The Redskins signed three of their 2006 draft picks on Monday, inking fifth-round defensive tackle Anthony Montgomery, sixth-round defensive tackle Kedric Golston and seventh-round linebacker Kevin Simon, the team announced.

To create roster space for the draft picks, the Redskins released five players: wide receiver Ron Johnson, defensive tackle Chris Mineo, linebacker Justin Stull, offensive lineman Daniel Martz and cornerback Chijioke Onyenegecha.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I figured Williams had taken an interest in him, but I guess I was wrong on that one. Williams took an interest in him alright, he made sure he put a checkmark next to his name on the cut list.

That is a strong possibility considering other teams are cutting players too. We may let some more people go, to make room for other players that we're interested in.

That was said here when they were drafted. Folks talked aboiut how Montgomery could be a greak "block eating" run stuffer, but Golston was a smaller penetrating DT. Not being a college football fan I prefer to wait and see them in action so I can formulate my own opinions. I am just thrilled we added THREE DTs to the competition. My buddy is a huge BYU fan and Mania (sp?) is supposedly an absolutely beast if (big if) he can stay healthy. We need help inside last year.

our coaches seem to like the injury plagued guys. sometimes you get a steal that way, like Ogunleye getting drafted in something like the 4th round because he was hurt in college. Williams said that since injuries are inevitable, they chose guys who have proven they can and will fight through it. some of these guys might have been first-day talents without the injury history.

I wouldn't say that I feel we target injury plagued players, but I think other teams are quicker to rule a guy out. Gibbs said it was much more important to see how the player responds to the injury, and I agree.

i also agree with that approach. i found the quote about the injuries, from Williams...

http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=17078

On the type of players that are at camp:
"The organization is really in tune from a personnel department and a coaching department on what kind of players we like having around. Coach Gibbs places a high priority on character and smart, tough players. You can get by with lesser ability as long as they are smart, tough, have good character and you know they are going to be out there every single day. That is the same kind of people that we have identified bringing in to this mini camp. We want to look at their longevity, trustworthiness, and their accountability in their college ranks too. Everybody is going to get nicked and injured but how do they bounce back from it? How do they fight through those kind of things? For the most part every one of these rookies that came out here have had to fight through some type of adversity in their young sports careers. That is going to be the same thing up here. They are going to have to fight through that. We did that last year. We got on a real tough part of the season and we could have folded our tents. But the leadership, because of the character that Joe Gibbs demands around, rose and led us through there."

I thought Montgomery was a bad pick and I didn't think he will provide much value because he is lazy. I saw three Minnesota games last year and the commentators were ripping him in each one for his performance. The fact that he missed the OTAs doesn't ease my concern.

I guess we will see - based on my recent history of predictions, he will probably be defensive rookie of the year and I'll buy his jersey next year.

i wont be surprised if he's one of the first to sign from the upper tier of picks. someone has to get it started like a domino effect and he might as well be the one. whatever percentage the rookie pool went up, just take that number as the increase over last year's pick at the same slot, then hammer out all the details. the redskins have been so consistent with contracts and details under Gibbs, not overpaying guys like Smoot and Pierce, then signing Moss, Randle El, Lloyd, Carter and Arch to similar deals with similar provisions... it's like "this is the way we do it here" and it gets done and everyone is happy or else they're gone.

i've often thought it must be tough to maintain comraderie in a profession where everyone knows what everyone else is making. can you imagine knowing the exact salary of your coworkers every time someone is hired or gets a raise? Gibbs is a genious, even though the salary cap era is new to him, he figured it out quickly and keeps everyone happy, everything is done fair and reasonable, with no damage to the chemistry.

Just as well that Okla corner got cut. Saves me the trouble of learning his name. If you are an undrafted rookie, you would think you got to at least come to practice everyday totally prepared. You can not go around missing assignments (only over-rated high picks like Lavar are allowed to do that!), if you want to have any chance of making the team.

Defensive tackle Anthony Montgomery, Washington's fifth-rounder, signed a deal that includes a bonus of $123,500. Defensive tackle Kedric Golston, the second of two sixth-rounders, signed a contract with $66,575 up front. Linebacker Kevin Simon, Washington's seventh-rounder, signed a deal with about $25,000 up front. All three moves happened on June 19. Guard Kili Lefotu, the third of the sixth-rounders, received $34,333 in bonus money on June 21. All four contracts are for three years. Only linebacker Rocky McIntosh, Washington's lone first-day choice (second round) remains unsigned.

nah, players would still need agents to advise them when theyre coming into the league, to find undrafted players tryouts for the summer, negotiate contract extensions or free agent contracts, structure or restructure contracts. stuff like that. so you couldnt truly eliminate agents. but maybe theyd play a lesser role and you wouldnt have agents holding players out of camp because the pick before and after theirs hasnt signed.

