Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca

DynamiteRave · 03-04-2014, 10:37 PM

Bummer about Carriker. I really liked him as a person. As a player though it'll be interesting to see if another team snags him and if he can come back from that injury. 3 surgeries in a couple years doesn't tend to bode well for being explosive again.

Thank God Sav's gone. Guy was good for awhile but man these last couple of years has been rough. Wonder if he's going to hang it up, he's getting up there in age, but as per most K's/P's he can work into his early 40s.

The house cleaning process has begun. Stay tuned for more in next few days and weeks .

I'm not surprised Bowen and Carriker weren't released on the same day, but if they do end up keeping Bowen one more season, that would be a bit surprising.

I laughed at this. Hilarious.

Bowen will have to take a pay cut if he wants to stick around. Even when healthy, he hasn't lived up to his contract. With Baker being resigned for miltiple years, it makes you wonder if he'll even be around next season...

I don't get all the love for Carriker.
He hasn't done squat as a Redskin.

His 2011 season was pretty strong. Too bad he just can't get healthy.

Who else is a strong possibility for the chopping block?

I would think Bowen and possible 2 on the Oline.

If they cut Bowen it leaves 5 million in dead cap. They would save just under 2 million. Maybe they feel its worth a shot to see how he comes along in camp for just 2 million. What can you get on the dline for 2 mill. I say cut his ass and spend 4 to 6 on a healthy guy that can rush the passer a little.

Carriker has been paid about $10 million dollars per tackle the last two years. if he cannot stay healthy he has no value.

A hot rock he is.

Carriker missed 30 games and was due a whopping $6.5 million dollars against the cap....he was a great fit in the defense but it isn't surprising that he was let go.......

Will Montgomery gets the boot!
