Does he get in the Ring of Fame?  All-time sack leader, but no team post season accomplishments.

If Lavar Mr Overrated Arrington makes 70 best all time list, Kerrigan definitely gets in Ring of Fame

[ExoDus84]

It's hitting me.

 

****ing Eagles, man. What is this BS?

Some are surprised at the signing even though the cheating eagles do it every year. 

As for Kerrigan, he's an upgrade for them, not a loss for WFT.  He's on the downside of the career curve.  An example of what not to do as an organization rebuilds.  Granted he's likely a passing down edge rusher only, but be assured Kerrigan and Anderson will be extra motivated in these matchups. I'm sure that for as much as these players have insight into what WFT does on offense, the coaches know what these guys can't do on defense. 

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Dead to me.

[Wyvern]

Goodbye to a truly classy player. 

 

I still remember that clip, just after Washington lost in the 2020 playoff round versus the Bucs, where it caught Kerrigan lingering on the field, taking one last look around Fedex.  I think he knew inside, that it would be the last time he'd be wearing Burgundy and Gold.

 

I also liked how Kerrigan never took the cheap shot, rather he just give it his all.... in playing honest, straight up football.  Hopefully, he's allowed to conduct himself the same way going forward, even though he's now with the Eagles.  (I was hoping he'd wind up with the Packers or the Colts, if he couldn't stay in Washington.)

im still bitter about the name change this barely upsets me. Hope u retire one day in Burgundy and gold #91

[Ball Security]

Have they reported how much he signed for?  I know it’s a one year deal.

Remember Jeremiah Trotter ?

He switched sides twice between the teams, beginning with the switch to us.

Went from Philly to Wash.

Then from Wash to Philly.

I seem to recall him playing better in Philly, on both of his stints there, if I remember correctly.

That was the height of the WFT bringing in guys and asking them to play differently than what made them successful.

Hard not to love a player who's name is the same as his team's.

 

I wonder if we sign his cousin, Marco Team

Kerrigan was a great Redskin.  Always respected his game and character.  But it does say something about our depth and organizational thinking going forward that we can easily move on from a guy of his caliber.  We have one hell of a defensive front 7 fellas.

Sucks that my favorite player went to Philly. But, I get it. He feels that he has years left in the tank and went where he could play the most. And really, he probably feels that the "Redskins" are over. This new team and culture are moving forward and he was never really apart of it anyway.

He definitely was, he was one of our best defensive players ever. I thought James Smith-Williams looked really good last year in his limited snaps, so I'm guessing the team feels good about him and Bradley-King. Interested to see what JSW does with an increased snap count, he was good against the run last year.

That’s showbiz... Thanks for everything, I may buy a Kerrigan T shirt on the cheap and rock it after he signs his Retire as a Teamster 1 day contract in the future.

[London Kev]

I was a big Kerrigan fan and it's going to be sad to see him wearing the eagles' vomit-green colours, but I wish him well. He must be gutted to leave the same same season that we win the Super Bowl.

This signing by the Eagles makes no sense to me...why sign a 33 year old guy when your team is in a rebuild? The only thing I can think of is to gain enemy intel....hopefully RK stays mum and isn't a sellout if that's the case. 

Good luck #91 and thanks for your great play and leadership. 

[Malapropismic Depository]

Almost smells like us signing Bruce Smith

[MisterPinstripe]

This is devastating news.

[Malapropismic Depository]

3.5 Million tells me they aren't expecting a whole lot from him, and probably not a starter

[Malapropismic Depository]

Some of you are forgetting we have Logan Thomas.

This is what happens when Logan Thomas and Ryan Kerrigan play against each other.

THIS is showbiz:

 

Ryan Kerrigan appeared as NASA technician Garber in "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No." 

 

 

I recall the Oscar buzz.

It will be weird to see him on the Eagles defense this year.  He will play in a 4-3 so he will probably pass rush effectively.  

He won't be used in coverage.   Wish he had gone to one of the other teams who wanted him instead of the Eagles.

He picked them so he could stick it to Ron most likely.  Think about it.  Same thing happened to Brian Mitchell after

he had played for Skins for ten years.  He ended up giving Eagles three good productive years.   I hope some how

we can get Ryan to retire officially as a Redskin some day.  I do not believe Kerrigan was washed up at all.  We just

had younger faster players at his position.   We lost him because he wanted to be a starter.  He was a player I always

appreciated and respected for his professionalism.  Its not his fault we had some bad defensive coaches like Manusky.

[KDawg]

Kerrigan is a class act and a ring of famer. The franchise’s all time sack leader.

 

Kerrigan reminds me a lot of London Fletcher. Never the best player at their position but ALWAYS excellent and reliable and available. 
 

Without knowing inside details I’m willing to bet he wanted to play in Washington but the franchise told him the cost would be too expensive to keep him And cut guys like Bradley King, James Williams, Casey Toohill and Shaka. 
 

Zero ill will. I don’t even care he signed with Philly. Do your thing 91. 
 

I very much doubt he’s trying to stick it to Ron, for the record. Philly isn’t far from DC and I’m sure that played a factor in his decision as well. The Steelers were rumored to be interested but they have been a 3-4 and not Kerrigan’s strong suit. It makes sense for him to go to Philly without it needing to be a “I’M GOING TO GET YOU!” Situation.

I can't wait to see the Eagles DC try to fool us and drop him into pass coverage.

I think if Kerrigan had been on a different/more successful team he'd be a borderline HOFer. I think he read that he was one of only three players with X number pick sixes, sacks, forced fumbles, etc.

 

He had a very good career with us. Was more than solid on some really horrible defenses. I think we underrate how good is he was because of how little help he had and how bad the roster around him was.
