Official Redskins First Cuts Thread

Tony Moll...we hardly knew ye

Are you getting these in real time or were all of these cuts made this morning and the players' names are just starting to trickle out now?

More or less real time. Was once a time when I would know when the coaches knew. Now...I have an idea but don't officially really know until the players themselves do. I have a good sense of what's coming down, but don't report anything until I can be totally sure

Hearing Kevin Barnes was traded to Detroit after he initially thought he was released. per WashTimes.

Interesting. I'm surprised they are informed this late in the day. Hard Knocks makes it seem like they are told right as they walk through the front door.

So far, the only one cut who had a realistic shot at making the team are Rackers and Barnes althoug it sounds like Madieu may be joining that list.

If Madieu goes, Doughty stays - and I'm okay with that. (Jackskon, Merriweather, Doughty and Gomes on the team, Bernstien to PS)

Better than nothing.. good destination for him

I should clarify and say I don't post anything until I know the player knows. He might have found out an hour ago, but I don't hear about it until 5 minutes ago

Yeah, it turns out they told him he would be released if a trade couldn't get done. Similar to the Tryon situation

And a deal fortunately got done
