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 latest roster move lands preseason fan-favorite on 53-man squad

Montae Nicholson has been sent to the IR to end the 2019 season, but the move will bring Ladler onto the active roster for the last week.

The Washington Redskins have sent yet another player to the injured reserve this week ahead of their regular-season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

This time, the move only further depleted the secondary, with safety Montae Nicholson seeing his year come to an end. However, it will bring back a fan favorite from the 2019 preseason for the Redskins in S Kenny Ladler.

Ladler has bounced around the league a little bit since being signed by the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2014. He has spent some time with the Bills, Redskins, and New York Giants. Washington will need Ladler to show some of what he did during the preseason this year, as their secondary is in dire shape after a number of players are either dealing with injuries, or have been sent to the IR.
