Flemister?????

Flemister has a healthy contract, one that I'm surprised that was given to him in the first place. I wonder what the cap implications would be if we were to let him go.

Haven't they seen enough already?

i dont think we need him. i really like robert royal.

Times reports they will put any kind of a deal off until next week.

Chamberlain is a temporary solution. He can't contribute 4 years down the road. Which is where we need to be looking. Because the Redskins window of opportunity is only just beginning to squeak open.

And I wouldn't want a temporary solution taking away any playing time for Royal either. One way or the other - we need to find out if Royal is a keeper. Or if we need to shop around in the off-season. Play Royal, find out what he's got.
