A number of roster moves were made in Washington on Monday afternoon, the biggest of which was linebacker Josh Harvey-Clemons choosing to opt out of the 2020 NFL season due to the coronavirus pandemic. This follows a recent trend in the NFL where a number of players have decided to forego the coming season in light of their health and safety.

In other roster moves, Washington waived DE Cameron Laveaux, DB Maurice Smith, and TE Caleb Wilson, while cutting RB Josh Ferguson. Those players will now be free to join other teams for training camp sessions ahead of the coming season.

TE Jordan Reed agrees to one-year deal with San Francisco 49ers

Jordan Reed was unable to stay healthy down the stretch in Washington, but will now look to continue his career in San Francisco.

Another long-time former Washington player has found a new home in San Francisco this season, as tight end Jordan Reed as agreed to a one-year deal with the 49ers for the 2020 NFL season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Reed will join former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, and will now play alongside LT Trent Williams in San Francisco once again.

Reed had a great career in Washington, but it was eventually plagued by injuries down the stretch. He looked good in training camp ahead of the 2019 season, but a concussion suffered in the preseason kept him out of the entire season. Many thought that he should consider retirement this offseason, but he instead declared his intent to keep playing and now will be doing so alongside George Kittle with the former NFC Champions.
