Redskins free up additional $1.3 million in cap space with release of Odom, Ladler

The Redskins announced the release of Chris Odom and Kenny Ladler as well on Friday, clearing up an additional $1.3 million.

The Washington Redskins have made two more roster moves on Friday, releasing both DE Chris Odom and DB Kenny Ladler from the roster. The move reportedly opens up approximately $1.3 million in salary-cap space.

The Redskins made waves early on Friday morning when they announced that veteran cornerback Josh Norman would be cut from the team, and not long after, they cut ties with wide receiver Paul Richardson as well. Both of those moves were anticipated, but the new regime in Washington now seems to be cleaning house and ridding of unwanted contracts.

In total, the roster moves made on Friday will clear close to $20 million in cap space for the 2020 season.

It will be interesting to see what happens next, as there are several more contracts that the Redskins could choose to rid of.

Redskins promote Chris Odom to active roster

The Redskins made roster moves before Week 13.

Chris Odom has his chance with the Washington Redskins.

The team announced two moves before Sunday’s Week 13 clash with the Carolina Panthers. The Redskins cut linebacker Carroll Phillips and in the process bumped Odom up from the practice squad to active roster.

Odom, who had his practice squad spot eliminated in October via the Cassanova McKinzy move, has spent time in the NFL with a handful of teams since 2017 and even popped into the AAF with the Salt Lake Stallions.

Just 10 days after getting re-signed to the practice squad, Odom is now a member of the 53 and has a chance to prove on special teams and otherwise he deserves to stick for the rest of the season, if not more.
