McIntosh not at Redskins camp
Jason Reid of The Washington Post reports that RFA linebacker Rocky McIntosh is not participating in today’s Redskins minicamp. [DISCUSS IT!]
"Rocky McIntosh will not attend minicamp but hopes “we’ll have a resolution soon.” Hmmmm. Sounds like a potential trade could be in works.
"
McIntosh and CB Carlos Rogers are restricted free agents [RFA] who received the required 1-year tender offers to keep them off the open market. [Rogers is participating in the minicamp today.] Both wanted either a long-term deal with the Redskins or to be released unconditionally, but the Redskins, like pretty much any other team in this position, declined to do so. These are the rules of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the Redskins are using them as other teams do. As of now, both Rogers and McIntosh have declined to sign their tender offers. [Jason Campbell signed his on Monday and will be studying Mike Shanahan's playbook, but not participating in the minicamp while he waits for a trade.]

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
If McIntosh and Rogers do not sign within 10 weeks from the start of free agency, they will be unable to play in the 2010 regular season or playoffs. In addition, if they haven’t signed by June 15 their tender amounts can be reduced to 110 percent of their 2009 salaries. That’s not a literal cut in pay, but it is a lot less money than both expected to make in 2010.
Now, when McIntosh says that he hopes to “have a resolution soon” to this situation, it could mean, as Reid suggests, a trade is coming. Or it could be that his agent is getting close to a multi-year contract agreement with the Redskins. We don’t know at this point.
