TK Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 For Immediate Release September 2, 2014 REDSKINS MAKE ROSTER MOVES LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins announced today that they have signed free agent offensive lineman Braxston Cave and free agent linebacker Jackson Jeffcoat to the team’s practice squad.

Cave spent the 2013 season on the Patriots’ practice squad and spent the 2014 offseason with the team before being waived on Aug. 30. Cave played collegiately at Notre Dame, where he appeared in 48 games with 35 starts. He was named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press during his final season in 2012.

SemperFi Skins Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Agree with the Jeffcoat signing, however, I knew his name from a few years ago when I was relating pectoral injuries from Texas linebackers... Brian Orakpo, Keenan Robinson, and now Jackson Jeffcoat. All U of Texas players with bad pectoral injuries. Hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 He'd the seed of a Cowboy. Dislike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wonder if this makes up for Darrell Green's son joining the Cowboys (think he was quickly cut) Off topic: Anyone know why I might not be able to use the quote feature from this desktop? I can on my phone and laptop, but not here. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKonaP Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I like Jeffcoat as an OLB. I hope he finds a way to stick with the team. If he can play up to his measurables, he's a nice one to have in rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how a guy who finished his career with those stats, was an All-American and the nation's top DE apparently went undrafted then got cut.

Jericho Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 One day you can tell your kids about that one day Chaz Sutton was a Washington Redskin. What a run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeBilly Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 According to the press release: "Cave spent the 2013 season on the Patriots’ practice squad and spent the 2014 offseason with the team before being waived on Aug. 30." That mean, Cave was with the Pats when they came to Richmond for the week of practice. I assume we saw him practice and liked what we saw (compared to Tevita Stevens.)

skinsfan212689 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 He'd the seed of a Cowboy. Dislike. Your sig is the best ever... In the history of all sigs... I've seen it a few time and even showed my wife we crack up everytime like it's the1st time... lol Ok back to the thread. I like both pick ups. Hopefully Cave can grow into something quickly. Both guys might have a chance down the road though. It seems like Gruden doesn't mind giving a guy a shot at playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
