			<title><![CDATA[Redskins re-sign running back Tim Hightower on one-year deal]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[When the Washington Redskins traded for Tim Hightower before the 2011 season, it looked like a great marriage of a one-cut, zone-running system and an under-the-radar back. Hightower tore his ACL in Week 7 against the Panthers and Roy Helu blew up down the stretch, so it seemed like it might be the end of things.But it's not! Hightower is returning to the Redskins in 2012, according to Hightower and the Redskins.

I'm baaaaaaaack twitter.com/Tim_Hightower/&hellip;
&mdash; Tim Hightower (@Tim_Hightower) May 14, 2012

Just in case you don't trust athletes on Twitter, the Redskins have since confirmed the signing, announcing Hightower's return as a "playmaker and a leader.""You don't know for sure if a running back is a three-down back," Shanahan said. "Can he handle the blitz, can he run the football and catch the ball? "From what I've seen since he's been here, [Hightower] can do all three."Hightower may need additional time to recover from his injury and Helu is still the better choice to start at running back. (Hightower only averaged 3.82 yards per carry for the Skins through five games.) But he'll apparently serve as a mentor in addition to carrying the rock."I appreciate Tim's leadership," Helu said. "That's my man right there, and I count him in when I think about next season."Mike Jones of the Washington Post believes there's a "good chance" that Hightower could end up becoming the starter again. The logic for giving Hightower the most snaps is that he could provide the most pass protection for rookie Robert Griffin III. Additionally, studies have shown in many instances that adding a mobile quarterback to an offense will increase the production of the rushing attack, so Hightower could see a boost in his stats next year.And because we're talking about a Mike Shanahan team we're talking about, literally anything is possible with respect to the depth chart.<br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/>

			<title><![CDATA[RB Hightower could be starter if healthy]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[RB Tim Hightower should enter training camp as the No. 1 back, provided his left knee has recovered from the torn ACL. Hightower was the most complete back on the roster, though Roy Helu and Evan Royster combined for five 100-yard rushing games in his absence. None of them are elite backs, but Hightower provides the most all-around game because of his pass protection skills.<br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/>

			<title><![CDATA[Former Redskins WR Art Monk latest player to join concussion lawsuit against NFL]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[





Art Monk and 62 others have filed suit against the league and helmet manufacturer Ridell, Inc.(Getty Images) 



 Hall of Fame wide receiver Art Monk has joined more than 2,000 former players in suing the NFL for the effects of concussions suffered during their playing careers. According to the Washington Times, Monk -- and 62 others -- has also filed suit against helmet manufacturer Riddell Inc. over &ldquo;short-term memory loss, headaches and speech difficulties&rdquo; due to multiple concussions sustained during his 16-year career, 14 of which were spent with the Redskins. He and former teammate Mark Rypien are two of the highest-profile former Redskins to file suit, and at least 140 former Washington players are involved in lawsuits. Rypien's suit against the league came in March of this year. Monks group is represented by Girardi Keese, the firm that filed the first concussion-related lawsuit on behalf of former players against the NFL in July 2011. They're also the same firm that represented Erin Brockovich in the mid-1990s. Monk's suit contends that the NFL concealed the long-term effects of concussions while "engaging in a long-running course of negligent and fraudulent conduct. Players who suffered concussions were told by the NFL and its agents not to be overly concerned and were regularly returned to game action mere minutes after sustaining them." The suit adds that it wasn't until 2010 that the league or Riddell informed players of the long-term risks. The NFL has denied concealing such information. Monk, now 54, registered 940 receptions for 12,721 yards, including 68 touchdowns during a career that spanned 16 seasons and three teams from 1980 to 1995. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2008. NFLconcussionlitigation.com first reported Monk's involvement in the lawsuit against the NFL.

