Posted at 3:45 PM ET, 10/10/2009 [B]Redskins Cut Wynn to Make Room for Punter[/B]

Renaldo Wynn's second stint with the Redskins didn't last nearly as long as his first. Signed as a free agent last March, Wynn was released by the team today to make room for punter Glenn Pakulak on the 53-man roster.
Pakulak will punt in place of injured Hunter Smith on Sunday against the Panthers. Smith injured his groin last week against Tampa Bay. Pakulak, a 29-year-old journeyman who's with his ninth NFL team, will also serve as holder on field goals and extra-point attempts.
Wynn, in his 13th season, he struggled to find a place on the roster. With plenty of talented and younger defensive linemen ahead of him on the depth chart, Wynn has not been active for any of the first four games.

Wynn, 35, previously played for Washington from 2002-06, a regular starter for the first four years. The Redskins released him and he spent a season in New Orleans and another with the New York Giants before the Redskins decided to give him a shot in the spring.
The team isn't expected to make a corresponding move to fill the empty spot on the practice squad until after Sunday's game at Carolina.

What a loss this will be

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Not a surprise.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Not a surprise at all. This should be the end of the road for RW, nice guy but just flat out can't cut it any more, but ready for the booth.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Finally, the saga is over. That was the right choice, thank you Renaldo for years of service with the Redskins, you were a class act.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Nice guy class act, but he should of been cut along time ago & we could of kept Dixon or is it Hixon can't remember IMO.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

And a pretty good indicator of just how far things have gone awry with the defense this year. Wynn and Daniels were supposed to complement each other to lock down a gap control position in the defense, but Daniels just looks old out there, and his playing time is getting cut significantly for younger players.

There was just no room for Wynn on the field.

DT Antonio Dixon

That's alright, Golston has been our best most consistent DL this year so far. I would have given him an extension of more than 1 year, now Montgomery on the other hand is fine with a 1 year extension. I've always liked Golston's and Alexander's potential.

Daniels is showing his age. But when you have kids like Jeremy Jarmon stepping up thats a great thing this kid appears to be one of our best draft picks this year, and just look how they acquired him. For next years third, great move.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Just mentioned him as one who has worn out his usefullness. Great guy though, wish him all the best.

Thanks thats the guy went to school at the U

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Why did we keep him in the first place?

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Yeah Wynn is a class guy for sure. He has the heart of a Redskin. I guess this says something about our young guys that he couldn't get off the inactive list.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Wish him the best. He did a lot of good for the community.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Thats a good thing to see that our coaches are confident in our younger players on the D-line I mean thats what I take from this move. R.Wynn was a good player for us when had his legs under him hope for the best for him.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Wynn is a great guy and all but I saw no reason for him to even be on the team.

Daniels and Wynn have to be two of the slowest non athletic DE's in the NFL. They might as well start Jarmon. What they'll miss in blown assignments they'll get back in athletic ability and playmaking.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

I'm sure his bank account isn't disappointed. Yeah I would've like to have kept Dixon, Hixon, Nixon . . . . whatever his name was, he seemd like a hard nosed player.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Wynn -- got to feel bad for being kicked off the team for a punter..

But yes -- Wish someone younger like Dixon stayed --> he's now on the Eagles. I've been seeing RB's run around Daniels all year like he was in quicksand..

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Who says we don't resign him next week?

I agree...the Titans do it all the time with their 3rd string QB and then sign them the next week knowing no other team would have interest in their 3rd.

I doubt Wynn's in danger of going elsewhere. He'll be available when Hunter comes back.

Re: Redskins cut Wynn
 

Wynn great person, nice NFL career but he is way on the down side of his career. We need to get younger and more athletic at the DE position. No surprise considering he wasnt activated during the games.
