Redskins waive six players after signing undrafted free agents

The Washington Redskins have made some roster moves in wake of the 2019 NFL Draft.

With the 2019 NFL Draft in the books, the Washington Redskins have continued to reshape their roster.

After signing eight players as undrafted free agents, the Redskins have also made some decisions on players already on the roster. Five players were deemed expendable following the draft, and they were waived as a result.

Via the team’s official Twitter account, these are the six players no longer on the ‘Skins.

None of these would qualify as major surprises. These guys were mostly just camp bodies, but some did seemingly have a shot with the team.

Kyle Fuller spent time with the Redskins last season amid injuries to their offensive line. He was one of the players that saw some action at guard, and he held up fairly well. It was expected that he would get a chance to compete on the interior line, but in the wake of the team drafting Wes Martin and Ross Pierschbacher as well as the return of Tony Bergstrom, perhaps there just wasn’t space for him.

Elsewhere on the interior line, Salesi Uhatafe was waived. Uhatafe signed with the team following the demise of the AAF. He was always a longshot to make the team, but it’s notable that he only lasted for a few weeks.

The other name of note on here is Alex Carter. A former third-round pick by the Detroit Lions, Carter was a big defensive back with upside in the secondary. He was listed as a safety by the team and was expected to compete for a depth job. Instead, he will search for a seventh NFL team as he enters his fifth season in the league.

None of these departures qualify as much of a surprise. The team always brings in some camp bodies on the 90-man roster, and these guys were expected to compete in those roles. While there is usually one or two surprises every year, more often than not, the players are waived early in the offseason. And that’s what happened to these six players.
