Big Rick in FL : 7/25/2016 3:26 pm
Per Rand Getlin on Twitter. Big loss for the Skins.
didn't he miss all last year too

after getting himself thrown off the Saints?
I'd make a snide comment..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/25/2016 3:28 pm : link
about his character, but seems like the Redskins have some fans here that look down at that type of thing like when that upstanding guy DeAngelo Hall suffered the same injury.
Come on FMiC, it's never a good look

Shame

It's gonna be harder for him to hit women with belts without that closing speed
Whoops, forgot it's the guy that took off his belt in Miami

He was supposed to be

a significant factor for their pass rush.

And I believe that's his 2nd major leg injury.

He was a Redskin last year and missed the entire season with an Achilles.

Fork...?
His missed his window this January..

Then it would truly be Groundhog Day right now, just a month earlier than 2015.
Sucks for the Skins

Absolutely penciled in as a starter.2013-2014 he had over 20 sacks.
Our OL just got a little bit better

is a short career. His may be over.

But if an injury is going to happen, better the Redskins than us. Ouch!
I don't want to dance on his grave, but the entirety ...

Nope, ESPN said it was the other one. What bad luck.

The Redskins moves or lack thereof of late

are quite disconcerting..Normally they would pick up a Freeney, but they're gonna pass and go with the kids..This is not right..

Snyder and Jones are my two favorite owners. Both have egos and both have bought players they should not have and drafted players they should not have. They haven't been winning for years now.

That isn't to say Reese and Mara haven't made mistakes because they have as well, especially those fruitless 2008 to 2013 drafts which have left this team a shell of its former self (2007 - 2011).

2008-2010 were pretty good drafts!

I would disagree. A lot of guys from say 2008 (Phillips and Thomas) never lived up to expectations, mostly due to injury. 2009 to 2012 were most certainly terrible.
Phillips and Thomas were very solid players before their injuries  
David in LA : 7/26/2016 1:17 am : link
robbed them of what should have been their best years. By that measure was Jason Sehorn a disappointing pick too?

2008 wasn't as bad as 2009 to 2012, can we agree on that much? Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game and unfortunately come into play when assessing a draft's overall productiveness.

For example, LB Jonathan Goff basically had one really good year then ACL injury. He would have been good along with Phllips and Thomas.
Don't wish bad on anyone....  
Bluesbreaker : 7/26/2016 8:57 am : link
but that would make me a hypocrite I have said at times that
I wish a guy like Brian Dawkins and Andre Watters and
Ray Lewis among others basically cheap shot artists and
basic criminals ....
I don't know what Gallette did but tough luck to the Skins
we have had our fair share.....
