The Washington Redskins have seemingly let some sensitive material get into the hands of the public. Linebacker Ejiro Ederaine was released from the team during the first round of cuts, and it appears that he held onto their playbooks then improperly disposed of them.
Josh from Ashburn, a listener of 106.7, called into The Fan’s Sports Junkies Thursday morning and revealed that he’d found Ederaine’s workbooks from training camp in a dumpster.
He said he was cleaning out his truck near the dumpster, and when he looked over, he noticed a clear trash bag with “a burgundy-and-gold-colored something in it.” He said he put it out and found a backpack, and when he opened the backpack, he discovered the books along with other Redskins gear, including a pair of team shorts.
He says he contacted the team on Wednesday and they nonchalantly stated security would get in touch with him later, which they haven’t done so far. Josh says the woman he spoke with from the team, confirmed the location where he found the books was indeed near the hotel the Redskins rookies stay.
“So it has what you do in a hot route, what his assignment would have been, what the guy next to him’s assignment would have been, it has breakdowns and handwritten things of the new calls, like the defense changed the call or whatever,” the caller named Josh said on the air. “He scratched it out and put the new verbiage for it. I mean, it’s got everything.”
Players who are released routinely are asked to surrender all material provided to them by the team. In this case, the team either didn’t ask, or Ederaine didn’t comply.
Cue the Patriots spygate jokes.
