per Jason Cole twitter - Redskins have released Gaffney (CONFIRMED)

[TK]

Jabar will be snapped up. He's a good chain moving receiver with pretty good hands.!

Statements like this are the results of watching decades of bad offenses.

Gaffney was a master of catching ten yard passes & falling backwards for three. Over a decade in the League & never once had a 1,000 yard season.

But hey, he gets "hacked" on twitter so he at least has that going for him.

[WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3]

I wonder why he was released now instead of using him as a capable body through training camp, and who knows, maybe another team loses a WR to injury and then Gaffney is tradeable.

I wonder if he was adamant about keeping his #10, and the staff just figured it wouldn't be worth the training camp/OTA drama if he complained about it through the media while the team is trying to gel. I can't imagine why else he'd be let go right now.

They probably didn't want him stealing reps from the new/young guys like Garcon, Morgan, Hank and Aldrick Robinson. Add that to the fact that they couldn't find a trade partner and they had no reason to hold on to him.

[B&GVol24]

I felt like this was coming ever since his twitter meltdown (not that I'm suggesting that was the reason).

Anyway, thanks for the season, Jabar.

1. Garcon
2. Morgan
3. Moss
4. Hankerson
5. Robinson
6. Paul*
7. AA/Austin

I think it's possible we only roll w/ 6 and AA and Austin are both gone. More depth at other positions now, and I'm expecting Robinson to take over Banks duties.

*I know Paul has been working at TE, but does anyone know if he'll be listed as one or still as a WR?

AAA to follow soon if Minicamp shows any promising prospects

I personally think AAA would excel with RG3's deep ball accuracy. I would wait and see how that works out before cutting him.
Speed kills.

We traded Jeremy Jarmon a 4-3 DE that would have been released anyway. He didn't make Denver's roster and as far as I know is no longer in the league.

Another wasted draft pick by Vinny btw.

He wont be dealing much with RG3 unless he can beat press coverage

[Kindred]

A shame this might have been over a number instead of competing for a spot.

[redskindan07]

He should be able to catch on with another team fairly quick I would guess

[rk3025]

Only fair to give him a chance to hook up with a team Before mini camps.
See a lot of Wide Receivers coming in Thursday.

Helps if you can beat bump coverage & run the routes correctly too.

His injury last year had a lot to do with that and by the time he was fully recovered the season was lost and the evaluation process began.
I fully expect him to contribute at a high level if given the chance.

Kinda sucks we couldn't get any value for him.

Didn't we give up a draft pick to get him?

We traded Jeremy Jarmon for him (who then got released). And we got nearly 1000 yards out of him and now nearly 3 mill in cap space. A 2013 pick would have been great, but I think we made out just fine.

edit: of course I was second...or maybe third. Haha

and it's 2.650 mill in space. That makes ~4 mill after Beck and him...anyone know where we stand cap wise?

I was thinking the same think. I like AA and really like his story, but if you cant overcome physical corners you're not going to last long. And it seems we have some pretty serious upgrades at WR now.

[Hiro]

Getting younger at receiver, it's obvious they want the younger guys to step up. Farewell Gaffney.

[jsharrin55]

Another wasted draft pick by Vinny btw.

He had a lot of really dumb picks, but this one I liked at the time. The switch to 3-4 and a few other things worked against him. Probably wouldn't have made it anyways, but I remember many being happy about the pick.
