Lorenzo Alexander has become the Redskins’ latest cap casualty. Alexander was a special teams Pro Bowler last season and had been with Washington since 2006. He was a captain and an emotional leader for the Redskins, but with their current cap restrictions, the team couldn’t compete with the financial firepower of other teams.

Arizona signed Lorenzo to a three-year, $9 million deal with $3 million guaranteed per @DavidElfin.

 It’s official, I’m an Arizona Cardinal! I appreciate all the love an Support I received in DC.

]]> Every year each and every NFL team has players that rise from relative obscurity to become significant contributers.  Whether it is from the bench, the practice squad, or because of a second chance, the Redskins will have players who may have had insignificant roles in 2010, make an impact in 2011.  Last year players like Anthony Armstrong at WR, Lorenzo Alexander at OLB, and Ryan Torain at RB come to mind.   This year their will inevitably be a  new crop of players who make strides to become important pieces of this team and these are a few of the candidates.

    Jeremy Jarmon

    Jeremy Jarmon has the potential to be a significant improvement to the D-line

    Jarmon was basically our third round pick in last year’s draft after we forfeited it to get him in the third round of the supplemental draft in 2009.  It blows my mind that Vinny Cerrato and Jim Zorn could be so boneheaded to spend a third round pick in the supplemental draft but hey, it’s not the only time they blew my mind with stupidity.  The fact of the matter is that they picked Jarmon for a reason, and while they probably gave up too much for him, he can play.  Through his first two years he has experienced a season ending knee injury, a coaching staff telling him to lose weight to be a line backer, and then gain it all back to become a 3-4 end.  At 6-3, 295, he has the size to play end in Haslett’s 3-4 scheme and if healthy, provides an injection of youth and an improvement to a D-line of which no member contributed more than 2.5 sacks last year.  If we don’t draft a DE with our first pick in the draft, Jarmon should be starting and should have a chance to break out in 2011.
