    The Rams and Broncos‎ are also reportedly in the running for the 30-year old RB, Westbrook only ran for 274 yards last season in 7 starts.

    The 9-year RB never once finished a full 16-game season and was limited to half a season last year.

    If Westbrook chooses to sign with the Redskins he will reunite with QB Donovan McNabb.

    That's what they need more injury prone running backs!

    Looks like Willie might be on the outs. OTA reports have him a bit slow. Speed is his deal, if he lost that he's done.

    Your right.

    "Not So Fast Willie" just doesn't have the same ring.

    Parker the Odd Man Out in Washington When Westbrook Signs?
    Posted by Matt Loede under Washington Redskins

    There’s a sense that Brian Westbrook is eventually going to ink with the Redskins, and when that happens, there will for sure be a huge logjam a the Skins running back spot. With Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker on the roster already, what will happen when/if Westbrook signs?

    One report says that it wouldn’t be a shock that Parker would be the odd man out. He has fallen off since leading the NFL in rushing a few years back before breaking his leg in the second to last game of the season.

    Word out of Redskins minicamp is that RB Brian Westbrook, late of the Eagles, already has an offer extended to him. He could be joining the team very soon. If that happens, he might be moving into a spot currently occupied by off-season acquisition, Willie Parker. Once a star with the Steelers, Parker doesn’t look to have any zip in his step and may feel like he’s already got a spot sewn up. Head coach Mike Shanahan is throwing out the welcome mat for Westbrook.

    Parker sat back and had to wait a long time just to get an offer from another team, and now it looks like he could be the odd man out when Westbrook arrives.

    I really like Shanny, but if I was Westbrook, I'd tell Weenie Boy Snyder to shove his offer up his tight ass.

    Shame about FWP - he was Top 5 material just a couple of years ago. I'll always wuv him!

    Thank you.. I needed that... In my mind he has done enough to retire with the Steelers but neither did Woodson retire with us... But as we know it's just business..

    Thank you FAST WILLIE PARKER... YOU'RE A HERO IN MY EYES..

    What we need to do is line up two RBs in the backfield. Fake handoff to one and dump the ball off to the other with a short pass.

    In a related story, NEWSFLASH: The Washington Redskins just offered Earl Campbell a 1yr contract to play RB in 2010.
