Re-structure Contract Candidates

Possible Release Candidates

  • Wes Martin, OG – How long will he last.  His time in Washington is likely coming to an end.
  • Peyton Barber, RB – Should he stay or should he go?
  • Troy Apke, FS/ST – A special teamer only could be around in 2021, but that is the only reason why.
  • David Steinmetz, OT – Steinmetz was added to the roster late in the 2020 season.  It’s unlikely for him to be on the roster this fall.
  • Marcus Baugh, TE – Baugh probably gets his walking papers later this summer.
  • Steven Sims, WR/PR/KR – Sims has a lot to prove in OTAs, Mini-Camp, and Training Camp.
  • Geron Christian, OT – Will he be supplanted by a draft choice this year?
  • Bryce Love, RB – Oh, what could have been…
  • Thaddeus Moss, TE – The fan favorite will need to show that past injuries are behind him.
  • Greg Stroman, CB/PR – Does anyone remember him?
  • Caleb Brantley, DE/DT – He opted out last season.  Washington may opt-out from Brantley this season.
