Redskins Cut 14 to Bring Roster to 75

Robert Griffin III remains on the Redskins roster for now, but 13 other players won’t get to stick around to see how Kirk Cousins does as the team’s new starting quarterback.

The team is down to 75 players on Monday, leaving them with no other moves to make before Tuesday’s deadline to trim the roster to that number. Not all of the moves were outright departures, however.

The Redskins formally ended linebacker Junior Galette’s season by placing him on injured reserve after he tore his Achilles in practice last week. Galette signed with Washington after getting released by the Saints, but they’ll have to look elsewhere for pass rushing help alongside Ryan Kerrigan.

They released defensive back Bryan McCann and tackle Willie Smith and waived tight end Ernst Brun Jr., linebacker Dyshawn Davis, tight end Chase Dixon, cornerback Tajh Hasson, linebacker Alonzo Highsmith, cornerback Drequan Hoskey, wide receiver Tony Jones, kicker Ty Long, tight end Devin Mahina, guard Bryce Quigley and cornerback Trey Wolfe.

No surprises on that list. The final cut will be far more revealing, namely whether RGIII stays on the roster and how many WRs they keep (will Ross make the cut?). I think RGIII stays and the renegotiate a deal that makes it more attractive to trade him (for other teams).