The 57th player chosen overall, Hester is the lone second-round pick so far to reach agreement ... There are only 21 draft choices with contracts leaguewide and Chicago, San Francisco and Washington have signed five selections each.

the Bears signed Hester, maybe Rocky signing will be soon to follow. this is the only 1st or 2nd round pick to sign so far other than the #1 overall pick.
I think you got to wait until some bottom tiern first rounders sign so the ceiling can be set. We will see but since it is our only signing left and he is a 2nd rounder I don't see any problem in getting him in by start of training camp.

rocky was never predicted to be a first rounder (like smoot was) so i do not think the negotiations should be that contentious. if anything he was taken higher than a lot of folks predicted.. it will come down to who represents him and how strongly he wants to be in camp on day 1 (he damn well better !!)

Does anyone know who Rocky's agent is? Is there a list anywhere of the players and their agents?

All I know is that we are down to signing Rocky-Mac, which is good considering we have a great deal of new people at the Park. I don't think that we will have a hard time signing him. I hope he is ready to play. I am not excited about Holdman starting, but preseason should weed him out. Unless he steps up, and if he does than I will support him.

Kili Lefotu, I am glad we signed him I had not seen it anywhere, so that is good news for the O-line.

In a scrimmage last weekend Ramsey was 4-of-9 for 33 yards, two of those passes were batted down.:banghead:

The Ramsey Watch belongs in the Player Movement thread along w/the Lavar Watch, Matt Bowen Watch, & Robert Royal Watch. And by the way, on Monday Lavar missed his 3rd consecutive practice with a swollen knee, the same one he had scoped in '04 & '05.

The Redskins have signed second-year safety Ben Emanuel, the team announced on Tuesday. To make room for Emanuel, the team released safety Dennard Wilson.

Interesting news. I guess Doughty doesn't have a spot locked up yet.

Here is his draft profile (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2005/emanuel_ben)

And His NFL.com bio (http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/410227)

The page would load for me, but OurLads (http://www.ourlads.com/secure/depthchart.cfm?index1=was) is a decent site and they have him listed as #5 on the depth chart!!??

Interesting development, but I really would be fine with RD spending a year on the PS.

Emanuel seems to have adequate measurables, but I don't like the fact that he was cut so early by maybe the worst team (SF) in the League. That's not exactly a strong resume.

I think it has more to do with having bodies in camp and Dennard Wilson wasn't going to play with that injury.

That's not up to me but it would seem better suited for the Ramsey thread in the All Nfl forum since this is news about a player from another team.

Not that anyone's particularly interested in his progress up North, but according to the Jet's website-Ramsey recently had a dissapointing mini-camp.

Shouldn't be talking about this in this thread. Ramsey is an ex-Redskins and should be discussed in the NFL forum.

that might just be it.. not enough bodies out there so that one of the starters might have to play more than they want

Glad I checked here, I was about to post it, saw you guys are on it. I agree, by having him in, we keep the roster serious, just in case, and yet, keep the starters in lesser roles in preseason.

that's true but at least he had to have personal references from Carter and Lloyd. plus Nolan is an idiot. he did start a few games, and he's 6'-2...maybe Nolan thought he was too tall. or maybe he wanted him to play corner, kinda like how he switched Carter to linebacker after he got 12 sacks at DE.

exactly.. nolan can get the worst out of anyone..

at the worst he gives us another body for special teams and for preseason games

-- MINEO RE-SIGNED
The Redskins signed defensive tackle Chris Mineo on Wednesday. To make room for Mineo, the team released defensive tackle Manaia Brown.

the revolving door... mineo was previously cut this preseason.. although i thought brown might have a better chance

the guy has played in the NFL and he's even started, so he might be better than the guys we have behind Taylor, Arch and Prioleau, even if he does come from the worst team with the lamest head coach. i like Doughty but this signing gives us some insurance just in case.

and you're right about the bodies. the coaches have to have plenty of guys for practice and Dennard Wilson was hurt, and other guys might get banged up or need a rest from time to time.

i wish Ryan Clark would have just stayed around, but this guy was probably the best option out there at this point.

it had to be either arch or clark, not both and i am convinced we came out better on that.
i like the signing on the basis of his measurables. the atitude is what we will have to see. getting him away from the toxic niner atmosphere has to help. both carter and lloyd look to be fine characters and i am sure they had a comment on emanuel for the staff.. the rest will be up to him
