Wow! Didn't see this coming. I wonder how the cap is affected.

Williams must be working out or atleast showing something they like. Plus Bridges can play both Guard and RT.

Just getting ready to post it myself backrow. Unbelievable. I didn't expect this.

This is definitely surprise to us all!! Although he regressed greatly, it's kind of weird (and maybe sad?) to see him go after seeing him in Redskins uniform for years..
This must mean the coaches already have somebody in their mind who they think is capable of handling the RT spot..

I figured they would keep him one more year and backup Rabach. Wow.

And props to T.O. Killa for correctly seeing our cap space and predicting this.

Gotta be cap or health related.
You dont cut a veteran lke Jansen during OTA's and mini-camps, you cut him at or near the end of training camp, but not in May.
My thought when I first saw it was "June 1st cap casualty". Players released before June 1st, the team is able to save the cap hit in the current NFL year, but take that hit the following year.

If that is the case, Vinny must really believe that next yr there will be no caps..

This is going to be about a 5 million dollar hit on the cap, or something close to that, but the only place the Redskins could spend that money anyway is an extension. From that point, this move makes sense.
