Wow! Didn't see this coming. I wonder how the cap is affected.

Williams must be working out or atleast showing something they like. Plus Bridges can play both Guard and RT.

Just getting ready to post it myself backrow. Unbelievable. I didn't expect this.

This is definitely surprise to us all!! Although he regressed greatly, it's kind of weird (and maybe sad?) to see him go after seeing him in Redskins uniform for years..

This must mean the coaches already have somebody in their mind who they think is capable of handling the RT spot..

I figured they would keep him one more year and backup Rabach. Wow.

Had to be done.

And props to T.O. Killa for correctly seeing our cap space and predicting this.

Gotta be cap or health related.

You dont cut a veteran lke Jansen during OTA's and mini-camps, you cut him at or near the end of training camp, but not in May.

My thought when I first saw it was "June 1st cap casualty". Players released before June 1st, the team is able to save the cap hit in the current NFL year, but take that hit the following year.

If that is the case, Vinny must really believe that next yr there will be no caps..

This is going to be about a 5 million dollar hit on the cap, or something close to that, but the only place the Redskins could spend that money anyway is an extension. From that point, this move makes sense.

CC/Schneed -- Another cap trigger similar to the one that pushed the cap up three million additional dollars went into effect this week, and pushed the cap up another million, according to Andrew Brandt of NFP.

So I'm guessing the Redskins saw that extra million dollars of cap space, looked at Jansen's contract, shrugged, and said "now's a good a time as any."

Will now turn over the floor to people who will argue that losing our only game hardened RT will actually improve our line.

Wow! I didn't think "Look-in-my-eyz" could think that far ahead! I might be wrong about him yet!

Regardless of his current state, it is a sad day. Jansen has always been one of my favorites. Good luck John and thanks for being a stand up Redskin! Gon miss ya!

Re: Jansen Released!
 
The exact hit, per the cap sheets, is $2.7 million. 37% of that hit was covered by the recent cap increase, so this was clearly an opportunity driven move, much like Haynesworth was.

Jansen was one tough SOB. The changing of the guard has definitely started. I would be very interested to see what our roster looks like 2 years from now.
