laurent Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 As of now we still have to fill one vacant DT position. If Sean Gilbert were to be released, how would everybody here feel about adding him to our roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I hated him when he was here .. but like him for the players he brought us I'd sign him to a minimum deal with no signing bonus but no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney B Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Well, he IS better than what we have, assuming that he's not a guy who ruins the chemistry of your team (and I do get that feeling about him, what with God instructing him to sit out and such nonsense). So if we could get him cheap, maybe we try for him. But he should get more than the minimum from somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Ralph Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Zippo flicked!!! Gasoline poured!!! WOOSH!!! Flame on, bridge gone!!!! Gilbert back to the Skins? Ain't going to happen. John Riggins will go sober before Gilbert wears the burgandy and gold again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 weirder things have happened when you consider the final departure of Westbrook, would it be impossible to believe the return of a guy like Gilbert? after all, the Redskins got their future from Carolina for him and Sean got his $45 M contract. how old is Sean now, 31 or 32? he certainly is a better player at this point than Larry Webster.

Barney B Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Well, actually, Wacky, Riggo HAS gone sober. Or so he's said. Of course he told me this while we were waking up underneath a dumpster on 8th Street, but I'll have to take him on his word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Ralph Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Originally posted by The Chief Well, actually, Wacky, Riggo HAS gone sober. Or so he's said. Riggins is free from the sauce???? NO WAY!!!! He probably just said that because he ran out of money. When he gets another pay check from some second-rate television show, he'll be back on the throat-candy.

Buddha Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 God told me we shouldn't sign Gilbert at any price. He said we should have faith in Del Cowsette to start next to Big Daddy this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mayor of Fed Ex Field Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 When we released Sean Gilbert, I believe that Bubba Tyer and Darrell Green are the only people left from the Redskins org. that was around when he got cut. He could come back and do the "Earthquake dance" again. It could happen. Give his old number 94 some respect back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboykilla Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Refresh my memory on this "Earthquake Dance" again? And I agree with the chief when he questions what Gilbert brings to the chemistry of The Scalpers. I mean, when put in the equation, will he help more than hurt? Will he be a cancer? Only past precedent can show us. On Del Cowsette, I remember he got some reps last year in games, what's wrong with him? Not big enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Were it left up to me there is no way, for any price, we'd bring that no good, fat, greedy, borderline-insane fool back to the burgundy and gold. But that's just me. Some guys, no matter how talented, you just don't want on your team. Gilbert, like Deion, is one. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I'd rather give Rock Cartwright a shot at DT than bring back Gilbert. There have to be better options. Agreed 100%, Brave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I don't like him either but I've never been against brining people in at minimum contracts, with no bonus so they could be cut following training camp if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Like Ralph, I'm not sure the organization or the player are fond enough of each other to be mutually forgiving. But, as the organization has largely changed, if the player wanted a shot, he could probably be persuasive up this way. Gilbert would be a good fit for a year or two and is probably the best name we can talk about outside of Adams. Never say never. But, I don't see it happening .

Craig Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 No no no no no! Not even at minimum. He is injury prone and is word is he is leaning towards retirement if he is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchogs Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 no, no, hell no. last thing we need is an underachiever on this team. i trust marv lewis to work with who we have (or will get), but i would seriously question the decision to bring him back. httr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RySkins Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I have never enjoyed booing a player as much as I did when Sean Gilbert returned to Washington in 1999 (or 2000 and 2001 for that matter). Having said that, I would be open to accepting the fat slob again if he were willing to play for the league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Not only No but Eff no. There are better opptions than that. I'd start a project UDFA fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Granted, about the only thing I know about Gilbert is the holdout/tag/trade fiasco. But, I'm always willing to consider anybody who'll play cheap. (Couldn't some spin doctor claim that he's the man responsible for bringing us Champ?) I don't know why everybody seem to assume he'll be willing to play cheap, though. And I really don't think he'll play cheap for us. Make sure his contract has a penalty clause if he doesn't show up.

fish Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 That dude really screwed us up by sitting out that year and I would have a HUGE problem rooting for him. In fact, I couldn't do it. He'd be even worse than Peon in that he did our team serious harm. I am pouting? Am I vengefull? Maybe. Bring him in for the min and no bonus and I guess I could stomach it.

Lavarwillkillyou Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I think Sean Gilbert should be executed for his disloyalty to the organization. Sean Gilbert in a Skins jersey = me in the top row of Fed Ex ready and willing with a sniper rifle. I say he's washed up. Go with Cowsette or another acquisition.
