Washington releases longtime OT Moses
The Washington Football Team released longtime offensive tackle Morgan Moses on Thursday, the team announced.
Moses' release comes just days after Washington reportedly gave him permission to seek a trade. The move will save the NFC East club $7.75 million in cap space in 2021.
The 30-year-old, who's started every game at right tackle for Washington since 2015, is coming off the best season of his career, according to PFF. He allowed five sacks and 13 quarterback hits while committing six penalties in 2020.
Washington also released offensive lineman Geron Christian. The 24-year-old, who was set to become a free agent at the end of the campaign, started six games at left tackle last year before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
Washington signed veteran offensive tackle Charles Leno this offseason and drafted Samuel Cosmi in the second round.
