Parting Words From Redskins Lost

Twitter has definitely changed the way we get information about our teams. Sometimes that news comes directly from the players themselves, which makes it a much more emotional event when one of our favorites gets cut.

As we embark on the first day of the 2011 NFL season, let us look back on those we have lost, and who were kind enough to tweet their final words on the day they ceased to be a Redskin.