			<title><![CDATA[Report: Texans sign former Redskins quarterback John Beck]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[





Beck's bringing his skills to Houston. (Getty Images) 



John Beck was dumped by the Redskins after Washington decided to draft Kirk Cousins in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft (along with Robert Griffin III in the first round). But he didn't last long as a free agent, and he was reportedly signed by the Texans on Wednesday.That's according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle, who correctly points out that Beck makes sense in Houston given his familiarity with the system that Gary Kubiak runs. Kubiak is a Mike Shanahan prot&eacute;g&eacute; and recently employed Kyle Shanahan as his offensive coordinator.Beck's not the type of guy you want starting for your team (see: the 2011 Washington Redskins), but he's potentially a capable backup to the backup in Houston. Matt Schaub is clearly the starter, and it stands to reason that second-year player T.J. Yates, who performed down the stretch after being thrown in the proverbial fire for Houston, will be second on the depth chart.The Texans signed local star Case Keenum as an undrafted free agent, but Beck provides a veteran with in-game experience and a familiarity with the system. So in that sense, he's kind of like a poor man's Jake Delhomme. Or, um, something.

			<title><![CDATA[Robert Griffin III begins task of protecting his brand name]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[





RGIII understandably wants to be the one to cash in on his name. (Gatorade) 



Robert Griffin III will be, no question, the Redskins starting quarterback when the team enters training camp, but before all that, the former Baylor star is trying to get a jump on his competition. Oh, not necessarily by working out extra hard or studying the playbook extra long.No, I mean, in the fight to trademark and protect what will be a huge brand if he becomes one of the next big NFL stars.As changelegal.com points out, Griffin has created his own company called Thr3escompany, LLC while applying for patents for four trademarks -- RGIII, RG3, Robert Griffin III and Unbelievably Believable. Unbelievably Believable? What is that?Watch this from CBS News.The RGIII, RG3, and Robert Griffin III filings were made to the U.S. Patent and Trade Office for &ldquo;shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, pants, shorts, footwear, hats, caps, athletic uniforms&rdquo; (and thankfully not for &ldquo;somewhat-informative blog posts&rdquo;), but the Unbelievably Believable filing is for &ldquo;promoting the goods and services of others, sponsorship of sports and athletic events and activities.&rdquo;Obviously, it's a smart (and well-rounded) move by Griffin to get this taken care of before he (possibly) becomes one of the biggest names in the league. Because if anybody should be making money off his own name, it's the man who actually lives with it every day.

			<title><![CDATA[So far, so good with Cooley's knee]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[After missing 11 games because of a bad left knee in 2011, TE Chris Cooley has to prove he can stay healthy to maintain a roster spot. Coach Mike Shanahan said Cooley's knee has responded well to offseason workouts with no swelling, but the bigger test will come when OTAs begin later this month. With a $6.2 million salary, Cooley will be tough to keep if he has issues with his knees after those workouts.<br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/>

			<title><![CDATA[Moss loses weight after lackluster season]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[WR Santana Moss did not play with the same speed or explosiveness in 2011 that he had in the past. One reason: He wasn't in top shape. That's not the case anymore, though as coach Mike Shanahan said the slot WR has lost 15 pounds since the season ended. At 33, Moss needs to have a strong offseason to avoid getting cut after June 1. The Redskins have other options in the slot (Josh Morgan, Leonard Hankerson), but a resurgent Moss would help too.<br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/>

			<title><![CDATA[Mike Shanahan on QB Robert Griffin III: 'He's the starter, period' heading into OTAs]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[





RG3 and Cousins roomed together, studied together and even ate a burrito together.(Getty Images) 



