FOR Starters, Thank you to Hogs Haven for providing the above image which perfectly describes The Redskins Offseason thus far. Hogs Haven: "A Lot Better than GRGGD!"
That being said, it continues to be an eventful offseason for the 'Skins. The most recent moves are bringing back OG Derrick Dockery after two(2) years in Buffalo and releasing DE
It comes as a bit of a surprise that Jason Taylor was given his walking papers after only one(1) year in which he placed second on Dancing with the Stars, got into a fight with Bill Parcells at his former team in Miami because he spent the offseason dancing instead of training, got traded to The Redskins for two(2) future draft picks and a nice lump sum of Ca$h, missed half of the season battling injuries including a sprained knee and a rare calf injury that no one had ever heard of and probably never will again, and was due to cost the team a cool 8 million in the '09 season. Yep. Surprising to say the least.
But in actuality, it was the opinion of most (myself included) that Taylor was ready to come back for the '09 year, and that with some of the upgrades the team has made, this would have been a more on par year for the veteran. That was until Redskins frontmen Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato requested that the $500,000 bonus that Taylor was due to receive be converted into an exercise, health and wellness bonus where if he showed up for 29 of the teams offseason workouts, the cheddar was his. Taylor balked at this request (for those keeping track at home, that amounts to $17,241 per workout) and was dropped like a sack of dirt by the team. This leaves us with some holes to fill on the defensive line, but also with a little bit of money to do it.
