Smith (calf) was officially released by Washington on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old didn't have much of a trade market with two years remaining on the four-year, $94 million extension he signed in 2018, so it was only a matter of time before he was cut by Washington. Smith still believes he can continue playing in the NFL but also indicated he may consider retirement. He earned Comeback Player of the Year honors after completing 67 percent of his passes for 1,582 yards with six touchdowns and eight interceptions in eight games during 2020.
Because they still have Haskins. Oh,... well, uh ... . :)
Seriously though, due to the declining salary cap, we're probably going to see a lot of roster cuts this year that might not make a lot of sense under normal circumstances. This does seem definitely to tip their hand in terms of where they're going with their 1st round draft pick this year.
