Redskins released FS O.J. Atogwe.
It's the first step in the Redskins regaining salary cap space after Monday's staggering blow from the league office. Atogwe was a prime candidate for release because there were no guarantees left in his $3.4 million salary for 2012. The move will count as $0 in dead money against the cap. Benched late in another injury-plagued season, Atogwe's league-wide stock has dropped precipitously over the past two years. He won't get a major contract at age 31.

Texans cut Eric Winston, and as far as I can tell, well over 50% of those working in the football world right now are going crazy.

didn't he play pretty well last year, or am I tripping?

I think I read he rated as a top 6 RT.

Unfortunately I have bad news. The Texans have decided to release me today. Although it is a surprise, I have nothing but positive memories

I know he was a ZBS RT, but I think he can do well in a power blocking scheme as well. I'm surprised he was cut. Very intrigued.

Sign him and move Davis to RG.

Jesus. Peppers and Williams? That'd be nasty. How do they have the cap space for that? No money in the OL or WRs?

Meaning they're in shock? Or scrambling to sign him?

Signing bonus. He has a 10.5mil signing bonus for 2012 alone.

No way! That is every QB's nightmare.

If he comes at a valued price, we should go after him.

When does FA actually start this year? I've read 3 pm but in the past, the frenzy started at midnight. Whats new, is this something in the new CBA?

Ah thanks for the info. That kinda sucks. I used to enjoy staying up late and looking at all the news but this way makes more sense. I will definitely be checking out all my sites come 3 pm tomorrow.

This way we can actually get some sleep instead of staying up all night getting sad.
