The Redskins are gearing up for what they hope to be a better 2015 season, so the team decided to write a letter to their fans to get everyone pumped up at the hopes for the future. Lots of teams will do this, so normally it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, read the letter and you’ll notice that a supposedly major player on the team wasn’t even mentioned.
“Dear Premium Club Member,” reads this letter from the Redskins.
“The Washington Redskins thank you for your continued loyalty and support. Redskins fans are the best in the NFL and we greatly appreciate your dedication over the years.”
“Head Coach Jay Gruden, new General Manager Scot McCloughan, and Defensive Coordinator Joe Barry will lead a nucleus of Ryan Kerrigan, DeSean Jackson, plus Pro Bowlers Trent Williams and Alfred Morris. The Redskins are poised to rebound next season!”
Yes folks. The Redskins mentioned Ryan Kerrigan before the name Robert Griffin III. This is no disrespect to Kerrigan who is a fine player, but when you make no mention of the QB that your team practically traded away the kitchen sink to get, a few eyebrows will be raised. With each passing day, the marriage between the Redskins and RG3 seem to be more and more rocky. Now we casually wait to see if the Redskins can explain their way out of this one.
