The Redskins have decided to part ways with injured linebacker Mike Barrow, the team announced on Saturday. Barrow, a 12-year veteran, was released by the Redskins 15 months after signing with the team via free agency.

how much money does that save the skins in this years cap? anybody know?

I think it's 2.1 million we save this year, but we will take a cap hit for it next year.

Oh well. I was hoping he could return to form. I guess we have enough talent that it just isn't worth the risk. Maybe we should feel good about this.

We save $1.74M by cutting Barrow's salary, but still incur a 2005 deadcap charge of $417K, for a net 2005 cap savings of $1.323M.

However we also incur a deadcap charge of $1.668M in 2006.
