True on all accounts.Couldn't stay healthy and a $4 million cheerleader isn't needed. Too bad about the injuries and I'm sure that he'll be a pro bowler next year.:irony:
They voided Philip Daniels contract too.
DE Phillip Daniels, meantime, has a contract for the next two years, but it voids automatically prior to the start of free agency, meaning the veteran will in fact be an unresticted free agent when the market opens on Thursday. Daniels is coming off of season-negating surgery and the Skins have displayed an interest in re-signing him, according to sources, but signing him now is not a priority and he will get a chance to see if other teams have interest.
When Daniels contract voids the Skins will get roughly $2 million in cap relief, though with just two NFL proven DEs under contract right now (Andre Carter and Jason Taylor), and Taylor a candidate to be a cap cut himself, the team will surely have to find an end or two, and that salary will eat back into that $2-million savings.
They'd be foolish not to draft but then again it is Vinny and Dan. If there is a 12 year veteran out there some where I'm sure he'll get an invite.
I was just going by this article:Well, the Skins didn't void the contract. Sounds like it's still up in the air.
Also in the article they mentioned a possible Shawn Springs cut. I wouldn't mind that since he can only stay healthy half the season. Plus it would save 6 mil.
Looks like a lot of changes.

Basically its just a matter of time I guess.The Redskins’ defensive end will be an unrestricted free agent Feb. 27 — the last two years of his contract were voided — who hopes there’s a market for a soon-to-be 36 year old coming off knee surgery.
- Phillip Daniels“Everyone is concerned about my age,” Daniels said. “I take care of myself. I’m not the type of guy to drink all the time and do crazy stuff. I lift right; I train right. I don’t feel a young guy can come in and do what I can do [against the run]. I’m one of the top five run stoppers in the league. That’s how I feel about myself. Some coaches have told me that, too.”
Yeah, I just read that.I was just going by this article:

I think they bag Hall. Only a matter of time.I'm glad they cut Washington. I would like to see Springs go also. I'm hoping they make a deal soon with Hall. I really like him.
...is what's next. Do they draft a prospect? Do they delve into the free agency market and get a mid-tier guy?
I think they bag Hall. Only a matter of time.
His hometown is Virginia. Family is here.
I just hope they don't break the bank.
No.You think they're gonna be willing to sign him as a #3/4 CB when other teams want him to start? I'm not feeling it. It would make more sense if they cut Springs. Otherwise with Springs, Rogers, and Smoot...he's not worth the money he'd be demanding.
He's a decent #3 WR but definitely not a #2 like they have him now.Cut Randle EL
Fan favorite and an all around good guy to meet. He actually wore hearing aids.Just heard they cut Reed Doughty, News 4 sports.
