I have no idea if the KO release is speculation or just came up with questions about playing time between him and the agent, trying to decide between Dallas and Jax. I was told that it's an "under the table" comment. He'll get to play at home now.

Hmmm. Seems more likely that he saw a chance to play with a better qb

The game is Thursday, why would we sign him on Friday?

That's what I was wondering. Don't know, and I haven't heard why.

Probably more to do with who they'd have to release to make room for him on the roster. Besides, it's not like he'd be ready to do anything by tomorrow.

Even NFL offices are closed on Thursday. That's why.

You tend to get open alot more often when teams arn't keying in on you.. it also helped that he was very good at finding soft spots in coverage when plays broke down.. another quality that has nothing to do with what "system" you are in.

LOL, in our system he was the 3rd or 4th option, depending on if Witten was going for a pass or not.

But what you're saying is so stupid it's funny in and of itself.

Again, he fit better into our system than anyone else's.

For what it's worth, Deadskins fans like him and wants Shanny to get him back. They want Banks replaced by Armstrong.

He came from a good West Texas team and was a playmaker for the Redskins for a while. He performed well against cowboys a couple games.

I hope not, Tree needs to go , the guy must have Jerry's pics or something , nobody gets this many chances . He once again proved he is a lazy ,stupid, unmotivated WR or may be his talent level is only that much.

Hope Harris fills in nicely and never let go

Doesn't hurt either that he had a much better QB throwing him the ball in Dallas than he does in Jacksonville.

You laugh at what i said.. then you agree with it.. then you insult it.

Again.. you have no idea what you're talking about.

This is the feedback I got from Redskins fans on my other board

He's been cut by the Redskins, Miami and Jacksonville all THIS YEAR. I'll be thrilled to see him wearing stars on his helmet.

the following year he fell off the planet.

Besides that he's fast and a good dude(meet him a few times)..heard the Cowboys were working him out and was wondering if it was for a roster spot or just info on Redskins offense.

It's simple. You're saying it's not the system. It's the player because he's not good enough to be the #1 guy.

We don't have a clear #1 guy in Dallas right now. Currently, Miles and Bryant are within 50 yards of each other in total receptions.

Witten isn't too far behind. All of those guys could get 1,000 yards this year.

Robinson finished the season, early, with around 252 yards and no TDs..

In our system he plays a different position. Thus, he fits better into it.

Hello!?!?!!! McFly??!?!!

His best year was in Garrett's offense, with Miles and Dez.

He had a great year with Romo.

Hence he fits better into our system.

These remarks are almost as stupid as the prior comments.

Don't be stupid....

Mmm'kay?

What exactly do you expect from a #3 WR? 25 receptions and 3 TDs is pretty solid for a #3 in an offense where you have legitimate #1 and #2 WRs and one of the best TEs in the league.
