Whoooo!
Now hopefully he can stay out of trouble and get back to even a frction of he force that he once was.
I have to just add a personal note here... while I have no idea whether or not Russell is guilty of all, any or none of the things he has been accused of... I saw him on the Ben Stein show a couple of years back, and he was just a nice, quiet guy.
So who knows? Maybe he will work out fine.

He was a force to be reckoned with before too... so hopefully he can use this time to 'prove his worth' to the rest of he NFL for next year's contract negotiations.
I can hoestly say that not only was he ON the Ben Stein show, he was honestly one of the most unassuming, gentle bear type players that I ever saw on the show.

Texas Hog wrote:so if he kicks ass this season, do we lose him like we did Gardner last off-season? I know that's speculative, but just wanted to know your thoughts.
I'd say that with the cap issues we're gonna have to contend with (to keep champ, Lavar etc)... there won't be much more $$$$ around, so we'll have to wait and see.
HOWEVER... ya think the Redskins braintrust isn't wishing they'd upped a little more to Gardener? Still... he got overpaid... can't much blame the FO on Gardener... management behaved responsibly and there's nothing wrong with that.

As I've said many times...I absolutely hated to see Gardner go...but you're right the FO acted responsibly and he was overpaid by Denver. It'll be interesting to see what happens for the remainder of the season and the upcoming offseason and the handling of the cap room or lack there off....regardless of how we perform on the field....we can only get better...let's hope.
God bless our troops and Joe Gibbs.
We'll miss you, Joe.
#21 gone, but never forgotten.

God, from my heart to the D-line, I hope this dude works out.
Can anyone assess how long it will take him to get into shape after being out of the league for so long?

Hopefully we won't let him go after a great year to sign two more florida WR's.

He's reportedly gonna play 10-15 snaps against Dallas, so apparently... the team think in shape or out of shape... he's an improvement.
It'll take at least 3 games to get into anything close to decent game shape though... probably more.
Still... better prospectus than we had yesterday
