gobigred Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Let the cutting begin;) This was just announced on Redskins.com The Redskins have re-signed offensive lineman Mike Pucillo, the team announced on Wednesday. Also, the Redskins released veteran tight end Christian Fauria. Pucillo, 6-4 and 311 pounds, was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. He was a key reserve for the Redskins in 2006, playing in 11 games. Pucillo can play several positions along the offensive line. He was listed on the depth chart as the backup center, but he can also play guard. Last season, he occasionally lined up at tight end in short yardage and goal-line situations. Pucillo signed with the Redskins as a free agent in March 2006. He had previous NFL stints with the Buffalo Bills, who drafted him in the seventh round of the 2002 NFL Draft, and Cleveland Browns. For his career, Pucillo has played in 36 games with 18 starts. He played his college ball at Auburn. Fauria played just one season in Washington. Signed by the Redskins as a free agent in March 2006, he struggled through a foot injury most of last season and ended the year on injured reserve. Fauria, a 12-year NFL veteran, played in nine games and had two receptions for 17 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonnyRules Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Christian Fauria was a ghost last year. Sorry to hear that it didn't work out for him; friends from New England told me he was a decent blocking TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 $11.33 and counting. Someone in here about 3 weeks ago predicted we could get close to 26 million under the cap. It may happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt'n Obvious Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Glad to see Pucillo re-signed. Fauria being released can't come as a surprise, as he basically did nothing last year. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Makes you wonder if they won't look for a project blocking TE later in the draft. Tomorrow should be a busy day for cuts...sounds like they are saving most of them til the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Last season, he (Pucillo) occasionally lined up at tight end in short yardage and goal-line situations. :laugh: occasionally? the down and distance didn't matter, if we were running, you knew it (him and Thrash on the field), and we were still gonna run it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
