how about the players that walked in
free agency to get them for the Skins? The 5 o’clock club is published Wednesday to Saturday during the season Adrian Peterson Jersey Elite , and aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn’t much NFL news being published. Feel free to introduce topics that interest you in the comments below.Compensatory picks look safeRedskins are still on track to get a 3rd, 5th, and two 6th round compensatory picks in next year’s draft according to OverTheCap.I thought it might be interesting to see what has happened so far to four of the players the Redskins allowed to walk in a free agency period that is on track to bring in the Redskins’ biggest ever haul of compensatory draft picks.Let’s start with a brief look at the highest profile player in the Redskins (outgoing) free agent class of 2018.A tie is like kissing your CousinsThe third round pick that will likely be awarded to the Redskins is for Kirk Cousins, whom the Redskins drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 draft.The Shanahans, and later Jay Gruden and Sean McVay, taught him to be an NFL quarterback, and developed him into his role as a 3-year starter.His 6-year journey with the Redskins took him from being an afterthought among NFL quarterbacks to the most discussed player and sought-after free agent in the 2018 off-season.Somehow, a 3rd round draft pick as recompense seems anticlimactic.Kirk Cousins was last seen throwing a loss-sealing interception with 97 seconds on the clock during the final drive against the Packers http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/adrian-peterson-jersey , in a scene that was eerily familiar to Redskin fans.But wait! There was a yellow flag, and a criminally negligent call of roughing the passer on Clay Matthews that gave the ball back to the Vikings offense.On three plays in the final 2 minutes of the game, Packers players got their hands on Kirk Cousins passes, but none, bar the disallowed interception, came down with possession to end the game.The Vikings and Packers went on to play the new shorter 10-minute overtime period.Cousins drove his team down to field goal range, and — with just seconds left in overtime, in a scene that must’ve been eerily familiar to Kirk Cousins — the Vikings kicker missed the field goal to end the division battle in a tie.I imagine we’ll see similar scenes from the Vikings and their $84m franchise quarterback (though not the same placekicker) all season Authentic D.J. Swearinger SR Jersey , and the comparisons between the Vikings signal caller and Alex Smith will go on for years on Hogs Haven and elsewhere.Three more compensatory picksBut there were three other players not named Kirk Cousins who were instrumental in adding 2019 Redskins draft capital to the upcoming April draft.I found myself wondering how three players who were on the field for the Redskins this time last season — Ryan Grant, Terrelle Pryor and Spencer Long — are faring with their new teams.Grant, as you probably know, is playing for the Colts, and visited FedEx Field this past Sunday.Long and Pryor, meanwhile, are teammates with the Jets, and were last seen on Thursday night in the Battle for the Bud Lite.Dilly D.J. Swearinger SR Jersey Elite , dilly.For analysis on what’s been happening with these three ex-Redskins so far in the 2018 season, I turned to Chris West (@westcoast_skins) for some film review.Chris’ analysis of Grant, Pryor and LongRyan GrantThe crossing routeGrant versus the RedskinsChris’ bottom line on Ryan GrantWin-win.Terrelle PryorLet’s look at Pryor versus the DolphinsOne more play from PryorChris’ bottom line on Terrelle PryorIn fact, I suspect the front office will be downright tickled to get a 6th round pick as a reward for the monumental failure that the Pryor signing represented. Spencer LongTechnically, the loss of Spencer Long was offset by the signing of Paul Richardson in free agency; the 5th round pick the Redskins will likely be awarded is connected to Trent Murphy’s signing with the Bills, but Long actually played for the Redskins for part of the 2017 season, while Murphy — who was on IR all of last year — hasn’t been on the field for the Redskins since 2016.So I made a judgement call and asked Chris West to look at Spencer Long on film.Here’s what he had to say.Let’s look at his playLet’s look at one more play by Spencer LongChris’ bottom line on Spencer LongHow many fans would have been happy to see the front office spend another $4.4m to keep Long in burgundy and gold this year instead of relying on Lauvao?Daily Slop: Redskins Media Links Roundup Is It Dez Bryant Time For the Redskins? | Czabe.comRedskins Weekly Stat Ranking Update: 10/2Check out where the Washington Redskins rank statistically both as a team and individually through the first four weeks of the 2018 season.The Alex Smith Report: Episode 5Who impressed Alex over the weekend with no football, how Drew Brees is so effective at his height http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/d.j.-swearinger-jersey , the differences between playing on a regular Sunday vs Monday night, and Q's for the QB.Redskins Sign Mack Brown To The Practice SquadThe Washington Redskins on Tuesday made a roster move, signing running back Mack Brown to the practice squad.The Redskins and 106.7 The Fan?
