The Redskins announced that they have released five players.

They terminated the contracts of P Sav Rocca, TE Richard Quinn and DE Adam Carriker. They also waived running backs Jawan Jamison and Davin Meggett.

Good luck to Carriker resurrecting his career, I always liked him when he was here but 2 years on the bench due to injury pretty much signaled the end of his career here. I like Rocca too but his inconsistency hurt us.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

It was pretty obvious when you look at their cap hits. Surprised Bowen didn't get restructured or released.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

I hope Carriker gets another shot here assuming he's 100%... vet min anyone?

He must have hid in the Laundry Room when he saw other players being called into Bruce Allen's office. That's the only reasonable explanation.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

Yeah bring back Carriker on the cheap. High effort, high character guy. If he can't make it back then roster cut.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

It's only a matter of time before Bowen is restructured or cut. His production and injury history don't merit the money he is going to receive. Especially after re-signing Baker.

Agree. Hate to say I told you so on that contract when we got him, but yeah I told you so.

In terms of cap consequences Carriker is the only big name. (Per the cap sheets)

Carriker release saves 3.2 in cap space.
Rocca = 1.2M
Quinn = .7M
Jamison, Megget = ~.5 each.

Net savings ~6M, though I am sure that it isn't that simple.

It almost is. Just add back about $500K each for the next 5 guys moving back into the top 51. So net cap room cleared is about $3.6M.

Likewise, if we sign another player for $1.5M, he bumps someone out of the top 51. So subtract $500K for a net cap hit of $1.0M.

Tandler pegged current cap room nearly $21.5 mil.

I just looked at the cap sheets again, according to the "Cap Summary" and my count, neither Megget nor Jamison were in the top 51.

If that's true, then cutting them wouldn't save space anyway - right?

I don't disagree, but supposedly Keim said it's unlikely Carriker comes back even on the cheap. I think I heard it on Cooley's show today.

Unlikely because they said Carriker wants to move on, or because the Skins don't want him anymore, or they didn't say?

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

He failed a physical. Sounds like they're just moving on and don't expect him to be able to play.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

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.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

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

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

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.

:lol: 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...

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

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.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

Who else is a strong possibility for the chopping block?

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

[quote=skinsguy;1061688]Who else is a strong possibility for the chopping block?[/quote]

I would think Bowen and possible 2 on the Oline.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

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.

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

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.......

Re: Redskins release five including Carriker, Rocca
 

Will Montgomery gets the boot!

^ the great OL swap has begun. Steiger and Chester shouldn't feel too comfortable.

Especially Chester.

[QUOTE=Ruhskins;1064000]Especially Chester.[/QUOTE]

Yup. Everything I have read has Stieger moving to center.

The way I see it: Lauvo (?) moves into Chester's spot, Stieger takes pivot and LeRib/Gettis/UFA takes Steiger's guard spot. Compton/UFA takes over for Polumbo.
