Hope so, but this could just be an attempt to squeeze a little more money out of the Skins.

Could be. I do hope they sign him, I think he would round out the DT group quite nicely. No pun intended.

 

[Deus Irae]

There's a chance. Don't know if I would characterize it as a "good" chance.

W @RLRBJMSU
@Rich_TandlerCSN is there a good chance they resign Knighton

Nothing imminent with Boldin or Knighton and Redskins at this point, I'm told.

I believe @MikeJonesWaPo tweeted this earlier as well but was told the Redskins are "holding tight" on Knighton 4 now

 

[strngplyr]

How was he last season? I know in 2013 he singlehandedly knocked us out of the playoffs but I don't recall even hearing his name mentioned over the last 2 seasons.

He shouldn't lean too much...he may fall over and cause an earthquake.

Now that IS interesting. I think he can eat up blockers. Figuratively if not literally.

 

[JackBauer]

Oh for the love of God, just sign here already.

The Redskins' run defense was bad when he was on the field and even worse when he wasn't. Given the surrounding cast, it's hard to definitively say much more than that. He didn't singlehandedly fix their run defense, not that anybody could have expected him to.

Interesting, considering his tweet seemed to be a slight shot at the Patriots and their intended use of him

But the new report was he met with the Pats yesterday (confirmed by Rapoport and Curran) and that tweet came Monday.. So it seems like it was about something different. Maybe he read something or was listening to something that mentioned him as being only a rotational player.

Definitely wouldn't read anything into that. Aside from the fact that he is a rotation player, it was the media using that word and he would be taking a shot at the reports about him, not "at the Patriots and their intended use". Drawing conclusions from tweets is a very inaccurate thing to do especially tweets from football players.

But drawing conclusions from texts, especially texts from football players' equipment assistants, is still perfectly legitimate.....

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Oh come on Bill, take him to ground round and get it done.

 

[BelichickFan]

If we sign him, I hope it's for more than 1 year. He'll be 30 in July so he should have 2-3 years left. With one year, he and Branch are both FA after this year. So while he'd be a nice 1 year fix, we'd need DT again in 12 months.

That's where he took Rodney. Lol.

I learned my lesson from Stevie Johnson last year. And John Abraham years before that.

I will not get excited until they say he signs here. No sir.

 

[aluminum seats]

Yeah, the back and forth w/news & waiting on guys to sign can be exhausting. I think he'd be a nice pick-up for the Pats, hope it works out, but all these guys with their "sources" is a bit much.

There should be a leaderboard of who gets stuff right and wrong, though. Like guys who are accurate are at the top, guys whose sources are always wrong would be like 20 over par, etc.

 

[IllegalContact]

so they'll be putting Branch in the Hicks role

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

It's the intangibles.
I guarantee that my man Vince Wilfork would give an excellent reference testimonial regarding the top notch training table food served by Kraft's football organization.
Give him Wilfie's cell #, Bill.