 In quite possibly the most anti-climatic news since the Redskins selected quarterback Robert Griffin III with the second-overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, head coach Mike Shanahan announced Sunday that RG3 will be listed No. 1 on the depth chart when the team reconvenes next week for OTAs. "He's the starter, period," Shanahan said at the conclusion of the Redskins' three-day rookie minicamp, according to CBSSports.com Rapid Reporter JohnKeim.The head coach added that it's one of the few times he's excited about the three quarterbacks he has on the roster. The other two: veteran Rex Grossman and the 'Skins' other 2012 draftee, fourth-rounder Kirk Cousins. There were some blank stares from fans and media when Washington, a five-win outfit a year ago with plenty of needs up and down the roster, took Cousins. But Shanahan considered the move a coup,noting last week that &ldquo;We have to have depth to win. Hopefully [an injury to Griffin] doesn't happen but you want to be prepared. I thought it was a steal for us at that position.&rdquo; Shanahan informed RG3 of the plan to take Cousins should he be available and went so far as to compare it to the John Elway-Gary Kubiak situation in Denver in 1983 when the Broncos traded for Elway, originally taken No. 1 by the Colts, and selected Kubiak in the eighth round. Griffin, meanwhile, doesn't have a problem with Washington drafting Cousins. "Kirk is trying to make this team just like I'm trying to make this team," he said. "[But] they brought me in for a reason, and I plan to go out and do what I'm supposed to do and that's help this team win." The two quarterbacks even roomed, studied and ate together during rookie minicamp. "There are no issues there," Griffin saidvia Keim. "We're cool. We ate a burrito together -- not the same burrito." RG3 received praise from teammates for his knowledge of the playbook, which should serve him well as he heads into OTAs. And if things go smoothly there, his plan to unseat Grossman as the Redskins starter heading into the 2012 season will be one step closer to reality.

			<title><![CDATA[Critics pan Jaguars drafting punter, but Redskins taking backup QB is worse]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[





The Jags may have taken a punter in Round 3, but the Skins took two QBs with their first three picks.(Getty Images) 



 Two of the most controversial selections in the 2012 NFL Draft didn't involve Janoris Jenkins or Mike Adams or Orson Charles or Alfonzo Dennard -- all players with enough off-field concerns to scare off a lot of teams. Nope, the two most controversial selections in the 2012 NFL Draft were two law-abiding citizens: Cal punter Bryan Anger and Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins. The former was taken by the Jaguars in the third round (70th overall), a team with countless needs. The latter was a fourth-round selection (102nd overall) of the Redskins, an outfit that had taken their franchise quarterback, Robert Griffin III, exactly 100 picks earlier. We get that the Jaguars featured one of the league's worst offenses in 2011. Typically, such developments prompt an organization to bolster the offense, which is what Jacksonville did when it traded up for the draft's best wide receiver, Justin Blackmon. But then something happened, although we're still not sure what. Our theory: maybe the draft cards got mixed up. Jaguars general manager Gene Smith insists that the selecting Anger 70th was very much intentional. "I think what you have to do is trust your grades," Smith said of taking Anger. "We felt like this guy had starter ability." 




   After the Jaguars pick of punter Bryan Anger, Pete Prisco gives his take on drafting punters and kickers in the NFL Draft.  




