Redskins Expected to Release Coles

[DCopper04]

Releasing Coles is not going to give us extra room under the cap. Reports are that he is going to repay half of the signing bonus, which will decrease our cap room for this coming year, albeit by a minimal amount. Regardless of the cap ramifications of this move, this will not change what our team is looking for in free agency and the draft. Gibbs and Co. have known for a while that Coles would be gone in the near future (L.C. reportedly requested a midseason trade last year, which was denied.) The team has known this would happen all along, just the fans didn't know. Gibbs has been preparing all along for next season without Coles.

I do remember hearing some grumblings during the season that Coles was unhappy, but I think like anybody I just shrugged it off thinking he was just frustrated like everyone else. Frustrated with the offensive struggles, frustrated with losing, etc.

Who knew how serious this really was?! I guess we just found out!
