This is serious? Are you kidding me? This was posted today at 1:30 pm, do you guys not see what just happened here?

Shanny is not signed yet, and he certainly was not signed at 1pm today, yet we are signing players for his team? Go ahead and tell me that Bruce Allen made these moves! Should the GM consult with the coach about what type of players he wants before signing them?

Little Danny Snyder runs this team still, not Bruce and not Shanny when he signs.

Alridge is the only one who isn't a camp body.

Dutch was a scrub.

Shanahan was the one who suggested Alridge to Vinny waaay back last offseason.

Ever think that even if Shanny didn't have say on this that maybe Allen was just making sure they didn't get signed to other teams practice squads so that Shanahan could evaluate the entire roster before we do anything?

Most of these guys were former Redskins at one point or another.
