Cuts begin/roster moves
 

[URL="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/commanders-release-marcus-kemp"]Wide receiver Marcus Kemp is among the early cuts in Washington.[/URL]

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Commanders are releasing Kemp as they make their way down to the 53-player limit.

Kemp signed with the Commanders in March and caught one pass for five yards during the preseason. Kemp has spent most of his career with the Chiefs and appeared in 57 games for the team since the start of the 2017 season, including their Super Bowl LVII win over the Eagles.

Most of Kemp’s playing time has come on special teams and he has four career catches for 42 yards.

Ben Standig of TheAthletic.com reports that Commanders have also cut linebacker Ferrod Gardner.

Lots of guys no one has heard of cut..... tomorrow is when the interesting stuff starts. For instance

JP Finlay on X (TAFKAT)

On Commanders roster cuts from @BMITCHLIVE30: "I think a veteran guy will get released and they'll keep a younger, cheaper option on the D-Line...Youre talking Casey Toohill and James Smith-Williams, they were playing deep into the 3rd quarter, 4th quarter of that preseason game"

According to Keim they might keep them all and go with 4 LB’s

Re: Cuts begin
 

I think they will go with 4 LB regardless, whether that is to keep 11 DL, DB or OL it is the usual/obvious position to gain a needed roster spot

Re: Cuts begin
 

I was thinking that if they continue to include more 5 man fronts, and with the injuries to Mathis and Allen, it is sensible that they keep 11 DL, question is does an extra DT fill that position.

Re: Cuts begin
 

The Commanders have released RB Jaret Patterson, per source.

Re: Cuts begin
 

A more interesting release this early. Giving him a chance to catch on elsewhere and/or not making the practice squad?

Dang...all that kid does is ball out every time he plays...but they just don't like him for some reason. Hope he gets picked up somewhere he can get on the field.

They like him, it's just a deep RB room

Sucks for him but he'll land somewhere else pretty quickly

Boooooo!!!! I will never understand why they don't like JP.

Update: Braeden Daniels suffered a torn rotator cuff in the preseason finale, per source (@Matthew_Paras 1st I believe). That sucks.

Apparently Daniels suffered a torn rotator cuff last game. Out for the year.

He was having a super shitty camp anyways

That makes their decision on the OL a lot easier.

Mason Brooks, come on down....

Re: Cuts begin
 

I wonder if they have an interest in Alex Leatherwood though he’s a bust.

Re: Cuts begin
 

John Keim -

Washington will keep 11 defensive linemen, per source. It's warranted: vets James Smith-Williams and Casey Toohill can help and the young kids, Andre Jones and KJ Henry, are worth developing. Might need both in some capacity in 2024 with 5 DE's entering last year of their deals.

I hope not. Two teams let him go after 1 season on the roster, it should tell us something.

Re: Cuts begin
 

Will be interesting to see if we add someone in cuts…thinking Tackle, LB, PR/KR, aka the usual suspects

Re: Cuts begin
 

John Keim -

CB Tariq Castro-Fields has been released, per source. Had a nice summer, but more depth this year hurt his chances.

Re: Cuts begin
 

Ben Standig -

The Commanders are releasing C Tyler Larsen, per sources.

Seems likely that he re-signs after cut down day. Key reserve but someone they can risk exposing after his recent injuries.

Re: Cuts begin
 

John Keim -

Will say, trending well for WR Mitchell Tinsley. At this point, hear a good chance he ends up on the 53. Nothing official; wait/see.
A reminder: Key is to be on roster a week from Wednesday. Between final cuts and then a couple moves likely will be made. Some will make, then IR

Re: Cuts begin
 

Ian Rapaport -

The #Commanders are releasing backup QB Jake Fromm, who impressed in his final preseason game with two TDs, source said.

Re: Cuts begin
 

Ben Standig -

The Commanders have released WR/PR Kazmeir Allen, per source.

Welcome Mason Brooks!

Re: Cuts begin
 

Ben Standig -

The Commanders are releasing CB Rachad Wildgoose , per source (@Sam4TR 1st).

Re: Cuts begin
 

[quote=Chico23231;1344198]Welcome Mason Brooks![/quote]

That roster spot is likely for Tinsley at WR7, though it is interesting that we haven't heard Brooks name yet even though Montiero was cut early

Re: Cuts begin
 

[quote=EdmundDorf;1344192]John Keim -

It would be interesting to see a final ranking of the cut players, from hardest to cut to easiest to cut.

I bet if rosters were 55, he probably would have made it. But we're pretty deep in the defensive backfield and there are other positions that aren't as shored up that we need more bodies at.

Hopefully he makes it to the practice squad.

Re: Cuts begin
 

I hope McLaurin made the team.

That may be one of those "don't even joke about it" subjects, especially as he is carrying an injury.....

The goose is loose, literally. In the wild of free agency.

Re: Cuts begin

OL Mason Brooks has been released per source. Another good candidate for the PS
