Wynn Says He's Among Final Cuts (http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=3813)
Renaldo Wynn told reporters on Saturday afternoon that he had been released by the team.
Wynn, among the longest-tenured Redskins, has played for the Redskins since 2002. He previously played five seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Wynn, a 6-3, 296-pounder out of Notre Dame, established himself as one of the more popular players in the Redskins locker room, as well as in the Washington, D.C., community.
On the field, Wynn was a steady presence, particularly as a run-stopper, the last five seasons.
He logged 18 tackles (14 solo) as a reserve last season. His best season was 2004, when he started 16 games and recorded 58 tackles (38 solo) and three sacks.
In the community, Wynn started the Family of Faith Foundation. Every year, he hosted a holiday shopping spree for local families in need at a Target shopping store.
Last June, he had the first-ever Renaldo Wynn Car Show Summer Fest at Redskins Park to help raise money for Wynn's foundation.
Wynn is the third veteran defensive player the Redskins have released in the last two weeks. Linebacker Lemar Marshall was released on Aug. 21, and defensive tackle Joe Salave'a was released on Aug. 28.
Sad to see him go. Hes a nice guy.
