Another RG on the market. I didn't see this posted earlier, so apologies if it was already out there. I know a lot of talk here about interior offensive line starting calibre players. I would be interested to know how he graded out last year.

I saw that too, give him a look I guess. But if he can't make it on that line, that's a pretty bad sign.

 

[Hayden Fox]

We got Dallas Thomas. He is fine...

They said in the article that he didn't fit Grudens power blocking scheme. I can almost guarantee he's better than Dallas Thomas. If we don't sign him I'll be upset.

Redskins released RG Chris Chester.
Chester, 32, has started all 64 games for Washington the past four seasons, but isn't a fit for coach Jay Gruden's power-blocking scheme at just 305 pounds. The veteran remained a serviceable guard last season, especially in pass protection, so he should get another look. The Redskins save $4 million against the cap with the move.

Is he related to Larry Chester?

 

[Hayden Fox]

Why not try to sign him and have them all compete? Them being so intrigued with Thomas is so maddening.

 

[Njphinsfan]

Sign him up, please. We need to find players who are better than Thomas, although I think we have a few on the roster but coaches think Thomas is a star...

 

[BigNastyFish]

is he a FA or have to clear waiver?

 

[miami234ever]

Definitely worth a look. He should be able to lock up one of the starting jobs here. Does anyone know his PFF ranking?

 

[NY8123]

Free agent. He will be able to sign anywhere. This might be intriguing for Miami.

 

[nick1]

Pff gave him a negative grade for the year. Take it for what its worth

 

[artdnj]

Sounds like he sux but question is does he suck worse than Thomas? My $$$ is on the hog.

 

[uk_dolfan]

unless he can play LG then pass, Billy Turner will be a stud and its time for him to start,

Hayden, In all due respect, you have been on, and on, and on about Dallas. Could you tell us what you actually saw, in his 6 games at OG, that has you hating him soooo much?

It cannot be getting RT killed as 0 sacks and 2 hits did not do that. So, what is it, and refer me to games when he played OG?
