Redskins Release Mathis
The Washington Redskins released WR/KR Jerome Mathis yesterday, according to a report on Redskins Insider.
The Redskins perplexed their fan base when they signed Mathis only a few days after re-signing popular free agent kick returner Rock Cartwright.
Antwaan Randle El’s performance as a punt returner declined over the past three seasons [10.2 yds per return in ‘05 with Pittsburgh; 6.1 YPR in ‘07]. I suspected that Mathis was here either to compete for that job, or supplant utility man James Thrash as fifth receiver and back-up returner.
I’m guessing the Skins now see Malcolm Kelly or Devin Thomas in that role. A story on redskins.com mentions Thomas and rookie cornerback J.T. Tryon in that role.
