I think there was another DB that wasn't all that good here - can't think of his name, Al something I think - that went to Green Bay and played well there. Edit: It was Al Harris and he was something of a penalty machine here. At Green Bay he got 2 Pro Bowls and one second team all pro. And now he's working with the CowPukes secondary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what info has been reported, sounds like a mutual parting, but if anything, it might be moreso on LV’s side since he has significant injury guarantees in his contract. He in anyway gets hurt at their practice facility or stadium, and they’re on the hook for that cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EazyEaglez Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 "The Washington Commanders will start Taylor Heinicke at quarterback in Sunday's regular-season finale vs. the Dallas Cowboys, a move that all but signals the end of Carson Wentz's tenure in Washington, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports via John Keim of ESPN.com This according to sources. Rookie quarterback Sam Howell will finish the game, per sources. The moves come one week after the Commanders gambled that Wentz's return as the starter could spark an offense that had struggled to score. But that failed, as Cleveland beat Washington 24-10, and the Commanders managed only 260 yards -- their third-lowest total of the season. Wentz threw for just 124 yards and was intercepted three times, and the Commanders (7-8-1) were eliminated from playoff contention. Dallas (12-4) can still clinch the NFC East with a win and a loss by the Philadelphia Eagles. Wentz will be inactive in what almost assuredly will be his last game with Washington. He has two years left on his contract, but with no guaranteed money. The Commanders could cut him without any money counting toward their salary cap.” https://theredzone.org/Blog-Description/EntryId/27225/Sources--Taylor-Heinicke-to-start--Sam-Howell-to-play-in-Commanders--finale Once again Wentz is benched. People still think this guy has a future in this league. Tell me what team is desperately looking for a 30 year old quarterback who can’t stay healthy, and threw for 124 yards and three picks against the Browns while they were fighting for their playoff lives?

I just don’t get the whole thinking your smarter than everyone one else with these conversion attempts. If you want a LB just take a player that has already proven himself at the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with that side of it, but they did draft him to be a starter nonetheless. That’s also around the place where they believe they can take starting level linebackers. Gerry didn’t fit the bill ultimately, but that’s because Howie tried to over think the processes. I guess it’s hard for me not to call a failed experiment a failure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was drafted in the fifth round, got almost no snaps in year 1 and only played sparingly in year 2. I mean, I guess every player is drafted with the intention that they could one day start potentially? Gerry ended up starting because, before very recently, we chronically undervalued the LB position, but that still doesn't mean Howie was sitting there in the 2017 draft crossing his fingers to that a college safety would fall to him in the fifth round so he could three years later be inserted into the lineup as a starting linebacker.

Howie drafted a safety and turned him into a linebacker, because he thought it would work. It didn’t. It failed. Davion Taylor didn’t play much as a rookie either. Doesn’t mean they had no intentions of eventuality playing him a lot more. They did until that failed too. Also if the Eagles just viewed Gerry as just a special teams player then why change his position at all? Obviously they had plans for him. It didn’t work out.
