Mike Furrey Headed to Washington; Minicamp Holdouts

by Chris Pokorny on Jun 9, 2010 8:46 PM EDT in General News

There are two bits of quick information to address here:

Former Browns WR Mike Furrey has signed with the Washington Redskins. Cleveland chose not to re-sign him in the offseason, although with the team still considering a veteran receiver, I suppose there was an off-chance that he could've been brought back. It's unclear as to whether or not the Redskins will use Furrey at safety like Eric Mangini did.

I didn't have any interest in seeing Furrey back in a Cleveland uniform this season. Although he did good work for the community, he failed to make an impact at receiver and the use of him at safety was really just a sign of how weak we were in the secondary.
Regarding the possible holdouts for minicamp, the Plain Dealer reports that RB Jerome Harrison and FB Lawrence Vickers are set to participate. D'Qwell Jackson previously stated that he would not attend minicamp, and a source tells the Plain Dealer that Phil Dawson will also probably be holding out. Abram Elam and Matt Roth have not announced their plans, but one can expect them to be absent as well.

Minicamp begins Thursday and will run through Saturday. Then, there will be a long break until training camp is ready to kick off for the summer!

Is that really Mike Furrey in that picture? I thought he was white.

He looks kind of black in the picture. I either need a better monitor or better eyes.

I’m not that blind. In that picture, Furrey is at least as dark-skinned as K2 ever was:

This is unrelated but with all the talk about the conference stuff, this was a hilarious article. I hate Michigan but I have to give credit where its due. Here it is: http://www.maizenbrew.com/2010/6/4/1500646/the-rumormill-the-big-xii-to-pac

Great hands

I for one hate to see Mike go, I really think his production stems from our quarterbacks lack of ability. He was a great third down receiver and caught everything thrown his direction…(and I’m not just saying this cause his dad is the ceo at my job..I meant every word Mr. Furrey!!)
