The Redskins Continue to Add/Drop Players

After yesterday’s wide receiver stockpiling, you might have assumed they would slow down today.  Well, think again.  Albert Haynesworth has been traded to the New England Patriots for a 2013 fifth round pick.

It may not sound like a lot, but the mere fact that Haynesworth will no longer be in the Redskins locker room is reason enough to celebrate.

They’ve also released center Casey Rabach and running backs Andre Ware and Chad Simpson.  The Rabach axing will make a lot of Redskins fans happy as his quality of play has significantly decreased over the last several seasons.

Also, for those of you who were concerned with the number of receivers they added yesterday, fear not!  Brandon Stokley’s agent said he will not sign with the team because there are too many receivers, i.e. he has not shot at making the team.

The team also reached an agreement with Baltimore cornerback Josh Wilson, a former University of Maryland standout to a three year, $13.5 million contract.  Wilson was probably the Ravens best cornerback last season and has a lot of football in front of him.

This move basically seals the deal that Carlos Rogers will no longer be a Washington Redskin.  He’ll certainly demand a lot more money than Wilson did.  I think it’s a very good move.

So far, the Redskins have added Barry Cofield, Josh Wilson, and O.J. Atogwe on defense, and Santana Moss, Donte’ Stallworth, Jabar Gaffney, and Kellen Clemens on offense.

Now if they could only address the offensive line.  I say they go for Tampa Bay’s Davin Joseph at guard and Denver’s Ryan Harris at right tackle.

UPDATE (10:30 AM): Also released:  DE Phillip Daniels, NT Ma’ake Kemoeatu

UPDATE (11:30 AM): Also released:  WR Roydell Williams, P Sam Paulescu

    Well, The Bucs just resigned David Joseph. Did the Skins even try to contact his agent? I mean what is going on with this club? We need at least one more offensive lineman and it seems they have done nothing today in free agency. Maybe Joseph wanted to stay with his current team but this sucks. Is he not as athletic as Shanny likes his linemen to be?
