Posted at 1:39 PM ET, 08/30/2009 Fincher Among Five Players Cut

The Redskins have cut five players, according to a Tweet by the team's official blogger. Offensive lineman Devin Clark, defensive tackle Michael Marquardt, wide receiver Marques Hagans, linebacker Alfred Fincher and safety Michael Grant are former Redskins. Fincher was a key contributor on special teams last season.

You have to be pretty bad at blocking for the QB if your cut by this team.

fincher wasnt any good but he is a surprise cut. improves glenn's chance of making the team id imagine.

I think those names were passed around when people asked who would be the first to go. No suprises.

Fincher is a mild surprise.

Wait, no Betts or Cartwright?? WTF!

I'm not sure we're settled at LB depth though.

Thank goodness Clark is gone. Man, was he awful this summer.

Fincher is definitely surprising, good sign for Wilson I suppose

Fincher is a mild surprise, I didnt think the drafted LB's like Glenn have stood out much. but it is a business so draft picks get preference if its anywhere close.

Hmm...I released Fincher the other day on Madden. I could be the next Miss Cleo.

Jason Campbell was not cut? :)