 No one doubts that Anger has starter ability. The problem: the Jags lost 11 times last season and it wasn't because they didn't have a top-flight punter. And this isn't the first time in recent draft history that Jacksonville drafted a punter. In 2007, they selected Adam Podlesh in the fourth round, and thought so much of him that they let him walk after the 2010 season. He signed with the Bears and played well in 2011. The lesson: a team with myriad roster needs shouldn't be preoccupied with landing the "best" punter when starters can regularly be found after the draft. CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco went so far as to call it the "worst move of the draft -- by any team." For us, that distinction was reserved for the Redskins and their Vinny Cerrato-inspired selection of two quarterbacks with two of their first three picks. Cousins admitted that he was shocked Washington drafted him, and Washington Post columnist Thomas Boswell called the move "utterly moronic." NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthalpointed out that Cousins fell out of the top 100 because he's a backup, adding: "The Redskins reportedly had him rated as their third quarterback in the draft, so they took him for value. Maybe they will be able to trade him someday and maybe they won't. But to insinuate Cousins could somehow make Griffin's life more difficult is moronic." We talked about it on the most recent Pick-6 Podcast, but here's the thing: the Redskins signed Rex Grossman to a one-year deal to be RG3's backup. Washington won five games last year. Presumably, they have bigger needs than using a fourth-round pick on a guy who may never, ever see the field. And if Mike Shanahan's master plan includes grooming a backup and duping another team into giving up a second-rounder for him, well, we got some news for you: that's Andy Reid's shtick and he's got it down cold. (A fact made all the more embarrassing by Reid dumping Donovan McNabb on Shanahan for -- you guessed it -- a second-round pick.) Put differently: for as bad as the Bryan Anger pick was, at least he'll contribute for the Jaguars next season. (Likely a lot, too. And if your argument is some form of: "See, you admit that Anger will play and he'll have the important role of changing field position. it's not a bad pick!" We'd like to mention another means of changing field position: draft players that help the offense get first downs.) Cousins will be seated next to Grossman on game days and possibly remain there long after Grossman's career is over. This isn't the first time the Washington has taken two quarterbacks in a draft class. In 1994, the Redskins selected Heath Shuler third overall and then drafted Gus Frerotte in the seventh round. By the time it was all said and done, Frerotte had beaten Shuler out for the job. No need to worry, though; Cousins knows that he's not in competition with RG3. &ldquo;I think it's very important that Robert, myself, the Redskins as a whole, that we handle this thing the right way,&rdquo; Cousins told Dan Patrick. &ldquo;And I was involved in a couple of quarterback competitions in college, so this isn't my first time being around a situation like this. But I think the important thing to note is that we're not competing against one another, we're competing with one another, and we're competing with one another to help the Redskins win football games. And who we're really competing against are the Giants, and the Eagles and the Cowboys and the rest of the NFL. And that's where our focus should be as far as competing.&rdquo; We're not sure how Cousins helps the Redskins win football games from the bench, especially when some of the players taken after Cousins in Round 4 -- Joe Adams, Robert Turbin, Bobbie Massie, Orson Charles -- seem better suited to actually help Washington on the field.

			<description><![CDATA[The Redskins released WR Jabar Gaffney, nearly three weeks after telling him they would try to trade him. Gaffney had career and team highs in catches (68) and yards (947) in 2011. But the Redskins wanted more yards after the catch -- he averaged only 2.7 in that area. They signed Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan in free agency and have second-year Leonard Hankerson, whom they really like.<br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/>

			<title><![CDATA[Redskins release wide receiver Jabar Gaffney]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[





Gaffney's been dumped by the Redskins. (Getty Images) 



When we last heard from wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, it was because he went on an awkward Twitter rant about various things. The reasons we're hearing from him today is even more awkward: the Redskins have decided to cut him.Multiple reports from multiple papers and websites confirm this news, but Josina Anderson of ESPN spoke to Gaffney himself, who confirmed that he'd been dumped for making too much money."I just heard. I just talked to Mike Shanahan. He said I was going to be making too much, and that they wanted to see what the other players can do," Gaffney said. "He said there is a chance I can come back, but he said it would be for around the minimum because I wouldn't be the starter anymore. I am not interested in going from being their leading receiver to being third-string, and having my number taken from me. That is pretty much telling me that I am not going to be making the team. Now Drew [Rosenhaus] can start talking to other teams to find me a new home."Shocking, I know, that Gaffney sounds a little angry at the idea of being a No. 3 wide receiver. The reality is the Skins went out and signed Pierre Garcon and Josh Morgan this past offseason, and they also have potential-laden, second-year wideout Leonard Hankerson returning from injury.Regardless of whether or not you think that the Garcon and Morgan signings were smart (I like Morgan but not Garcon, personally), they're investments. And when you invest heavily in something, you're going to do what is necessary to make that investment grow, if possible. Or maybe Mike Shanahan simply thinks that fourth-round pick Kirk Cousins can fill whatever void Jabar Gaffney leaves. At least that would explain the pick anyway.<br clear="both" style="clear: both;"/>
