Daryl Washington - Conditionally Reinstated by NFL

[BigRedRage]

They only played together his rookie year, iirc?

I dont know if thats what it was but that year was special at ILB for sure.

Its not a celebratory post. Its just an announcement. Of course they have to announce it. For all we know there will be a "DWash has been released" announcement.

Technically do they even need to do anything? I mean he is under contract so they could expect him to show for OTA or camp

The NFL must be in a good mood because the Steelers' Martavius Bryant was reinstated too.

They need to make a determination as whether to keep or release him. Mtl by the June deadline.

Some more info from ESPN

The league said Tuesday that Washington may work out at the team training facility and participate in meetings. He will not be cleared for all preseason activities, including practices and games, until the league has confirmed arrangements have been made for Washington regarding "clinical resources'' in Phoenix.

"Prior to the start of the regular season, the NFL will review Washington's progress," read the NFL's statement. "Based on his compliance and engagement with his program and resources, he will be permitted to participate in all regular season activities beginning in Week 1. He will be evaluated later in the season for full reinstatement."

He may not be ready until 2018

We let Minter walk because he sucked. Dansby was brought in to replace him.

We resign Dansby...DWash gets reinstated...


you know Bucannon is like "Oh no, not again!"

back to the bench!

You're confusing Buc with Minter's rookie year.

In all seriousness, why are the Cards coaches so against Deone being the SS? Can he not play as good or better than TJeff?

 

[Jetstream Green]

I would see what the guy has left in the tank. Unlike other guys his age he was not taking a punishment to his body playing a contact sport in his absence, so you cannot judge his age by other players still playing. It's the football conditioning part but this guy was honestly a top five LB... let's see what he has

No im not, Buc is a liability at LB. He had a good rookie year and has steadily declined since.

Minter has been the one steadily improving.

No, thatd be a nightmare. Buc struggles to cover TEs and RBs right now. No way could he do it as a safety.

In fact im excited to have 78 year old Dansby back, because hes an upgrade on Buc in terms of pass coverage.

 

[Mainstreet]

So the Cardinals have to at least consider Washington's return going into the draft, not depend upon it, but at least consider it.

QB here we come. LOL

 

[eastcoastSUN]

The org says they will revisit this situation and will focus on the draft, but regardless of the lip service, doesn't this basically take out our need to draft a LB in the first few rounds? We can basically x-out Reddick and Foster for our #13 pick then...

 

[Jetstream Green]

Larry just threw kerosene on the fire.

Not if he already has a good gist of the situation and knows the Cards will probably give him a chance... if he is just 75 percent of what he was, our LBs are looking great!

Or just happy for a friend

Again, covering is much easier from 15-20 yards deep as a safety than 5 yards deep as a LB. He would be fine as a safety.

 

[Jetstream Green]

OK, I will state with some confidence he will be given a chance because the Cards have just post his reinstatement on their facebook profile... you do not do this as an organization unless you mean to keep him

why? Because this guy could maybe play football again one day? You cannot put all your eggs into Dwash's pipe again. Bad idea.

Ok, so Buc can't cover! And Buc can't hold up against the run!

Then why the hell is he our starting ILB? We should trade him and replace with better talent like Foster, Reddick, or potentially DWash.

or because your fans have been asking about it for 3 years and you can finally give an answer.

From my NFL app:

Washington hasn't played since 2013. In addition to multiple suspensions for substance-related issues, he also served a one-year probation in 2014 for assaulting a former girlfriend.
