The stupidity of people to suggest he be banned for life b/c he smokes weed or does any drug is lacking common sense! Ive never done drugs myself and ive been around long enough to know that prohibition has never worked. ‘d like to think that our society can see past the archaic war on drug policies and acknowledge that it hasn’t worked and that American should have the right enjoy drugs and ruin their lives if they so choose. M. Irvin seemed to play pretty well all coked up! The NFL needs to have policies in place, I understand that but if we’re talking about weed than this is a complete joke!!! That being said, Skins need to let him go since he obviously can’t stay on the field!!!

What is going on with all the Skins players getting busted for substance abuse charges? This makes a lot of cases for one team in less than one season (when you count in Davis and Williams). I thought there was supposed to be some culture change at Redskins Park.

It’s “Hail To The Redskins,” not “INHALE To the Redskins.” We can’t have roster spots going to guys who can’t manage to keep themselves from having repeated substance abuse violations.

Schiano saw that one coming and got him off the boat.

No need to get mad at Ret-ard — I mean Tanard. As critical as each position is, despite his obvious talent, HOW was he ever a serious consideration by the coaching staff?!?!?
Clearly, we are not done making stupid moves. And I hear Reid Doughtys seeing eye dog wont be ready by Game 1.

Gotta admire Washington’s desire to not only remain in the basement but become an embarrassment as well

Maybe he needs to watch that 30 for 30 documentary on Ricky Williams.

When did he slip up and when was he caught?

How does this decision get announced the day of final cuts? I mean, the NFL announced the 18 mil penalty the day before the opening of FA…what is with the timing of these decisions.

More great decision-making by Raheem Morris. Bet the Redskins are glad he brought this bum along.

@houseofbacon

He wasn’t truly 3rd on the depth chart (maybe on ESPN.com or something). He was clearly the #1 FS on the team. That isn’t saying much bc the DB squad isn’t very good. Regardless it def hurts.

How was this not public knowledge before today?! I haven’t heard anything like this all offseason until today! Man, what a disappointment. He has all the talent to be a good, starting safety

They should just ban him for life. He has had too many chances. I actually bought a custom jersey of his in 2007 (when he was drafted not 2011) after he laid out Dallas Clark. I think I’m going to send it back to him.

You can’t have been drafted in the 2011 draft and have played in 5 seasons.

Jackson was a 4th round pick in 2007 not 2011.

Tanard has had both a 4 game and full year suspension while playing for the Buccaneers. I doubt he gets reinstates this time.

I kept hearing Tanard Jackson plays at a *HIGH* level… I guess this is what they were talking about. Hopefully he won’t have any party friends named Trent Williams or Fred Davis to hang out with later this year.

soooo… he spent five seasons in TB, but was a 4th round pick last year??

So much for the Giants needing to be scared of this guy, huh, Skins fans?

“Jackson currently is listed as a third-string free safety for the Redskins”

“He was going to start too.”

What a dunce. He was going to start too. I hope we cut him regardless…what an unreliable loon.
