The Redskins finalized their final 53 man roster yesterday and there were more than a couple surprises. Here are my thoughts on some of the key decisions that were made yesterday. Keeping Four Quarterbacks: -This just frankly doesn’t make sense unless the concerns about RGIII and Kirk Cousins injuries are more serious than they are … More »
