Kris Jenkins is one of the area's top players expected to be drafted. The Redskins cut Larry Centers and are looking to trade their draft pick. On the eve of the NFL's college draft, the Washington Redskins released fullback Larry Centers, their leading receiver in each of the past two seasons, and signed unrestricted free agent cornerback Donovan Greer yesterday. The Redskins continued to try to trade down from the 15th selection overall to acquire more picks in later rounds. Coach Marty Schottenheimer said early last night that the Redskins were in trade talks with four or five teams and indicated that a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have the 21st overall pick, is possible today.
Timing is a big part of it.
The 11-year veteran is the NFL's career leader in catches by a running back with 685. He led the Redskins with 69 receptions in 1999 after being released by the Arizona Cardinals. I'm not disappointed. It was somewhat of a clean break. I'm hoping I can fall into a situation that's better and will allow me to show what I can do.
