Mason Foster release

[RunKijanaRun]

Given how shoddy our LB corps is, I wonder if we'll give him a look. Solid player.

we already have brown Inside...  Could be good insurance for us at that spot.. Not sure if brown or Foster can play will or sam

Leading Redskins tackler. What do who guys think?

Why was he released? Injury? Contract? Team chemistry?

[WhodeyRay]

Release for cap room. Saves 4 million to help get Trent Williams a new deal. I say sign him. Better than 5 if not 6 of our linebackers. Had 133 tackles last year.

He is certainly worth a look if cap casualty

I think that he would definitely be a solid pick up, and the price should be right in line as well.

Do it.

Can either He or Brown slide outside? is the question

Members who frequent the draft forum may remember I loved Mason coming out of college. But dude is now 30. We have an equally good MIKE who is 4 years younger. I think folks are going to be pleasantly surprised seeing a healthy Preston brown play. And have high hopes for Vigil and a couple of the youngsters

[jj22]

Can he play WILL?

[jj22]

Can he play WILL? We've seen a MIKE lb do it before (and do it well). We still need a starter at that spot.

I think the better question is can Foster play SAM. We have numerous players that can play WILL, Pratt, Vigil, Evans etc.

BTW, I do think Pratt can play SAM so that is nice. Vigil hasn't been great at SAM when he has played there though.

I would be for Foster but I agree with Bfine that Preston might play well this year if he can stay healthy.

I would like Trent Williams the most if we go after a Redskin.

from the Washington Post

Foster was considered a solid tackler, but he was not as adept in pass coverage as the team would have liked. He lost some goodwill in the organization after a private message from his Instagram account saying “F--- this team and this fanbase” was released publicly along with some other messages that included homophobic language. Foster apologized for the messages and said his cousin had been given access to the account.

The pass coverage issues are huge. Well that other stuff is a giant red flag too.

That's what I get for following these freaky ass rules

[SadFaceBengal15]

133 tackles. was a team captain. solid vet with plenty of tread left on the tires...sign him for camp. hes played at weak side before. 90% of his career however has been in the middle but bring the guy in. we need PROVEN contributors.
