The Redskins have waived 26-year old DT Anthony Montgomery.  This comes as no surprise as the Redskins have been collecting DTs all spring.  Montgomery played in 7 games for the Redskins last season and he had 4 tackles and he defensed 1 pass.  He played in 42 games for the Redskins in his four years with them and he has 78 tackles, he defensed 6 passes and he had 3 sacks.  The Redskins won’t miss Montgomery as they have a lot of depth on the interior of the D-Line.

The Redskins have traded 28-year old QB Jason Campbell to the Raiders for a 4th round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.  Campbell played in all 16 games for the Redskins last season and he completed 327 of 507 passes (64.5%) for 3,618 yards with 20 TD passes and 15 INTs (86.4 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 46 times for 236 yards (5.1 ypc) with 1 TD run.  In his time with the Redskins, Campbell played in 52 games in which he completed 1,002 of 1,637 passes (61.2%) for 10,860 yards with 55 TD passes and 38 INTs (82.3 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 153 times for 786 yards (5.1 ypc) with 3 TD carries in his career.  Campbell was definitely expendable as he wouldn’t be happy holding a clipboard watching Donovan McNabb play.  I think they got the best they could for Campbell but it seems like they sold him a tad low.

The Redskins have released 30-year old running back Ladell Betts.  Betts played in 10 games for the Redskins last season and he carried the ball 56 times for 210 yards (3.8 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He also caught 17 passes for 179 yards (10.5 avg) last season.  Betts played in 103 games in his 8 years with the Redskins and he carried the ball 776 times for 3,176 yards (4.1 ypc) with 13 TD runs.  He also has caught 165 passes for 1,505 yards (9.1 avg) with 3 TD grabs with the Skins.  Betts helped out on special teams too as he returned 86 kickoffs for 2,062 yards (24.0 avg) with 1 TD return for the Redskins.  The Redskins probably would have kept Betts if he didn’t hurt himself so bad last season.

The Redskins have released 38-year old QB Todd Collins.  Collins played in 3 games for the Redskins last season and he completed 12 of 23 passes (52.2%) for 144 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs (71.6 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 1 time for 0 yards last year.  Collins played in 7 games in his career for the Redskins in which he completed 79 of 128 passes (61.7%) for 1,032 yards with 5 TD passes and 0 INTs (100.1 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 9 times for 1 yard (0.1 ypc) in his career with the Skins.  The Redskins will now be in the market for a backup QB in either free agency or the draft.

The Redskins have released 30-year old RB/KR Rock Cartwright.  Cartwright played in all 16 games for the Redskins last season in which he carried the ball 64 times for 228 yards (3.6 ypc) and he also caught 27 passes for 242 yards (9.9 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Cartwright also returned 39 kickoffs for 868 yards (22.3 avg) last season.  Cartwright played in 123 games in his 8 years with the Redskins in which he carried the ball 215 times for 889 yards (4.1 ypc) with 6 TD runs and he also caught 59 passes for 555 yards (9.4 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Cartwright also returned 222 kickoffs for 5,332 yards (24.0 avg) with 1 TD return for the Redskins.  With his dual role at RB and on special teams, Cartwright might be hard to replace.
