The Washington Redskins released linebacker Zach Brown and defensive lineman Stacy McGee, moves which create additional salary cap space and signals a new direction at both positions, a source confirmed.
Both moves, which save a combined $8 million, were long expected. USA Today first reported the moves.
The Redskins entered the free agency period with approximately $17 million in available cap space. They traded for quarterback Case Keenum and signed safety Landon Collins, moves that will occupy a combined $7.5 million in cap space this season. But if the Redskins want to add more players, and have enough for draft picks, they needed to free more room. Not every move was just about the salary cap, but each one does bring financial relief.
