Malcolm Kelly finally gets the boot from Redskins

The receiver that the Redskins once envisioned as the next Andre Johnson is no longer one of the best 80 players in the organization.

The Redskins waived/injured wide receiver Malcolm Kelly on Tuesday as they trimmed the roster to 80. Kelly, who was taken with Devin Thomas in the second round of the 2008 draft, has struggled to stay healthy his entire career. Kelly had 28 catches in three years.

Also cut: linebacker Eric McBride, offensive lineman Corey O’Daniel, kicker Clint Stitser, tight end Joe Torchia, defensive back Dante Barnes, quarterback Ben Chappell, offensive lineman Xavier Fulton, and defensive back Tyrone Grant.

I remember all those Skin fans on other Cowboy sites talking :censored about their two 2nd round picks when they got him and Thomas...

[Midswat]

I remember that as well.

Got to love their eternal optomism.

It must be hard being a Redskins fan.

Kelly was Snyder's pick apparently. Every year more and more leaks come out about exactly how much the little schmuk got involved in football opperations and I have a feeling we'll only see the tip of that iceberg. Didn't like the Kelly pick or the Fred Davis, but I don't think the Redskins were the only team Devin Thomas fooled. Can't put that one on Cerrato or Snyder. According to the WaPo Snyder had a serious man crush on Kelly and told Cerrato to pick him, even though practically the entire rest of the league scratched him due to medical reasons. Can't tell you for sure when and if the Skins will ever be good again, but if Snyder had not stepped back I could tell you for sure they wouldn't.

lol lol lol

I wonder if they look back now and wonder what they could have done with their lives instead of spending countless hours defending a complete waste of roster space...
