Jerametrius Butler Released by Rams... signed by Skins

[silverbear]

Washington will sign him and we'll hear from Skins fans how great he is.

Naw, the Skins are set at cornerback, with all-World Fred Smoot and Pro Bowler In The Making David Macklin signed... Carlos Rogers is in jeopardy of losing his starting job...

At least, that's what they say over at Extremeskins...

 

[silverbear]

As for Reeves, he's not a starter and never will be, nor will Nate Jones. Cowboys showed exactly what they thought of both Reeves and Jones when they only tendered minimum for them.

The drafting of Brown and Ball said a lot, too...

If Butler is fully healthy, he's considerably better than either Reeves or Jones... I'm not down on those two, they're not bad for bottom of the roster fill-ins, but Butler would be an upgrade over both...

The key phrase here being "if Butler is fully healthy"... that's a BIG if...

he situation reminds me of bryant westbrook

a solid and well regarded corner back during his prime but is also plagued by injuries

 

[JonJon]

I think the Cowboys should look at this guy before injuries he was a good cover corner, he could be a nice veteran addition at CB.

Nah, I would much rather draft Georgia CB Paul Oliver in the supplemental draft. At least he has potential to be a #1 CB someday.

Why would anyone not want to bring a player in that would be a low risk money wise and could be a guy worth a look? Anyone remember Marc Columbo?

Colombo had the kind of talent and upside that made him a first round pick. Butler...not so much.

 

[dogunwo]

No room at the inn.

 

[dogunwo]

The guy is worth a look. Let him compete for one of the three final spots. If he isn't back to his previous form, cut him.

You have to commit money to him to even go that route first. Don't think the Cowboys would, or should go there.

He just signed with Washington, according to ExtremeSkins. Good call whoever said that earlier in this thread.

Yeah, they were set prior to this. :laugh2:

 

[apickmans]

not a surprise signing at all. Once I saw he was released I figured we would go after him. We tried to sign him a few years ago but the rams matched our offer.

You mean, "We tried to sign him a few years ago before the injuries started to affect his level of play but the rams matched our offer.", right?

A whole lot of posters at ES seem surprised and are questioning why sign him...

And now because his play has diminished so the Rams flat out cut him.

The Commander fans have been saying ever since the draft that the reason they haven't gotten any DL this offseason is because they didn't need any.

They said the reason they only had 19 sacks all last season is because the LB's and the DB's sucked... and now that they have shored up the DB's and LB's... they'll get a lot of sacks this season.

Then in that ES thread, a Commanders fan writes:

Another DB? Man, are we going to get a lot of sacks or what?!?!?!

And another:

Geez guys I only stated this months ago. It's part of the new-look Williams defense. it's called a 3-8.

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

 

[BouncingCheese]

Let the Commanders have them; they are 5.5 million dollars under the cap and they haven't signed any draft players... This is the best they can afford to do.. Even if he plays well, it won't matter; THEY HAVE A TERRIBLE DEFENSIVE LINE with no depth! You can't cover forever!

 

[apickmans]

Hey i never said i liked the signing. I have not seen a lot of him to be honest (prob cuz of the injuries). Its not like hes gonna be starting for us and playing a lot of minutes. Hopefully he stays healthy.

Btw Im all for that new 3-8 Defense. GW is gonna revolutionize a whole new scheme i tell ya

lol....."I wish we'd have used that money on Ken Hamlin."

owned.

I like that 3-8.

Almost as much as I like the fact that the Commanders are idiots. Last year they stockpile RBs (who didn't play, altho draft picks were surrendered), this year it's defensive backs, who won't play - and their pressure issue is ignored.

Great plan.

Yep. As a Cowboy fan, I'm really glad that they didn't sign Hamlin and then pickup someone at #6 in the draft like Jamaall Anderson for the DL. I think that would have been much better for the Commanders. Luckily, they didn't think so.

Butler was signed to compete for the 4th corner spot.

The top 3 corners are set in Washington: Springs, Rogers, Smoot.

Spots 4 and 5 are up for competition: Macklin, Butler, Jimoh, Westbrook.
