Updated: Redskins Make Major Roster Cuts

FYI:

Russellmania09 Now former #Redskins RB/ST Rock Cartwright says he will join @lavararrington & @chaddukes around 530 or so on @1067theFANDC!

Has it been confirmed that Wiegmann was at Redskins Park today? If so, we may not even bother trying to resign Rabach. I wonder if we'll cut the Todds, too.I haven't heard anything that suggests that the team ever considered extending Rabach, with the exception of a single Redskins Insider post that cited quotes from Rabach about his future and read like a puff piece.

Doesn't mean we won't bring him back in like three weeks on a one-year deal, but I really believe there are no discussions of an extension right now (or ever).

I actualy heard some idiot on NFL live yesturday say Brandon Lloyd would be the suprise reciever in Free agency. I never thought I would here his name again.

Maese suggests Betts' release is highly likely, if not yet official:

Tandler says Betts is gone. I already posted the link on a previous page.

It's definately worth saying: none of the cuts have been any guys who had any guaranteed money in their 2010 salaries. That's probably good news for Griffin, Portis, Moss. Samuels is the exception to the rule, for obvious reasons.

The one cut I am expecting that hasn't come yet is Mike Sellers.

Then there's Andre Carter. The Redskins declined to pick up the contract option on Randle El, opting instead for a severance package. They could do the same thing with Carter, but I have to imagine that they will be picking up the next few years of his contract (through 2013? 14?).

Griffin, turns out, did not make it. He will be getting that 2010 salary though.

They are saying Griffin is gone too. First name to sorta bum me out.

RealRedskins RT @Russellmania09: #NFL source tells me Cornelius Griffin is now an ex- #Redskins DT as well. More to come as I work to 100 % confirm.

Wow! a Change has come! Finally!!
