Knighton has been informed that he won't be re-signed by the Redskins this offseason, The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Knighton signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Redskins last offseason, and finished the 2015 campaign with 29 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 15 games played. Despite those contributions, Knighton will not be retained by the Redskins, allowing the affectionately-nicknamed "Pot Roast" to focus on engaging interested parties ahead of signing elsewhere this offseason.
