He is just an example for me. We let people walk all the time for "salary cap reasons" yet watch all the big teams figure out how to push it down the road.

2023 Washington Roster Moves

We have more than we can keep on the active roster already but yeah, we should have …

The question also is, are the players worth tying up cap space down the road for?
Washington has 10-12 core players that are worth paying and a larger group of younger players on rookie contracts (who are not a cap issue) and mid-tier guys who at this point are simply year to year performers, ie they are replaceable.
One thing that has really frustrated me over the last 5-6 years, other than the quarterback position, is the situation at safety.
We have signed free agents, we have used multiple draft picks, and still we end up during the season bemoaning the fact we can't cover tight ends and give up maximum yardage on blown coverages down the middle of the field.
Good teams like San Francisco and Baltimore are able to find safeties and linebackers when they need them, either by making a bold move in trade (Roquan Smith) or by using targeted draft pick(s) or free agent signings where they actually come up with the starter they need.
It seems we have spun our wheels with a succession of candidates that are hyped coming in the door but then quietly leave or become backups when they don't elevate.

How about Zach Cunningham and some of the NFL veteran linebackers that are street free agents right now that could provide good depth at the position?
Ron went out and signed Cody Barton but that was only to replace Cole Holcomb, whom the team didn't deem worthy of a new deal.
We seem to be treading water at the linebacker position. In fact we might have gotten weaker as Holcomb if he can stay healthy has better upside than Barton.

Commanders release WR Alex Erickson and LB Drew White
Salary cap victims 
Treads are definitely worn in on that guy. Sheesh

Not really suprising this move and the releasing of Dantzler either; knew be hard for him to malke the team after drafting Forbes and Martin. Sure will be some more before all is said and done.

Sources: Commanders plan to cut guard Norwell
The Commanders placed Andrew Norwell on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, and sources told ESPN the team plans to release the guard once he's able to pass a physical.
