-Jax, who I still think we need.

it will be between garcon and dj . to me whomever is productive and healthy would be my target . i expect wr will be on our draft board next season as well

I think we cut him because we have cheaper and better alternatives in place thus freeing up capital to resign KC and others.

As for the choice in DJ and PG...there is no choice. DJ spreads the field. Even if he is individually ineffective, he opens other players...he will be the player resigned.

That was always my thought too. But it maybe true that it depends on how this year plays out.

Could be...also the price tag attached for next season.

Dropping Andre Roberts corresponded with the signing of CB Mariel Cooper (Citadel) to keep within the 90 man roster.

Classy move by Roberts to attend Ryan Kerrigan's golf charity drive yesterday. No way he didn't know this was coming.

Unless Jackson loses a step or has off-field problems, there's no choice between him and Garcon. Garcon simply ain't the athlete he used to be and was awful for the first half of last season.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Didn't realize that Roberts came from the Citadel as well...

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Likely creating flexibility for the Kendall Fuller contract

Really going out on a limb there
