DRSmith Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Just wondering if we will resign Vincent he is an older vet but a decent safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never21Forgotten36 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 doubt it, he didnt get much playing time when he was with us last year, and lost his job to Vernon Fox.....so signs dont look good on bringing him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Everybody be easy on Troy Vincent, let us not forget how he won the cowboys game for us. Im not saying resign him, Im just saying lets go easy on the old vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Don't know if he's totally done or not but he's been around since 1992 so I'm thinking he's probably about ready to hang it up. Then again, we could always use him on the FG block team when we play Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#98QBKiller Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I think I read somewhere that he's working for the NFL Players organization or something...here's his Web site: http://www.troyvincent.com/ I couldn't find it on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEavyJumbo85 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 yeah, he became the new president of the nfl players association i think. I think he's been the President for a few years now, I think he was recently re-elected. Also in regards to bringing him back, he asked for his release so that he could pursue an opportunity for more playing time. Obviously that hasn't happened yet, but I don't think he wants to come back here and compete with so many younger guys for a roster spot. He also is a big time leader on defense and felt that we had that leadership presence here already and that he didn't fit. He'll probably land somewhere after the draft when teams realize that they need some help at safety. He's a solid veteran and a great leader and will certianly catch on somewhere.

bulldog Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Vincent won't be back in the league until the season starts and a team suffers an injury and needs a veteran safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailSkinz1 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Troy Vincent is done. I had the fortune to run into him at my son's handball (handball as in soccer but using your hands to advance the ball) tournament last weekend (his son plays on his elementary school's team). I recognized him, shook his hand, and told him I always admired his career and wish he'd stayed with the Skins longer. He didn't hesitate one iota in shaking his head and saying "no, time for me to move on." He left no doubt that he was through playing. It was a very nice brief conversation. We were both there to watch our sons so I didn't want to take too much of his time (his son was probably the best player out of all 8 or so schools that participated), but he took a minute to ask me about my family which I thought was really cool. Interesting side note - he was wearing a Buffalo Bills long sleeve shirt. Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not saying resign him, Im just saying lets go easy on the old vet. Easy on the sensitivity. I don't think anyone said anything that is wrong or untrue. I thank him for the Cowboys but its true, he's old and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsomeguy Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Well best of luck to him. He made me one of the happiest last year with that block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I really don't think the Redskins will bring him back. He'll catch on with Chicago when they find out AA sucks like we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 here's a cool article about him......doubt he'll be back http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6710616 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Troy Vincent's next role may leave him a legacy far greater than anything he ever achieved as a Pro Bowl defensive back. Like a preacher leading a revival, Vincent is readying his followers for a change. On this particular night, Vincent was reaching out to fathers and their mostly grade school sons about the importance of personal accountability, a devotion to the community and never using a deprived background or broken family as a reason to give up. "No excuses," he tells the group. Vincent could have easily made the same speech to his some of his fellow NFL brethren. And has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneBoost Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Vincent has already been the lead person of the owners association, thats how he got to leave Philly. Also, I believe we let him go a month or so after the season was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 We have no space for him, or money to pay him, so unless hes fine with bringing his own cardboard box and working for scraps, its just not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyUtah Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I liked Vincent while he was here, which was a huge departure since I hated him with the Eagles. In any case, I think he may be out of football and concentrating on his office, especially with the new conduct policy and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins&Terps07 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 With the signing of Stoutmire Vincent is almost certainly done with the Skins. I thought he was a solid veteran addition and it was said he instantly became one of the leaders of the team once we got him. Of course the blocked FG against the Cowboys wasn't too shabby either.

PCS Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Don't see it happening. The Redskins signings up to this point lead me to believe that if he does make it back to playing, it will be on another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
