Derrick Dockery wasn’t the only member of the Washington Redskins to get sent packing today. Defensive end Andre Carter was also cut loose after a season in which he struggled to make the transition to being an outside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme. Carter becomes the third high-profile player released in two days as the Redskins began purging Monday when running back Clinton Portis was released. Carter, a favorite of former defensive coordinator Greg Blache, was owed a bonus this offseason of $4.075 million, according to the Washington Post. The 10-year veteran likely can help someone. He had 11 sacks in 2009 when he was also credited with helping bring along rookie Brian Orakpo. Source: National Football Post
Agreed. I've always been a fan of his (Cal homer of course) and I think he's been badly misused both in SF and Washington. His best seasons (and they were pretty good) have been as a hands down DE, I don't know why teams keep trying to move him to LB.
Ya know hes taken the switches to the 3-4 in SF and WAS like a man unlike Haynesworth. He had like 12.5 sacks in SF then the 3-4 came and he had like 3. Same thing happened in Washington.
