Barber was released by Washington on Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barber was hoping to reprise his role from last season but instead seems to have lost the No. 3 spot on the depth chart to undrafted rookie Jaret Patterson, who had 180 total yards and a touchdown in three preseason games. Washington may end up re-signing Barber at some point this year if he doesn't land with another team. Experience is probably the biggest thing working in his favor at this point, with the 27-year-old plodder having logged 1,539 career snaps on offense and another 482 on special teams.
